SUMMARY:Popes of Chillitown\, Easydread\, The Baracutas\, Eat The Evidence
DESCRIPTION:Popes of Chillitown + easydread + The Baracutas + Eat The Evidence \n8pm\, Friday 13th April\, Bedford Esquires \nAbsolutely massive line Ska-Punk line up coming to Esquires on April 13th! \nWith 2 shows under their belt at Bedford Esquires\, a headline show and a very special guest support to Neville Staple earlier in 2017 we thought it was about time Popes Of Chillitown made a return visit to the venue. \n“More infectious than Ebola\, it is almost impossible not to want to ******\, jump\, shake or wiggle when you listen to these guys.” \n“The sharpest\, tightest Ska sound we have ever had on the show” – Tom Robinson BBC6 \nPOPES OF CHILLITOWN are a Ska/Dub/Punk band from London\, who have been rampaging through the UK scene for the last few years like an unstoppable grooving\, skanking juggernaut. A straight-up ska-punk band they are not\, expertly mashing the energy of upbeat ska\, punk\, 2-tone and drum & bass with the groove of reggae and dub\, adding in the lyrical flow of hip hop and finishing it all off with a generous helping of catchy melodies and hooks. The result has been likened to artists such as Capdown\, Skindred\, The Beat\, The Police and Jamie T. \nAfter releasing their pledge-funded debut album ‘A Word To The Wise’ in 2013\, the band have had a relentless touring schedule across the UK and into Europe\, seeing them play banging headline shows\, festivals and support slots with the likes of Reel Big Fish\, The Selecter\, The Skints\, Imperial Leisure\, [Spunge]\, Mouthwash\, The Snare and many more. \nMay 2015 saw them release their sophomore album ‘To The Moon’\, an explosive tour-de-force of groove and energy with a lifetime’s worth of lyrical hooks\, melodies and basslines.  \n“If you’re looking for a band who play the kind of ska punk that’s infused with a variety of styles and influences like Capdown and The King Blues were so great at\, then get this second album from Popes Of Chillitown.” – Big Cheese (8/10) \n———————- \nTickets priced £7 are on sale now online from Seetickets and can be picked up in person from Esquires Bar\, Slide Record Store & Mario’s Hair Design booking fee free (cash only) from the 27th November.

SUMMARY:The Blockheads / The Reformers / Saturday 24th March
DESCRIPTION:THE PAD PRESENTS\nhttp://www.thepadpresents.com \nTHE BLOCKHEADS + The Reformers \nWe are very pleased to be bringing living legends The Blockheads back to our main stage for the first time in two years on Saturday 24th march\, having been the first band to grace the venue since it changed hands in February 2016. \nFormed in 1977 to promote Ian Dury’s album New Boots and Panties on the first Stiff Records tour of the UK. \nThe Blockheads are now fronted by one of Ian’s best friends Derek ‘The Draw’\, the band’s vocalist and wordsmith. Chaz Jankel\, Norman Watt-Roy\, John Turnbull and Mick Gallagher still remain from the original band and the current line-up is augmented by John Roberts on drums and a rolling line up of saxophonists including Gilad Atzmon\, Terry Edwards or Dave Lewis. \nThese legendary Brit-Funkers will be playing all the old favourites and new material. \nIn 1978 Chaz composed ‘Hit me with your Rhythm Stick’ with Ian and in 1979 had a number one hit record. \nIn 1982 Ian Dury & The Blockheads disbanded and were not to play together again until 1987 when they went out to Japan to play three shows\, disbanding again until 1990 when the death of Charlie Charles in September of that year re-united them to play two Benefit gigs at The Forum\, Camden Town in aid of Charlie’s family. \nThe last performance by Ian Dury & The Blockheads was February 6th 2000 at The London Palladium. \nIan died at 9am on 27th March 2000. \nAt this point the band had to make a decision to either stop or continue. The choice was made and the band has continued making albums and touring the world. \nNow after almost 15 years since Ian passed away\, The Blockheads still perform to packed out venues around the world. \nSupport on the night comes from the very excellent The Reformers – These guys blew the crowd away supporting Dr Feelgood on the main stage in 2017 and guarantee to get the crowd going. \n//////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \nTickets are £20adv on sale now from:\nhttp://www.seetickets.com/event/the-blockheads/bedford-esquires/1140721 \nOn sale from Monday 4th September from:\nEsquires bar\nSlide Record Shop\nMarios Hair Kempston

SUMMARY:The Wave Pictures + The Grubby Mitts
DESCRIPTION:After nearly 20 years and umpteen albums (is it 16? 17? 18?)  we are excited to confirm someone is finally bringing The Wave Pictures to Bedford Esquires.  \nFormed in 1998 in the tiny rural village of Wymeswold in northern Leicestershire\,  lead singer and guitarist David Tattersall\, bassist Franic Rozycki\, and drummer Jonny “Huddersfield” Helm were heavily influenced by both the music played by John Peel and their parents classic rock collections. They soon relocated to London\, signed to Moshi Moshi records and have released a succession of highly acclaimed albums (as well as finding time to collaborate with acts such as Darren Hayman\, Herman Dune\, The Mountain Goats\, Jeffrey Lewis and Stanley Brinks)  \nMuch loved by 6 Music\, The Wave Pictures are scarily prolific with a formidable discography. Frontman Tattersall is both a brilliant songwriter and guitarist\, often compared to Tom Verlaine (Television)\, Jonathan Richman and Johnny Marr.  \n“David Tattersall is the greatest guitarist of his generation” – Marc Riley\, BBC Radio 6 \nWith a career that now spans two decades\, The Wave Pictures are much more than a cult concern. The regularly sell out venues like The Lexington (London) and The Portland Arms (Cambridge) and headline stages at Festivals like Indietracks\, End of the Road\, Green Man and Primavera Sound (Barcelona). Yet for some reason\, they have never played Bedford. Until now.  \n“They’re possibly the best live band we’ve ever worked with” – Moshi Moshi Records \nTickets are £10 in advance\, available from all the usual places.  \nSupport comes from Bedford’s own art house collective\, The Grubby Mitts with their found sounds and wonky electronica.

SUMMARY:Catholic Action + Victoria Rose & Guests
DESCRIPTION:Hot new band Catholic Action make a welcome return to Bedford Esquires after a brilliant performance in Holy Moly’s earlier this year.  \nA product of Glasgow’s famously fertile music scene\, Catholic Action are proof that they do indeed write them like that anymore. Big tunes and massive melodies\, this is a band for fans of indie heavyweights like Arctic Monkeys\, Franz Ferdinand\, The Strokes and Belle and Sebastian.  \nTheir ace album ‘In Memory Of’ is one of the most self assured debuts you’ll hear all year. Jam packed with glam guitar solos and huge choruses\, it’s 11 tracks so good that the band took the bold choice of omitting breakout single ‘Rita Ora’ from it.  \nLead singer Chris McCrory said “In Memory Of has been a long time coming for us\, and it wouldn’t have happened were it not for you. It’s a record we’re incredibly proud of and we hope you are too. So\, we’re thrilled to be heading out on a headline tour of the UK to perform tracks from In Memory Of and more for the people that made it happen. Thank you! And see you in March”. \nTickets are £7 in advance\, available now from all the usual places.
