SUMMARY:Music: Never The Bride
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of Never The Bride are two trailblazing women: powerhouse vocalist Nikki Lamborn — hailed by Roger Daltrey as “the best female rock voice since Janis Joplin” — and Catherine “Been” Feeney\, the band’s primary composer\, keyboardist\, and occasional guitarist. Together\, they craft music with grit\, grace\, and passion\, supported by a world-class lineup of musicians. \nTheir career reads like a rock and roll hall of fame — sharing stages with legends such as The Who\, Robert Plant\, Elton John\, Paul Rodgers\, Eric Clapton\, and Beth Hart. Their unforgettable rendition of Going to California on Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin earned them a gold disc\, further cementing their place in music history. \nBBC’s Bob Harris\, a long-time supporter\, introduced their live album Long Live Live with these words: “I was absolutely struck by their brilliant musicianship\, their passion\, their commitment — they really\, mean it. They are one of the best live bands in Britain today. \nListen here

SUMMARY:Jazz: Nick Malcolm and Martin Kolarides Quartetand Martin Kolarides
DESCRIPTION:Nick Malcolm – trumpet\, Martin Kolarides – guitar\, Greg Cordez – bass\, Mark Whitlam – drums \nTrumpeter Nick Malcolm should be well known to Bristol audiences and has a growing national reputation. A fearless and inventive soloist\, he moves effortlessly between completely free improvisation and blistering hard-bop. He is known for his work with Out Front\, Dee Byrne’s Outlines\, Rebecca Nash and has recently ended a long tenure with the Jazz Defenders. \nGuitarist Martin Kolarides is yet another fine musician who has been drawn from London into the mysterious jazz vortex of Frome in Somerset. A graduate of London’s Trinity College of Music\, Martin has established himself as one of the most creative\, versatile and hard working musicians in the UK. Equally at home playing rock\, blues\, swing and jazz\, Martin has worked with many outstanding musicians who have inspired his love of many styles including jazz\, folk\, Americana\, experimental pop and electronica to name just a few. In addition to writing for and directing his own groups\, Martin is a seasoned session player with numerous jazz and pop credits to his name… recent notable artists have included mainstream TV appearances with US singer-songwriter Valerie June as well as being the touring guitarist for another US act\, chart topping jazz/R&B singer Lizz Wright. Martin has also recorded two top 20 albums and performs internationally with English close harmony vocal trio The Puppini Sisters. He has also recently completed a European tour with US singer and Snarky Puppy guest vocalist Shayna Steele\, and is one of the founding members of electronic neo-soul outfit HUGH. Martin also produces music under the guise of ‘Sinking Monolith’ and has numerous writing and remix credits to his name. \nIt’s great to welcome back bassist Greg Cordez to the live scene. Having recorded three albums as band leader and composer\, two of which were recorded in the USA with top-flight American players\, Greg has rather retreated in to academia since Covid\, concentrating on his teaching job at BIMM music college – but now he’s back and ready for a new chapter. \nDrummer Mark Whitlam also tutors at BIMM and is currently working on his PhD. One of Bristol’s busiest musicians\, Mark has worked with major jazz names such as Andy Sheppard\, Iain Ballamy and Jason Rebello.

SUMMARY:Music: Lilly Hiatt
DESCRIPTION:The search for answers—where she’s been\, who she’s become\, what it all means—lies at the heart of Hiatt’s striking new album\, Forever. Written and recorded in Hiatt’s new home just outside Nashville\, the collection grapples with growth and change\, escape and anxiety\, self-loathing and self-love. \nThe songs are intensely vulnerable here\, full of diaristic snapshots and deeply personal ruminations\, but they’re also broad invitations to find yourself in Hiatt’s unflinching emotional excavations\, to see your own humanity reflected back in her pursuit of something larger than herself. Hiatt cut the album with her husband\, Coley Hinson\, who produced and played most of the instruments on the record\, and the result is a raw\, unvarnished work of love and trust that walks the line between alt-rock muscle and singer/songwriter sensitivity\, a bold\, guitar-driven\, at times psychedelic exploration of maturity and adulthood from an artist who wants you to know you’re not alone\, no matter how lost you may feel. \n  \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Music: Jon Wilks
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed singer\, guitarist and storyteller Jon Wilks is known for his work at the intersection of traditional folk and contemporary narrative songwriting.

