SUMMARY:Little Barrie + Edgar Jones
DESCRIPTION:Little Barrie + Edgar Jones  \n7:30pm\, Friday 18th September\, Bedford Esquires \nPleased to announce the debut visit of Little Barrie to Bedford Esquires on Friday 18th September. \nCast in the grand tradition of great British rock bands\, and fuelled by a love of American blues\, funk and soul\, Little Barrie’s sixth studio album is the first released solely under the band’s own name since the death of drummer Virgil Howe in September 2017. The LP follows more than two decades of activity that have established the band as a key force in UK psychedelic rock and soul. Following Howe’s passing\, Cadogan and founding bassist Lewis Wharton placed the future of the band on hold. After initial plans to resume playing were disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic\, the pair began collaborating with long-time friend Malcolm Catto (The Heliocentrics). This partnership resulted in two albums\, Quatermass Seven (2020) and Electric War\, released on Easy Eye Sound in April 2025. For Gravity Freeze\, the hooks are sharper\, the grooves are deeper\, and the atmospherics thicker\, building on the band’s previous\, highly-acclaimed work. \n“Have you ever had sleep paralysis?” asks Cadogan\, discussing the title track of the trio’s latest offering. “That’s what ‘Gravity Freeze’ is written about. It’s like a nickname I gave to that moment where you’ve woken up and you’re still dreaming. The first time that happened to me\, I freaked because I couldn’t move\, but I couldn’t tell if I was awake or not. It’s a very strange feeling\, and you do weird things\, like trying to walk through wardrobes. There are a few elements on the album that reflect what we’ve been through in the last few years. We’ve been through a lot\, some of which we’re still processing.” \nWork on the LP began in late 2023. The album was recorded at Rat Salad Studios in Hornsey\, North London\, with Rupert Lyddonserving as recording engineer and co-producer. Continuing the band’s established DIY approach\, early demos were captured in a cold room room in Dalston surrounded by partial drum kits\, art equipment\, and random bits of wood and metal\, before formal recording sessions began. Coote joined the band for the album\, contributing performances informed by classic jazz\, soul and blues rhythms. Recording took place alongside Cadogan’s commitments as a touring and session guitarist\, including work with Liam Gallagher and John Squire\, The Black Keys\, and THE THE\, as well as sessions at Easy Eye Sound Studios in Nashville. \nGravity Freeze was written and sequenced with vinyl in mind and marks over 25 years since Little Barrie’s first singles on Stark Reality. The release represents a new chapter for the band following a nine-year gap since their previous studio album. \nTickets on sale now from Friday 27th March from Seetickets\, Esquires Bar and Slide Record Shop.

SUMMARY:Midding + guests
DESCRIPTION:Midding are coming to Bedford….\n\nThrough the release of two EPs on Tough Love Records\, Midding have established a sound that feels both familiar and entirely their own. Expect a blend of lo-fi tape saturation\, fuzz-soaked guitars and melodic vocals; their songs balance noise and atmosphere with catchy pop sensibilities in equal measure.\nTaking cues from the golden era of Creation Records\, but without relying on the comfort of nostalgia\, Midding’s music then is hazy\, hook-laden\, shimmery and distorted\, all together at once. \n\nMidding sit in the shadowy space between post‑punk unease\, shoegaze haze\, and art‑rock precision — a band who build songs like weather fronts. Their sound moves from quiet\, brittle minimalism to towering walls of distortion\, always with a sense of emotional weight and slow‑creeping drama. \nSupport tbc \nTix on sale now

DESCRIPTION:Cardinals + Guests \n7:30pm\, Wednesday 2nd September\, Bedford Esquires \nCardinals are a thinking person’s band. Their sound\, on paper\, isn’t ripping up any rule books or straying too far from any guitar-band stylistic norms. But there’s something in the way that the five members – built on familial ties and life-long friendships – convey their music that feels unique and complex; of greater depth than when it first appears. \nOriginally hailing from Kinsale\, now relocated to Cork\, the quintet – brothers Euan and Finn\, their cousin Darragh and childhood friends Oskar and Aaron – are the latest formidable artistic force hailing from Ireland. Following in the footsteps of now globally acclaimed bands like The Murder Capital and Fontaines D.C. (who they supported at their huge Finsbury Park day festival last summer)\, the lads are flying their nation’s flag\, merging colourings of Irish traditionalism into a palette of edgy post-punk and intricate art-rock. \nWith Masquerade\, their debut album via So Young Records\, the band proved that they’re well worth their sizeable hype. Recorded with Shrink at RAK Studios\, the body of work walks a concise\, conceptual double-crossing – a classic\, tasteful dichotomy of dark and light. The cover art embodies it – the icy\, moribund nature on top and the blood red\, religiously suggestive passion below. \nThe sonics\, distorted and daring\, ameliorated by Finn’s wonderful accordion\, grow darker the further the album unfolds – from tender and anxious vulnerability towards flirtations of a fiery fury as the climax approaches. Such is mirrored in frontman Euan’s songwriting choices – depicting tales of tenderness and violence alike\, an impressive and poetic portfolio of inner musings that stitch together a tapestry of emotions. \nTickets on sale now

