SUMMARY:GIFT + Oslo Twins
DESCRIPTION:“Share the present and bolster the light…” \nGIFT is a psychedelic rock band from Brooklyn\, NY\, whose sonic vibrations nod to echo-heavy ‘90s psychedelic icons like Brian Jonestown Massacre and Spiritualized. Formed right before the global pandemic in 2020. The band consists of TJ Freda\, Jessica Gurewitz\, Kallan Campbell\, Justin Hrabvosky\, and Cooper Naess. \nInspired by Ram Dass’ legendary book Be Here Now\, the name GIFT is a play on words invoking the word “present\,” as in “the present\,” as in “it’s a gift to live and breathe in the present.” \nWhile the Brooklyn-based band’s sound can be described as “psychedelic rock\,” the genre moniker fails to fully illustrate the breadth of GIFT’s resonance\, which touches as much on the hypnotic rhythms of avant pop band Stereolab as it does the spaced-out rock’n’roll of Spacemen 3. \nSpecial guests : Oslo Twins are a dream pop duo who emerged from Bristol’s DIY scene\, known for their moody\, synth driven soundscapes that blend trip-hop\, lo-fi and atmospheric electronica. \nTickets on sale now

SUMMARY:The Men They Couldn’t Hang
DESCRIPTION:The Men They Couldn’t Hang + guests \n7:30pm\, Sat 10th October\, Bedford Esquires \nFounded in 1984\, TMTCH evolved from the Shepherd’s Bush squatting and busking scene to make their debut supporting Poguemahone at the Electric Ballroom in Camden in the Easter of that year. Swiftly their uproarious and engaging style\, coupled with keenly contemporary songs\, gained a passionate national following\, leading to a 40 year career filled with much loved music\, a dedicated fan community and high octane performances. Touring continually throughout their career\, TMTCH have crossed the globe by way of Europe\, Canada\, USA\, Iceland\, Egypt and Estonia.

SUMMARY:Martin McAloon of Prefab Sprout
DESCRIPTION:MARTIN McALOON ANNOUNCES STEVE McQUEEN – SLIGHT RETURN UK TOUR \nFollowing the overwhelming response to last year’s celebrated Two Wheels Good tour\, Martin McAloon is hitting the road again this autumn — this time bringing Prefab Sprout’s landmark album Steve McQueen to towns\, cities and venues that the tour didn’t reach first time around. \nSteve McQueen – Slight Return is a joyful acknowledgement of the demand that never quite went away. “Following the national and international success of the Two Wheels Good tour\,” says Martin\, “it seemed right to acknowledge just how many people were asking for more — in places we hadn’t yet reached. I’m buoyed by the reception these songs received\, and I’m thrilled to be taking the album out on the road one last time.” One of the most beloved British records of the 1980s\, Steve McQueen will be performed in full — and that’s just the beginning. As with last year’s shows\, Martin will also be drawing from the wider Prefab Sprout catalogue\, bringing to life as many of his brother Paddy’s songs as the evening will hold. Last year’s repertoire stretched to over thirty songs beyond the album itself. \n“An absolute delight and must-see for any Prefab Sprout fan and a masterclass in how to survive the music business and remain human.” Peter Freeth – At The barrier.com \nThese are evenings for fans old and new: intimate\, warm\, and overflowing with some of the most beautifully crafted pop songs this country has ever produced.\nSteve McQueen – Slight Return | Autumn 2026 | UK Tour \nUnreserved seating and standing – Tickets on sale from Friday 8th May\, 10am at Seetickets