On bass is Rich Davies\, one of Jon’s oldest friends; they first played together as teenagers in the Midlands and are reuniting musically for the first time since 2003. On drums is Laurence Hunt\, known for his work with the Wayward Band and Hack Poets Guild.

Carl Barat\, The Libertines \n‘Wilks proves once again what a stand-out talent he really is. There is an honesty and compassion in Wilks’ writing and performance\, which is entirely charming’. Klofmag \n‘A scholar’s ear for vernacular and a dashing sense of verve on fingerpicked guitar’. Uncut Magazine \n‘Sublime songwriting. Wilks is a rather special performer.’ Folk Radio \n  \nNeedless Alley | Jon Wilks \n

SUMMARY:Jazz: Trinomika
DESCRIPTION:Greg Sterland – tenor sax\, Pasquale Votino – bass\, Paolo Adamo – drums \nThis trio were heard recently hosting one of the jam sessions at the Stag and Hounds and impressed greatly with their well structured set and careful use of the chordless instrumentation. \nVery much a cooperative venture\, the compositions developed as a group make full use of the available pallet of sounds. You can hear the earthy influence of the down town New York scene as well as the avant garde. \nShades of Tim Berne\, Chris Speed et al as well as a plethora of influences from within the more straight ahead jazz tradition also – all played with heart and beauty in this highly interactive and musical trio.

SUMMARY:Jazz: Kevin Figes Ad Hoc Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Figes – alto sax/flute\, Dale Hambridge – piano\, Matthew Read – bass\, Andy Hague – drums \nDue to illness\, poor Brigitte Beraha has had to cancel the first part of her tour\, so many thanks for the musicians above for stepping in at short notice. The great thing about the Bristol scene is that it is often possible to put a really strong line-up together at short notice. \nKevin Figes is of course a stalwart of the scene\, endlessly creative and productive with his many projects\, Pig Records label and now short film ventures. The band will probably mainly play standard material\, but perhaps a couple of Kevin’s original tunes if a quick rehearsal is managed beforehand – just to be clear this line-up has been assembled especially for tonight’s gig and is not one of Kevin’s regular projects.

SUMMARY:Music: St Catherine's Child
DESCRIPTION:ST CATHERINE’S CHILD:  “Softly stunning\, mesmerising country-tinged indie” Holler \nTransatlantic singer-songwriter Ilana Zsigmond AKA St Catherine’s Child is one of the rising stars of the Indie-Folk/Americana scene. She was invited into the Recording Academy as one of their ‘Class of 2024”. \nHaving signed to TRO Essex Music and Shamus Records in New York in late 2024\, her debut album is This Might Affect You. The album’s songs tell the deeply personal and chronological story of enduring and recovering from the illness and death of her father. The A side chronicles the time leading up to his death\, and the B side explores the aftermath of his passing and how she processed it. \nZsigmond decided to reach out to others who also had recently experienced loss and ask them to collaborate\, and as a result\, 10 of the 12 songs on the album are co-written with other songwriters. The songs on the album defy traditional genre classification and range from gun ballad to sea shanty to punk and beyond. The album’s title\, This Might Affect You\, is a reference to a construction planning notice Zsigmond saw during her father’s illness that encapsulated everything she was experiencing and processing\, and how it affected her and everyone around her. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Music: The Alan Fletcher Band - Back To School Album Tour
DESCRIPTION:Alan Fletcher is a household name in the UK because of his portrayal of Dr Karl Kennedy in the popular Australian drama Neighbours. Thousands of people also know Alan’s work as a successful musician\, first as a Rock artist with his band Waiting Room and lately as a fine Americana and Alt/Country singer-songwriter. \nIn 2024 Alan and his five-piece band promoted his album The Point on a sold-out 22 date UK tour \nIn 2025 Alan and the band return to the UK for a 32-date tour promoting his upcoming album Back to School. \nAlan’s songs are a blend of humour (For the Love of Lager\, How Good is Bed\, I’ve Got a Crush on Susie K) and poignant reflections on love and life (Hey You\, The Point\, Back to School) \nDon’t miss the opportunity to enjoy Alan’s songs and meet a TV legend up close and personal. \nWhat they say about Alan’s gigs. \nEngaging\, delightful\, wistful and original\, The Point is classically crafted whilst contemporarily composed. It’s an album that covers a wide spectrum of emotions\, that shakes and stirs with infectious honesty. – The Manc Review (mancreview.com)\nOverall\, Alan Fletcher delivered a show that surprised in the best possible way. He had a fantastic vocal quality throughout as well as some solid guitar playing\, but what elevated the evening for me was the balance he struck between thoughtfulness and fun and the strength of his connection with the crowd. It’s safe to say he’s going to appeal to music fans way beyond just those who know him from ‘Neighbours’.\nEntertainment-focus.com – Laura Cooney \nAlthough the essence of the show is the great Americana of Alan’s songs and delivery\, Jen added some lovely\, polished vocals and the whole band was exceptional … it is always great to see such a high-quality band having such a ball on stage … and the audience rightly loving every second. Five hugely talented musicians and singers delivering a truly outstanding set of Americana … up there with the finest gigs ever … loved every second … richly entertaining show … doesn’t get much better!! \nRich Wakefield Leicester Musician review 2024 \n

