SUMMARY:Music: Heathen Apostles
DESCRIPTION:Born of the voices of past lives and baptized in the dust bowl dirt\, the Gothic Americana music of the Heathen Apostles harkens back to a bygone chapter of American history. Using contrasting influences such as Bauhaus\, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and The Pogues along with Howlin’ Wolf\, Loretta Lynn (the band covers her classic Fist City) and Bessie Smith\, the Heathen Apostles have created a style of music that at once conjurs both angels and demons\, and will enlighten a darkened soul. \nCrossing paths at a gathering one Indian summer evening\, femme fatale bellower Mather Louth (Radio Noir) and rock n roll veteran Chopper Franklin (The Cramps\, Mau Maus\, Nick Curran & the Lowlifes) quickly uncovered a mutual appreciation for murder balladry\, Americana\, and memento mori. It was not long before a collaboration that sought to marry these interests in a sonic landscape\, the Heathen Apostles\, surfaced. The landscape was further tilled with the addition of Luis Mascaro on violin. \nTheir 7 albums – Boot Hill Hymnal (2013)\, Fire to the Fuse (2015)\, Requiem For a Remix (2016)\, Bloodgrass Vol. 1 & 2 (2018)\, Dust To Dust (2019) Bloodgrass Vol. 3 & 4 (2022) and The In Between (2024) – along with their many EPs and singles (their release The Fall was named Best EP of 2018 by Folk n Rock magazine)\, capture the essence of the Heathen Apostles modus operandi: Southern Gothic Americana imagery surrounded by haunting\, minor-chord melodies\, musical influences including Gothic Roots music\, Bluegrass\, Blues\, and Gypsy Jazz\, all deftly bound together by the band’s dark and sometimes brooding sense of a bygone age. \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Comedy: Mark Thomas - 40 IN STAND-UP YEARS
DESCRIPTION:What?! Mark Thomas has been ‘standing up’ for 40 years? Impossible!! But how old does that make you…? Alas it is true; one of our oldest surviving alternative comics celebrates 40 years at the mic. \nSo\, here’s what he has done so far in numbers; performed comedy for 40 years\, won 8 awards for performing\, 4 for human rights work and 1 he invented for himself\, made 6 series of the Mark Thomas Comedy Product (Channel 4)\, written 6 books and 5 play scripts\, made 5 series of the Manifesto for Radio 4\, made 3 Dispatches for Channel 4\, sued the police (and won) 3 times\, curated and authored 2 art exhibitions with artist Tracey Moberly and had 1 Guinness World Record for holding 20 protests in 24 hours. \nIf that’s not enough\, he’s also walked 724km around the length of the Israel Wall in the West Bank\, been credited with changing the law on tax avoidance\, started a comedy club in Palestine with Dr Sam Beale and campaigned successfully for things like trade union recognition for cinema workers and getting multinationals to change their practices. You’re right\, there’s more\, but your attention is running out and we’re running out of space. So let’s just say he’s generally mucked about trying to have fun and upset the right people…which he is really\, really good at. \nSo basically expect a taster menu of government and personal mayhem\, jokes\, rants and a personal state of the nation broadcast as he tries to turn ‘what the f*ck is going on’ into a cogent hour of stand-up. \n★★★★★ “Once again shooting laughter-laden political bullets from the lip” THE RECS

SUMMARY:Music: Furlined
DESCRIPTION:Following their sold-out Hen & Chicken show in February 2026\, we are excited to welcome Furlined back. \nInfectious hooks\, rich vocals and lush\, swooning cello are the defining features of Furlined\, a Bristol-based band formed in 2012 by singer-songwriter Neil Crossley and cellist Tegan Everett. \nThe band’s sound spans alt country and wry English chamber pop – “Morrissey meets Americana” as one review put it –  and they have been likened to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds\, Richard Hawley and Orange Juice. \nFurlined have attracted acclaim in publications such as Mojo\, Clash Magazine\, RnR and Billboard. “Songwriter Neil Crossley has one of those winning\, strong yet gentle Jackie Leven / Richard Hawley baritones that do male vulnerability beautifully\,” concluded Mojo in a 4/5 review of the band’s second album Win A Dream Wedding. “Furlined’s other striking sound is Tegan Everett’s cello\, which intros most of Crossley’s dark-honey melodies… A band with distinct aural charms.” \n“Morrissey meets Americana – superb songs with an irresistible English wit.” Total Guitar 9/10

