SUMMARY:The Molotovs
DESCRIPTION:The Molotovs have become one of the UK’s hottest young bands. Sharp\, punchy anthems delivered with highly charged stagecraft that leaves absolutely nothing in the dressing room and resonates with an eclectic audience of those in the know. Comprising of siblings Mathew (Vocals/guitar) and Issey Carts (bass/vocals) and joined by explosive drummer Harry\, the Molotovs effortlessly mix their setlists up from their own self-penned material with a few well-chosen covers\, and play with a passion and drive that more than backs up their claim that “nothing gets left in the dressing room”. \nStill in their teens\, they’ve been handpicked by the likes of The Sex Pistols\, Blondie\, The Libertines and Adam Ant to share the stage\, and have been championed by Green Day both on stage and in press. \nJoin The Molotovs this spring on their UK headline tour. Get your tickets while you can. Teenage kicks so hard to beat! \nTickets priced £12 in advance are on sale from Seetickets and in person from Slide Record Shop & Esquires.

Last seen in town battling the council noise pollution overlords on The River Festival main stage\, now is your chance to come and see a proper Henge show in all its glory!\nAttention Humans!

It is energetic\, subversive and invigoratingly playful\, jovially breaking new ground. Ultimately\, these intrepid creatures are spreading a message of hope which leaves audiences feeling amused and uplifted in equal measures.\n——\nTickets are on sale now from Seetickets and local outlets – Doors 7.30pm

SUMMARY:Dub Pistols
DESCRIPTION:DUB PISTOLS + Guests \n7:30pm Saturday 22nd March\, Bedford Esquires \nWe can’t believe it will be 4 years since DUB PISTOLS played Bedford Esquires so we are putting that right with a show as part of our 35th Anniversary celebrations. \nThe Dubs may have had an easier ride of it if they’d been a cartoon band like Gorillaz. There wouldn’t have been assorted band member casualties along the way\, for starters\, as life on the road took its toll. The multi-cultural collective has involved dozens of artists and musicians over the years — some remaining for years\, a few for the duration\, and others just popping in for a guest appearance. Their sound has accordingly morphed a variety of times since their inception: taking in dub\, punk\, jungle\, ska\, breakbeat\, hip-hop and a whole lot more\, it’s been a long road travelled. \nTickets priced £20 are on sale from Seetickets from 10am on Weds 27th November from Seetickets\, Slide Record Shop and Esquires Bar.

SUMMARY:ANTARCTIC MONKEYS
DESCRIPTION:The Craufurd Arms (Live Music Venue) Presents…..\nFRIDAY 14th MARCH 2025\nANTARCTIC MONKEYS+ Special Guests\nMeet the Antarctic Monkeys… The longest serving and without doubt\, the BEST tribute and the UK’s Number One band to the Arctic Monkeys bar none!​Originally formed in 2001\, the band performed original songs under the band names of ‘The Ryde’ and then ‘The Empires’ in and around the West Midlands. Looking to build more of a following the lads came upon the idea of performing as a covers band and using their original band to support themselves to play to larger audiences.​This idea coincided with the release of Arctic Monkeys debut album ‘Whatever People Say I Am\, That’s What I’m Not’ and following a jamming session of ‘ I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor’\, the Antarctic Monkeys were formed!​Since that day the band has gone from strength to strength and never looked back. Headlining the Biggest Tribute festivals\, achieving their very own annual tour of the O2 Academy venues nationwide as well as touring internationally in Ireland\, Austria\, Belgium\, Holland\, Dubai\, Sicily and most recently a country wide tour of Australia. With sold out shows becoming a common occurrence\, the demand for the Antarctic Monkeys is now greater than ever!​With their impeccable attention to detail\, their passion for delivering an authentic Arctic Monkeys experience\, and a set list that has something for everybody\, Antarctic Monkeys are the original and most experienced band in their field of mimicking Turner\, Helders\, Cookie and O’Malley perfectly!\nDo not accept any other imitation of Arctic Monkeys.