SUMMARY:TV SMITH (The Adverts)
DESCRIPTION:TV SMITH (The Adverts)  – 7:30pm\, Saturday 24th October\, Bedford Esquires \nPleased to announce TV SMITH (The Adverts) calls into Bedford Esquires on Sat 24th Oct for a solo show. \nTV Smith was founder member\, singer and songwriter for the Adverts\, who formed in late 1976\, and were one of the leading bands in the first wave of British punk rock. In early 1977 they performed regularly at the newly-opened Roxy Club in London\, and gained cult success with the Stiff Records single “One Chord Wonders.” Their next release\, “Gary Gilmore’s Eyes” became a top twenty hit record\, leading to radio and TV appearances and extensive media interest. A further single\, “No Time To Be 21\,” also entered the charts\, and the band spent the rest of the year playing live\, including major tours with The Damned and Iggy Pop. The album that followed in early 1978\, “Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts\,” is still considered a genuine classic of the era and is often cited as one of the twenty best punk albums ever released. \nThe Adverts released one more album\, “Cast Of Thousands\,” before they split in 1979. Slammed by the critics at the time\, the album was later re-released to universal acclaim\, and described by Mojo magazine as “the long lost punk album that rivals The Clash’s ‘London Calling’.” \nImmediately after the break up of The Adverts\, TV formed TV Smith’s Explorers\, who gained a UK chart hit in 1980 with the single “Tomahawk Cruise\,” and released the album “Last Words Of The Great Explorer” a year later. Lack of commercial success led to the band being dropped by their record label and their subsequent split. After a period of intense songwriting TV re-entered the live arena in 1986 with the band Cheap\, before performing his first gigs as a solo artist in the early ’90’s. Since then he has established himself as the leading solo performer of the punk rock scene and has released many albums. He has also been involved in a number of collaborations with other bands\, most notably with German superstars Die Toten Hosen\, who performed as TV’s backing band on the album “Useless.” \nTV released a brand new album entitled “Handwriting” in April 2024 on Easy Action in the UK/USA and the Toten Hosen label JKP/Warners in Europe. Recorded in collaboration with renowned producer and multi-instrumentalist Gerry Diver\, the pair have created a record with a thrilling totally new musical landscape using no conventional rock instruments. TV sings and plays acoustic guitar on twelve of his finest songs to date\, while Gerry backs him up on harmonium\, mandolin\, bouzouki\, banjo\, piano\, tenor guitar\, bass guitar\, percussion…and much more! Critics are already calling it the best album of his career. \nFiercely independent and proudly embodying the original spirit of punk rock\, TV performs as an acoustic solo artist all over the world\, as well as playing occasional gigs with backup bands. Over the past few years he has supported Stiff Little Fingers\, the Damned and Ruts DC on major tours in the UK\, and played headline tours throughout UK\, Europe\, the U.S.A and Japan. In 2025 he embarked on a world tour taking in 12 countries including the UK\, Germany\, Switzerland\, Finland\, Ireland\, Brazil\, Argentina\, Uruguay and North America. \nTickets are on sale from Seetickets from Thursday 5th March and from local outlets from the 10th March

SUMMARY:Damian Lewis + Lillibet
DESCRIPTION:Damian Lewis + Lillibet \nEsquires\, Bedford\, Saturday 24th October \nDamian Lewis released his acclaimed debut album Mission Creep in 2023\, earning praise for its soulful vocals\, rich instrumentation\, and emotional honesty. Hailed by critics as “beautifully written and performed” (Line Of Best Fit) and “a warm\, rich debut\,” (Financial Times) the record marked him as a genuine new voice in British music and established Lewis as a songwriter with something urgent and real to say. Sweet Chaos is the album that follows from a place of hard-won clarity. Written two years on\, it is bolder\, broader\, and at times more raw. \n“The first album was quiet and tender\,” Lewis says. “This new album is a bit angrier in places. You don’t know these things until you listen back: the extent to which your state of mind pervades the thing.” A BAFTA\, Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor\, Lewis first honed his musical instincts busking across Europe in his youth – an experience that informs the raw authenticity of his work. He quickly proved his strength as a live performer\, winning acclaim for his charismatic stage presence and selling out venues across the UK\, alongside festival appearances including Latitude\, Wilderness\, Black Deer and the EFG London Jazz Festival \nHis music draws from the rich textures of Americana\, blues\, and folk\, with a storyteller’s instinct guiding every lyric. Damian has played the classical guitar since he was 13-years-old. Quickly though\, suspecting that he might be the “Second Elvis\,” he graduated to the steel string acoustic so that he could sing Elvis in the mirror without fear of interruption. Busking in London and continental Europe through his early twenties\, the rent money started coming in from acting and the guitar was parked up as a hobby until the time of CoVid lockdown and quarantine. The busking experience has stayed with Damian ever since and is reflected in his debut album ‘Mission Creep’. His band serve jazz roots with a bluesy sound and the album is described as a thoughtful collection of rootsy\, rock and jazz-tinged songs that reveal a deep love of music and a deep need to communicate. \nTickets on sale now – as of 21 Sept – less than 30 left

