SUMMARY:Blender: Beattie\, KC Blackwater\, Burnout\, Daybreak
DESCRIPTION:An absurdly stellar lineup has emerged for the blender autumn Future Sessions\, returning to Esquires on Friday\, September 26. Tickets just £12 in advance for this one\, with demand expected to be high. Don’t dilly dally\, hit the see tickets link below now.\n\n\n\nHailing from MK\, KC Blackwater (AKA Cameron Owden) is a fiercely independent punk force: abrasive and unfiltered with pounding drums and blunt sarcastic vocals. Already 3 EPs in\, it’s only time until KCB breaks through to the next level.\n\n\n\nBeattie is an emerging London-based singer\, songwriter and producer\, making a name for herself in the alt-pop world. Bedford born\, Beattie will be hitting Esquires for her first hometown show. A multi-instrumentalist and genuine DIY artist\, Beattie draws comparisons to Lana Del Ray\, Banks and Radiohead. Her emotive alt-pop and powerful live presence have earned early acclaim\, with the local girl’s fresh voice going down a storm at the recent new music mecca event\, The Great Escape in Brighton.\n\n\n\nBedford’s favourite indie-rock sextet\, Daybreak\, return to the Future Sessions with their tight rhythm section\, atmospheric keys\, dynamic guitar work and emotionally charged vocals. This powerhouse collective are making moves\, fighting for ‘top of the pops’ in the new local bands chart.\n\n\n\nAnd welcome back to Burnout. Not back to the Future Sessions but just back! Burnout last played together live in 2022 but have in the meantime released a full length self-titled album. Hailing from B-Town\, Burnout is the creative experiment of Beau Miller\, Jack Barras and Ned Liley. The trio use layered landscapes\, delicate vocal melodies and yearning lyrics to encapsulate how they perceive modernity as a world determined on burning itself out.

My favorite rompin’ stompin’ New York band of the moment.” Lenny Kaye \n“Masters of arcane blues secrets” Human Being Lawnmower Magazine \n”Music to start a juke joint brawl to” Bibliodiscoteque \nAlways a brilliant night out\, tickets are £17.50 each\, available from 10am Friday the 23rd May from Seetickets. \nIn association with Arts Council England\, a limited number of tickets are available for just £5 for those on a low income or struggling with increases in the costs of living.

We were lucky enough to catch the Welsh band headline a sold out OSLO show earlier this year and can’t wait to bring them to Bedford for the very first time.

SUMMARY:Evil Blizzard + Broken Castles
DESCRIPTION:If you like the throb and the rumble of low-end – its time to get down and (filthy)dirty with Evil Blizzard. Are you evil?\n\n\n\nPreston’s Evil Blizzard are truly an enigma. Four bass players\, a singing drummer. An array of rubber masks that will give both children and adults sleepless nights for days on end – they are the most ingenious and charismatic live experience on the music scene today!\n\n\n\nEvil Blizzard delve into many musical wells. Mixing their musical heritage from early Sabbath\, Dub & krautrock through to more modern and diverse contemporaries such as Hawkwind\, Public Image Limited and Killing Joke (the latter two even personally asking for Evil Blizzard to open for them). It appears that no musical genre is sate from their reach.\n\n\n\nBlizzard have not only won over some very hard-line partisan crowds\, but they have also gone on to conquer such music festivals as Kendal Calling\, Super-sonic\, Rebellion\, The Great British Alternative Music Festival\, Supernormal and The International Festival of Psychedelia in Liverpool.\n\n\n\nTickets up at seetickets.com from Thursday 17th April and available in Slide and Esquires.

SUMMARY:Plateau + JW Paris + Kate Gore & The Screamers + Sloane 
DESCRIPTION:Plateau + JW Paris + Kate Gore & The Screamers + Sloane \n7:30pm\, Sat 6th September\, Bedford Esquires\n\nPlateau are back\, bringing their ‘We couldn’t get much higher’ rock ‘n’ roll show back to Bedford Esquires for a night of pure drama and with a cracking undercard of support bands.\n\n\n\nA circus this is not\, but an electrifying high-octane show of energy and chaos it most certainly is. Plateau sold out Esquires back in February for the release of their first EP\, ‘Strange Ambitions of a Sick Soul’\, and the boys return with a promise of new tunes and more grunge-tinged riffs with psychedelic bursts and hard-rock energy than you can shake a stick at.\n\n\nVery special guests JW Paris make the trip from the capital via Luton. The band had the pleasure of playing the Radio 1 Big Weekend in their hometown last summer and haven’t looked back since. Brothers Aaron and Danny are joined by former Babyshambles skinswoman\, Gemma Clarke\, together combining grunge\, Britpop\, post-punk and alt-rock influences. But make no mistake\, this is “rock ‘n’ roll”!\n\n\n\nWe welcome back Bedford’s very own Kate Gore and The Screamers\, riding high on local buzz\, since their Esquires Future Sessions slot in May.\n\n\nSloane\, a four-piece based in London with Bedford connections\, will be jumping on the BedPan line for their debut Esquires show. Sloane taps into classic indie-rock energy with modern flair\, forging a fun and compelling live reputation marking them out as ones to watch on London’s indie circuit.\n\n\n\nTickets £10 in advance from See.