SUMMARY:Tony Wright (Terrorvision) + Guests
DESCRIPTION:Tony Wright (Terrorvision) + Guests  \n7:30pm Thursday 13th March\, Bedford Esquires \nTony Wright is best known as the singer for Bradford rock band Terrorvision. However\, when he’s not touring with Terrorvision\, he writes\, records and tours under his own name with a setlist made up of songs he has written on his acoustic guitar – some upbeat\, some melancholic\, but all thought-provoking. \nTo say Tony is a busy man would be an understatement. In addition to his three albums with his post-Terrorvision band ‘LaikaDog’\, he has now released three solo albums to date. ‘Thoughts ’n’ All’ is just Tony and his acoustic guitar. The follow up\, ‘Walnut Dash’\, brought the evolution of Tony with his acoustic guitar and a full band. The latest ‘The Anti Album’ is set to be his most ambitious album yet. The album takes influence from his previous works whilst managing to carve out its own place in Tony’s respectable discography. \nTony always looks to pick up inspiration anywhere he can find it as he is always thinking about writing new material. Be sure to catch him on the road because you never know – you might just end up being the subject of one of his songs. \nTickets priced £15 are on sale from 10am on Sunday 1st December at 10am.

The band toured the world\, touring with such artists as David Bowie\, The Police\, REM\, The Clash\, The Talking Heads\, The Pretenders\, and The Specials\, to name but a few.\n\nThe Beat kept scoring hits with tunes that have now become so popular that it’s hard to remember a time when they didn’t exist\, such as Mirror in the Bathroom\, Hands Off… She’s Mine\, Too Nice To Talk To\, Save it for Later\, I Confess\, Stand Down Margaret\, and their serene cover of Andy William’s Can’t Get Used To Losing You.\n\nThe Beat featuring Ranking Jnr continue to perform all the classic hits in their dynamic live shows.\n\nTickets priced £27.50 are sale from Seetickets online from Weds 30th October and available in person from Slide Record Shop and Esquires Bar (booking fee free)

SUMMARY:Snapped Ankles + Guests
DESCRIPTION:The Pad Presents… \nSnapped Ankles + Guests \n7:30pm\, Weds 5th March\, Bedford Esquires \nWe are very pleased to announce the debut show at Bedford Esquires of Post Punk\, Performance and Art Rockers Snapped Ankles. \nSigning to the Leaf Record label in 2017 the band have released four albums\, two EPs and numerous singles to date. The band members’ identities are unknown\, due to the fact that the group performs in Ghillie Suits\, but they claim to be “forest folk…descended from the trees \nNow settled in fertile east London\, Snapped Ankles maintain the feral energy of the forest. Fight or flight. Primal motorik rhythms\, the rush of white noise and post-punk angles; an aural onslaught played out on homemade log synths\, electrified guitars and sticks beating hell on taut animal skin. \nSnapped Ankles have flourished in the sub-tropical climes of warehouse and squat parties\, moving onto performance art collaborations with filmmakers and shows in unlikely locations such as barber shops\, games arcades and the forests they once called home. They plough a singular furrow at improbable angles. The woodwose have discovered electricity and they’re not afraid to use it. \nTickets priced £15 are on sale from Seetickets and the local outlets of Esquires Bar and Slide Record Shop.

SUMMARY:Andy Bell (Ride / Oasis) Pinball Wanderer acoustic show + James Chapman (Maps) DJ set.
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to announce that Andy Bell (Ride / Oasis) will be playing a special acoustic show at Esquires on Sunday the 2nd of March 2025 in support of his new solo album ‘Pinball Wanderer’\, which is released via Sonic Cathedral on the 28th of February. \nThe album is a collection of eight songs that marks the start of a new sonic chapter for Andy. While his two previous solo releases (2020’s The View From Halfway Down and Flicker from 2022) were based on material he had been accruing since the 1990s\, this one is entirely new and it’s a mix of psychedelic melodies – Can via Stone Roses grooves. \nWe’ve heard it already\, and it’s brilliant! \nThe lead single is a quite stunning cover of The Passions ‘I’m in Love with a German Film Star’ featuring Dot Allison (One Dove / Massive Attack) and Michael Rother (Neu!) \nYou can pick up a ticket along with pre-ordering a copy of the album from Slide Record Shop now!