SUMMARY:Golomb + The Class
DESCRIPTION:Moulded in the fertile rock crescent of Columbus\, Ohio\, three-piece Golomb (rhymes with Column) channel Midwest friction into an album that seeks to find a genuine connection. The band boasts not one\, but two bonded dynamics\, something of an aberration among most trios. Siblings Xenia (bass) and Hawken (drums) tie down the rhythm section with songwriter/guitarist Mickey Shuman and Xenia turning their tags to spouse after years of dating. The close bonds between the members have fed into the band’s process — family and friends first and band second\, leveraging years of trust to turn The Beat Goes On into an album that never wavers in its sincerity. \nBounding through bluster like Loop one minute and hunkered down like Pixies pummeling pop’s soft spots at Fort Apache the next. The underlying buzz on “Real Power” dips a few miles south of Columbus to channel Dayton’s favorite sons\, stitching together some clear-eyed clamor from the GBV playbook. The band lays it bare on “Dog” with a slow slink that builds toward the singed elegance of Spiritualized and a lyrical labyrinth that’s cut and pasted into a Burroughs-esque blur of rock motifs. The song peaks in pure maelstrom with a glorious glut of feedback foaming out of the speakers. The familiar specter of The Velvets rears its head in the shambolic beat of the title track\, and “Other Side Of The Earth” gets gooey with dub\, but never loses the band’s ability to feed the fray. Then\, they wind guitar around their rhythms with the grace of early Built To Spill on “Be Here Now\,” letting the sax twirls of Henry Ross send the song into the ether. \nGolomb was formed in 2019 by Mickey and Xenia. The couple briefly moved out of Ohio\, before coming back in 2020 and settling into Xenia’s folks house. Hawken joined the fold and the trio began a working relationship with engineer Keith Hanlon\, capping off a series of self-released recordings with the 3-song Love EP in 2024. Hanlon is behind the board for The Beat Goes On\, recorded at Musicol and Secret Studio in Columbus\, showcasing a bigger\, bolder dynamic that captured the band’s live energy to tape. The album was then mixed by Drew Vandenberg at Chase Park Transductions in Athens\, Georgia. \n  \nTickets on sale now

SUMMARY:The Zipheads + The Speedways
DESCRIPTION:The Zipheads return to Bedford with their hybrid of 50’s rock’n’roll fused with 70’s punk rock energy- their first appearance at Esquires since 2023!  \nFormed in nearby St Albans\, The Zipheads have been seen on stages all over the UK\, Europe and the USA\, and at festivals such as Boomtown\, Shambala and Glastonbury- releasing their third album Rock’n’Roll Renaissance last year to critical acclaim and a packed-out launch show at Camden Underworld. \nHailed as “London’s powerpop kings” (Vive Le Rock)\, The Speedways have never been afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves. Sure\, you’ll hear the influence of old reliables The Ronettes\, Cheap Trick and Tom Petty\, but with their golden harmonies and shimmering chords\, the band have gone all out to create something that pushes the boundaries of what we’ve come to know as powerpop. \nMaking their Esquires debut\, The Speedways are no strangers to the UK gig-circuit\, and can often be found abroad with rapturously-received tours of Spain\, Germany and Sweden firmly establishing themselves as the current leaders of the European powerpop scene. \nJoin us for a summer night of powerpop\, rockabilly\, classic rock and punk- all under the exalted banner of rock’n’roll- at one of the UKs best independent venues on Friday 14th August! \n  \nTHE ZIPHEADS- \nhttps://www.facebook.com/zipheads/ \nhttps://www.instagram.com/zipheads/ \nhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/3tPwetxCt5IbMEMiPRWDF9 \n  \nTHE SPEEDWAYS- \nhttps://www.facebook.com/JustAnotherRegularSummer \nhttps://www.instagram.com/thespeedways/ \nhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/2yHKSswjpUFmKC6OrLe5Uh

The band\, completed by the addition of Steve Diggle and John Maher\, opened for the Sex Pistols in Manchester on July 20th\, a follow up to the now (in)famous Lesser Free Trade Hall gig which Devoto and Shelley had organised the month before. Gigs in Manchester and London followed\, and by the end of 1976\, Buzzcocks became one of the first groups to form their own independent record label – New Hormones – on which they released the now-legendary and seminal ‘Spiral Scratch’ EP. \nThe following year saw the departure of Devoto and the recruitment of bassist Steve Garvey. In August 1977\, the band signed a recording contract with United Artists Records and released the landmark ‘Orgasm Addict’ single. This was swiftly followed by ‘What Do I Get?’\, the band’s first entry into the UK top 40 singles chart and the first of a string of chart singles. Over the next three years\, Buzzcocks toured extensively and released a trilogy of outstanding albums: Another Music in a Different Kitchen\, Love Bites and A Different Kind of Tension\, as well as the hugely influential and popular Singles Going Steady compilation. In 1981\, the band went their separate ways to undertake new projects. 1989 saw the reconvened Shelley/Diggle/Garvey/Maher line-up tour the world again by popular demand. Since then\, the Shelley/Diggle partnership has been the core of sustained and successful activity without pause\, punctuating the years of high profile gigging to date with six successful and well-received studio albums\, culminating in 2015’s The Way. \nFew have had the longevity and sustained creative energy to produce the seemingly endless stream of truly original and fantastic pop songs that Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle have consistently delivered over the last four decades. Original and best. With the untimely passing of Pete Shelley in December 2018\, Buzzcocks have continued to play live shows with founding member\, Steve Diggle\, taking over vocal duties to front the band.   Steve has sung with the band from the very beginning\, writing 50 songs\, including hits “Promises”\, “Fast Cards” & “Harmony in my Head”. He will be joined by the long term current line-up of Danny Farrant (Drums) & Chris Remington (Bass) performing all the classics. \n“I am going to raise the mast & set the sails for the next voyage of the good ship\, Buzzcocks” – Steve Diggle \nTickets priced £30 are on sale from 10am on Wednesday 1st April from Seetickets and available in person from Slide Record Shop and Esquires Bar.