SUMMARY:THE MEFFS + Split Dogs + Nose Ghost
DESCRIPTION:THE MEFFS + Split Dogs + Nose Ghost\n7:30pm\, Friday 5th September\, Bedford Esquires\n\nSince exploding onto the UK scene in 2019\, The Meffs have built up a reputation as purveyors o frantic punk rock and an absolute must-see live sensation. The band challenges the norm with important messages about equality and society\, over a barrage of hard-hitting riffs that get stuck in your head for days.\n\n\n2022 saw the band’s debut Frank Turner-produced EPs released on Bottles to the Ground\, the new label founded by Fat Mike of NOFX/Fat Wreck Chords. The EPs\, appropriately named ‘Broken Britain’ Part.1 & 2′\, gained significant interest from both new and original fans\, as shown at their first headline tour across England\, Scotland & Wales.\n\n\nIn the summer of 2023 The Meffs joined NOFX on three of their final dates\, which saw them play to their biggest crowds to date… Until Download 2023! They played Download’s 20th anniversary to chant of “Up The Meffs\, Up The Meffs”\, for countless fans who sang\, crowd-surfed\, and kicked up dust\, with reviews naming The Meffs as one of the best bands of the festival. Shortly after\, the band returned to Rebellion Festival 2023 and rumour has it that the Meffs had the biggest turn out for a main stage opener in its time as a festival.\n\n\nAfter a summer like this it was only right for the band to head off around the UK for a winter head- line tour. This time they played 21 shows in sold out venues throughout November 2023\, followed by a European tour of ten support shows and ten sold out headline shows. The growth has been staggering over such a short period. So what’s next? A new album out September 2024\, non-stop touring and a new era of The Meffs.\n\n\nBritpunk. The Meffs created it. Remember the name!\n\nSupport from Split Dogs & Ghost Nose\, get down early !\n\nTicket priced £15 are on sale from Seetickets\, Slide Record Shop and Esquires Bar.

SUMMARY:The Smyths present 'Meat is Murder 40th anniversary' plus more...
DESCRIPTION:Following their previous sell out appearances at Bedford Esquires\, The Smyths will return to Bedford Esquires in August 2025. \nMore than a mere tribute band\, The Smyths are a joyous celebration of arguably the greatest band of all time.

To celebrate this anniversary\, The Smyths will be playing tracks from this record\, as well as all the hits and deep cuts you would expect. \nThis show invariably sells out in advance and we are always grateful when The Smyths agree to come ‘back to the old house’. Tickets available from 10am Friday the 29th of November from Seetickets and would make a great Christmas present for that Smiths obsessive in your life (we’ve all got one…)  \nIn association with Arts Council England a limited number of tickets will be available for just £5 to those on a low income or struggling with increases in the cost of living.  \n*Yes\, we know ‘How Soon is Now’ was only added to the US release and subsequent CD versions of the album!

SUMMARY:Sambroso All Stars perform The Buena Vista
DESCRIPTION:Sambroso All Stars\nBank Holiday Sunday 24 August\n\nIs there a more iconic Cuban album than Buena Vista Social Club’s eponymous debut? Winning the Grammy for Best Traditional Tropical Latin Album\, it remains a high watermark not just for Cuban music but world music as a whole\, having been only one of two non-English speaking albums to be included in Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest albums of all time list.\n\nDoing this album any sort of justice is no easy task\, but there isn’t anyone better than Sambroso Noda\, the beating heart of London’s Cuban community and flourishing music scene. He has whipped up a bonafide ‘all star’ group of Cuban musicians who will pay their own unique and loving tribute to the landmark album.\n\nThe 7-piece all star band promise to mesmerise the crowd with their combination of Cuban Son\, Latin Jazz and Rumba\, from Cuba’s Golden era.\n\nTickets on sale 2 April at 10am\, available from See\, Esquires & Slide.