SUMMARY:Mozart Estate + The Grubby Mitts
DESCRIPTION:Please note this show has been re-arranged from Sunday the 17th May 2026. Original tickets are still valid.  \nWe are delighted to welcome Mozart Estate to Esquires on Sunday the 25th October 2026.  \nMozart Estate is the current project of one of England’s most singular musical mavericks\, Lawrence\, previously of the hugely influential bands Felt\, Denim and Go-Kart Mozart and the subject of both a movie (‘Lawrence of Belgravia’) and an acclaimed biography (‘Street Level Superstar: A Year with Lawrence’).  \n‘Lawrence is a monument to the power of Pop’ – Jarvis Cocker  \n‘Lawrence is the one true poet of austerity Britain’ – Bobby Gillespie \nPraise for Street Level Superstar:  \nWINNER OF THE 2025 PENDERYN MUSIC BOOK PRIZE\nRough Trade Book of the Year\nUncut Book of the Year\nMojo Book of the Year\nGuardian Book of the Year\nDaily Mail Book of the Year\nFinancial Times Book of the Year\nResident Book of the Year\nTelegraph Book of the Year\nDaily Express Book of the Year \nThe greatest pop star who never ‘made it’\, Lawrence’s previous dreams of glory have been thwarted by a combination of bad luck and self-sabotage\, but could Mozart Estate change all that? A brilliant mix of 70s glam\, wonky synth disco and acerbic lyrics\, their album ’Tower Block in a Jam Jar’ was released last year to universal acclaim.  \n‘Tower Block is easily Lawrence’s best record since 1992’s Back In Denim’ – The Wire  \n‘Lawrence has delivered the best daft/sincere novelty pop album you’ll hear all year. It’s a sugar rush’ – Classic Rock Magazine  \nStill not quite filling stadiums but now selling out venues such as the Lexington and The Trades Club\, we are so excited to welcome Lawrence and his band to Bedford for the very first time.  \nIf that is not enough\, Mozart Estate will be supported by Bedford’s very own pop-art collective\, The Grubby Mitts.  \nTickets are £20 in advance\, available from 10am\, Friday the 3rd of April from Seetickets / Slide Record Shop. In association with Arts Council England a very limited number of tickets are available for just £5 to anyone on a low income or living in relative poverty.

SUMMARY:John Verity Band
DESCRIPTION:John Verity is one of the most consistent performers on the blues rock circuit today\, having honed his craft over more than 60 years on the circuit at every level. \nBorn in West Yorkshire he played in many bands in the area and beyond before moving to Florida. Whilst there he opened for Jimi Hendrix\, Janis Joplin\, Mountain and others\, then on his return to the UK\, taking a somewhat different direction with time as front man with Argent. \nWhen Argent disbanded John spent time primarily in the studio\, producing\, recording\, and guesting with\, among many others\, Ringo Starr\, The Zombies\, Smokie\, Charlie\, Motorhead\, and Saxon. \nHowever. live performance has always been the driving force for JV\, and though he does love studio work it wasn’t long before the need to play live drew him back… \nThese days it’s easy to find John back out on the road with his own band and material\, and experiencing a musical renaissance across the country at a venue near you! \nJohns touring band currently features: – Chris Mansbridge or Paul Burgess on drums and Roger Inniss on bass. \n\n\n\n\n\n“And it would always have been difficult to follow the next act\, the triumphant John Verity Band. Verity is best known for his stint as the frontman of Argent in the 1970s\, but that was only a brief interruption in a 50-year solo career.” \n“You are left under no illusion that you are in the hands of a proper musician and vocalist who would have no problem filling a stadium\, packing out any club and bringing a festival audience to their feet. Go see him!” \nTickets are on sale now from Seetickets

SUMMARY:The Battery Farm + Broken Castles + T.R.A.T.S
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 7th November \nReturning to Esquires after their rousing mosh-starting afternoon set at the Big Special all-dayer in 2026\, this gutter-punk four-piece bring the noise. And the hooks. The Battery Farm formed out of the ashes of The Madding Crowd\, The Corry brothers\, Ben and Dominic\, were at the heart of the band\, but beset by constantly shifting line ups and maybe a sense that the direction the band was heading in didn’t feel quite right\, they swiftly re-emerged as The Battery Farm\, a decision that saw them unleash a very different soundtrack into an unsuspecting world. Whilst elements of The Madding Crowd‘s DNA are still present\, the beast that rose from the remains was a very different one\, a cathartic primal howl that rages against the injustice and inequality in the world\, something that is amplified in their live performances. \n  \nSupport from :- \nBroken Castles who offer a brutal delivery of distorted groove-laden heavy-ass rock n roll. Forged in the fires of a Golden Era. This is music for the Broken Age. \nT.R.A.T.S – Described as indie sleaze meets punk after a night out with a metal band by a drunk bloke. \nTickets on sale now