SUMMARY:Music: The Pine Hill Haints
DESCRIPTION:Alabama Ghost Country Music\nAlabama’s favourite haunted artists The Pine Hill Haints return with their latest long player\, Shattered Pieces Of The True Cross\, on Single Lock Records\, available in stores physical and digital on May 30.\nThe collection of southern psychedelic tunes were recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound on Jackson Highway\, captured and mixed by Ben Tanner\, Grammy-winning producer/engineer and Single Lock co-founder. \nThe Haints have long represented a 21st century chapter in the Muscle Shoals music legacy\, applying a DIY ethos to folk and blues traditions. Not unlike their Swamper forebears in the same studio\, the Haints transcend their myriad influences to sculpt a sound of their own.\nThe album bears their signature sonic palette – washtub bass\, snare drum (no bass drums allowed!)\, washboard\, and the occasional singing saw – and combination of styles: Scotch Irish traditional music via Appalachia (“Ki Yi Woopi Ti Yay” and “Henry My Son”\, classic country (“Honky Tonk and Dance With You”) and punk rock (“Svenghoolia”)\, plus a fresh take on the Grateful Dead song “Loser”. \n  \nHave a listen here \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Jazz: Hopkins-Hammond Trio with Gary Alesbrook
DESCRIPTION:The Hopkins-Hammond Trio was formed in 2016 to explore the classic organ trio line-up popularised by Jimmy Smith of Hammond organ\, guitar and drums. It was immediately apparent that the players generated a special chemistry\, and they have gone on to become one of the hardest grooving bands on the Bristol scene\, playing tunes by the likes of John Scofield\, Larry Goldings and Pat Metheny and their own originals. For this special event they are joined by outstanding trumpeter Gary Alesbrook. \nMatt Hopkins – guitar. Matt’s inventive and melodic guitar playing has been featured in groups as stylistically diverse as Andy Sheppard’s Hotel Bristol and Emily Wright & The Royals. He also takes the lead role in the “Music of Pat Metheny” project alongside pianist Dave Newton. Matt is also known as an instructor and educator\, specialising in jazz improvisation. \nScott Hammond – drums. Scott is probably best known for playing rock music with Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull all over the globe since 2010 but he’s not just a rocker. Jazz\, especially in the organ trio setting\, has always been close to Scott’s heart and this trio shows a more subtle side to his playing. In the jazz world Scott has worked with Alan Barnes\, Tina May\, Herb Geller\, Bobby Wellins\, Jason Rebello\, Pee Wee Ellis and many others. More recently Scott has formed funk band Jingu Bang to play early Herbie Hancock and Weather Report type material. \nRuth Hammond – organ. Ruth has many strings to her bow as she is equally adept on organ\, piano\, saxophones\, accordion and vocals. After graduating from Leeds College of Music in 1998\, she became Runner Up in the Young Jazz Musician of the Year (on tenor saxophone). She has released a solo album “All The Good Things” which features her singing her own songs. She also plays sax in Jingu Bang alongside Scott\, and is often heard around town with the Brass Junkies. \nSpecial guest: Gary Alesbrook – trumpet/flugelhorn. Gary studied jazz trumpet at Leeds College of Music. His debut jazz album\, “Jazz In Movies\,” was released in 2018 and his second album “The Stories We Tell Ourselves” was released in 2019. Alesbrook started his session career in 1999 with the Super Furry Animals\, touring and playing on the albums ‘Mwng\, Rings Around the World\, Hey Venus! and Phantom Power. He also played on Gruff Rhys solo album\, Hotel Shampoo. Alesbrook recorded with Kasabian in 2006 playing “The Doberman” on their second album “Empire.” He toured next with the Scissor Sisters on their UK dates and for their live DVD recorded July 2007 at London O2 arena. He then joined Kasabian for recording and touring from 2007 until the present day\, recording on Empire\, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum\, Velociraptor! 48:13 and most recently For Crying Out Loud. In between Kasabian commitments Alesbrook also toured and performed with US RnB artist Raphael Saadiq\, Kelis\, Rag ‘N’ Bone Man\, Nadine Coyle and recorded on albums KT Tunstall\, Tiger Suit and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Jazz: Fini Bearman