SUMMARY:Music: Angel Snow with guitarist Joe Wilkins
DESCRIPTION:We welcome Angel back to the intimate surroundings of the Hen & Chicken Studio\, with her hypnotic delivery and spellbinding style\, for a trio performance\, including guitarist Joe Wilkins and on drums\, Matt Stockham-Brown. \nAngel Snow has just completed a successful 14-date UK tour promoting her most recent release – a Tom Waits tribute album titled Yesterday Is Here. Snow’s catalogue spans four full-length records over the course of 15 years and eludes quick and easy categorisation. \nResisting all attempts to pigeonhole her style as ‘Americana’\, Snow leaned heavily on her early teenaged electronic influences for her sophomore effort\, choosing to work with UK-based producer Lee Groves (Trent Reznor). The result was Magnetic – a collection of lush\, ambient\, electronic-driven songs that landed her a record deal with indie powerhouse Nettwerk Records. Magnetic would go on to receive critical praise worldwide and deliver the viral underground hit ‘Secret.’ \nSnow remained with Nettwerk for two follow-up EPs Arrows and Arrows (Stripped)\, produced by Ben Cramer\, aka Old Sea Brigade. Once again\, Arrows delivered an under-the-radar indie viral hit after the K-pop phenom boy band BTS singer “V” included the song “Hotel Rosario” on his personal Spotify Favourites playlist\, which notably only contained five songs. \nWith the music industry grinding to a halt in 2020\, Snow continued focusing on writing\, turning to Los Angeles producer Jonathan Stein (aka Charles Jacques) for her next full-length album Low. With Stein at the helm\, Snow delivered a Covid-inspired collection of songs heavily weighted by the themes of loss\, claustrophobia\, and re-imagined trauma. \nMost notable is Snow’s starkly beautiful cover of Peter Gabriel’s ominous environmentalist warnings in “Here Comes the Flood.” Snow chose the song as a metaphor for the emotional surge arising when faced with intense loss. The entire record is punctuated by Stein’s virtuosic skills as a multi-instrumentalist. \n

SUMMARY:Comedy: Ian Stone IAN STONE IS LOOKING FOR THE WOW
DESCRIPTION:EXTRA SHOW DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND\n\n\n“Life can’t just be the humdrum\, the mundane and the routine before the inevitable slide to disease\, decay and death. Why can’t we sneak in a bit of awesome\, a tad of amazing and maybe a smidge of wonderful? A forest canopy opening onto a huge vista would be enchanting for some but my ancestors wandered in the desert for forty years\, I think we’ve been outdoors enough. Others get their fix from the spiritual but I’ve been harbouring a grudge against God since my mother stopped me going to Arsenal after my Barmitzvah. Forty nine years ago. ’God will be watching’ she said. Well\, at least he got to see the game. The point is\, life could be so much better so I’m on the lookout. Come and join me on the hunt.”\n\n\nIan Stone is a hugely experienced broadcaster\, podcaster and writer and a brilliantly funny comedian. He performs at major comedy festivals and venues globally.

In 2023\, he won the prestigious Spirit of the Fringe Award. He took his last show on tour across the UK\, finishing with a sold-out performance at London’s Comedy Store. Ian recently returned from making his debut at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

SUMMARY:Music: Terra Spencer
DESCRIPTION:A solo performance from an award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter. \nBad ideas\, VCRs\, crumbling factories\, hairy dogs\, questionable tattoos…all are fair game for Nova Scotian funeral director-turned-songwriter Terra Spencer. And the songs are good ones\, judging from the accolades her four albums have received\, and from the caliber of her collaborators\, which include David Francey\, Dave Gunning\, and Matt Andersen. \nAlthough her butterscotch voice\, deft fingerstyle guitar\, and gospel-charged piano make her a formidable musician\, it’s her onstage ease and crackling wit that make each show feel like a knee-to-knee conversation in a room of 5 or 500. “The real deal.” – Ron Sexsmith