DESCRIPTION:Fini Bearman is a superb vocalist who took over from Brigitte Beraha as vocal tutor for the last few years of the Falmouth Jazz Summer School\, and is Professor of Jazz Songwriting at London’s Guildhall School. Visiting the club for the first time\, she is touring nationally with her band of A-list London jazz musicians. \nFini tours regularly across Europe and notable performances include Ronnie Scott’s\, The Sage Gateshead\, The Barbican\, The A-Trane (Berlin)\, Cafe Mercedes Jazz (Valencia)\, Manzioli (Izola\, Slovenia) and Dizzy’s (Jazz at the Lincoln Center\, New York). Festival highlights include the London Jazz Festival\, Manchester Jazz Festival\, Berlin Jazz Festival\,  ‘Jazz Voices’ in Lithuania and ’Voicingers’ in Poland. \nFor this tour she is presenting music from her 5th studio album “Last Night of the World” (Pastiche Records). An eclectic collection of jazz\, folk & pop-infused songs\, Last Night of the World draws on Fini’s experiences of motherhood & new beginnings\, of love & loss\, sometimes of a new-found sense of meaning\, sometimes an existential lack thereof! The record was conceived using writing exercises created for her work teaching songwriting\, and these seeds grew over time\, coming to fruition in tandem with her pregnancy; final vocal and instrumental takes often taking place with Bridget asleep in a sling… Inspiration for the songs is drawn from a diverse spectrum of influences: the melodic inventiveness of Madison Cunningham\, the esoteric jazz/folk realms of Becca Stevens\, Chris Thile\, Paul Simon and the electronic\, minimalist songwriting voice of Bjork. \nThis album marks a departure from Fini’s last LP (the solo record La Loba\, 2020) and acts as a return to her true ‘musical north’- a jazz-meets-indie-pop rhythm section playing lyric-based songs\, with nuanced and at times complex harmonic structures and rhythmic idiosyncrasies. Each song is individual and unique in its own right\, with space for improvisation\, interaction and connection. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Jazz: Matt Anderson And Friends
DESCRIPTION:London-based saxophonist and Dankworth Prize-winning composer Matt Anderson released his fourth album\, Live at Leeds Jazz Festival\, in 2024 with his long-running quartet. This live recording from the middle of their May 2023 U.K. tour is a snapshot of the band at their best: stretching out on a set of original tunes with a characteristically open\, interactive and risk-taking approach. The roots of jazz are never far away\, with a rhythmic feel and blues sensibility that is anchored in the tradition\, however the music also expands into other areas such as modal and contemporary harmony and British folk-style melodies\, giving the group a distinctive identity. \n“a well-integrated\, swinging and supremely confident ensemble… [with] a soulful depth to his musicality that underpins the academic attention to detail” – Jazzwise **** \n“The band’s synergy as an ensemble shines brightly in this live setting… a must-listen album” – Jazz in Europe \nBorn in the North Yorkshire Moors\, the son of a music teacher and based in Leeds for a time\, Matt has lived in London since 2015. Becoming part of the fertile jazz scene in the capital\, he has since performed with artists/bands such as Will Vinson\, Greg Hutchinson (with the Jiannis Pavlidis Quintet)\, Ivo Neame\, the Gareth Lockrane and Calum Gourlay big bands\, Jamie Doe’s Magic Lantern and Hannes Riepler\, and he has also toured in New Zealand\, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. In 2023\, he became a D’Addario Woodwinds artist and was also made an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music for contributions to the music industry.\nFor this appearance\, Matt will be joined by some of his favourite musicians from the Bristol music scene\, playing for the first time with pianist Rebecca Nash and drummer Andy Hague\, alongside his long-time collaborator bassist Will Harris\, who is a regular member of the Matt Anderson Quartet. \n
