SUMMARY:Folly Group + Ebbb
DESCRIPTION:On stage\, Folly Group is the sum of drums\, percussion\, bass\, guitar\, vocals and a sampler. Elsewhere\, Folly Group is an amorphous creative entity\, encompassing a group of friends whose practice spans various disciplines. Its members have all played with each other in various projects over the last three years\, now Folly Group is a way to mess with form\, structure and signifiers. Folly Group attempts to interrogate the job of the band; it’s an allergic reaction to stasis and complacency.

SUMMARY:GENN + Carbon Daydreams + Party Police
DESCRIPTION:Following a series of recent singles\, Anglo-Maltese quartet GENN finally release their debut album\, unum\, into the world. And with the promise of an eclectic mix of styles and sounds this album delivers all of this and a whole lot more.\n\nGENN are a collective sisterhood of like-minded musicians who started out as a band originally in Malta before moving to the UK and finding Brighton as their newly adopted home. As a group with multi-national backgrounds\, covering Maltese\, British\, Jamaican and Portuguese roots\, this has inevitably shaped their experience of working within the music industry and also their sound and style. And this has already shone through in the singles they have released so far with A Reprise (That Girl) and Calypso having previously being featured in Louder Than War.\n\nĠENN are made up of Janelle Borg – guitars\, Sofia Rosa Cooper – drums\, Leona Farrugia – vocals\, and Leanne Zammit – bass. There is no doubt that they are a band with a resolutely independent streak\, demonstrated by them setting up the Liminal Collective through which they continue to release their music. This is a new multi-disciplinary collective that also serves as a space for other creatives to develop and release their art and collaborate with like-minded individuals.\nSupport from Carbon Daydreams & Party Police.

SUMMARY:LENE LOVICH - Full Band Show
DESCRIPTION:LENE LOVICH BIOGRAPHY:\nBorn in Detroit\, Michigan\, on March 30\, 1949\, Lili-Marlene Premilovich\, later known as Lene Lovich\, became one of the most relevant figures of the New Wave and Post Punk movement during the late 1970’s- Lovich moved to England when she was 13 and in 1978 she released her most popular album “Stateless” that produced the hit “Lucky Number”\, her signature song. Side by side with German artist Nina Hagen\, she became one of the earliest female singers to embrace the alternative side of the Punk culture. Lene Lovich remains active\, touring and with several side projects and bands.\nPreceding Lene Lovich’s emergence onto the music scene\, with her 1979 hit new wave single “Lucky Number”\, her existence was already engulfed by her insatiable appetite for the visual and performing arts. In autumn 1968\, with her partner– Les Chappell\, she went to London to attend art school. From there\, Lovich attended several art schools and lingered through the London Underground; she also performed in cabaret clubs as an “Oriental” dancer and journeyed to Spain where she visited Salvador Dalí in his home. She continued to grab at any artistic opportunity that came her way\, such as recording screams for horror films and writing lyrics for French disco star Cerrone (including the sci-fi dance smash “Supernature”\, which Lovich later recorded). She also worked with various theater groups and a few short-lived musical acts\, such as the funk group the Diversions\, and an all-girl cabaret trio the Sensations. Alas\, the new wave music genre disappeared as did Lovich but her distinctive persona continues to prevail as it has impacted several musicians and musical groups\, such as Siouxsie And The Banshees\, Gwen Stefani\, Karen O\, Björk\, PJ Harvey\, and The Dresden Dolls\nHer hit single “New Toy” was written by Thomas Dolby. Dolby penned the song specifically for Lovich\, after seeing her perform live.\nIn 1989\, after an absence of several years\, she recorded the album\, ‘March’ which was only moderately successful and was not released until nearly a year after the album’s single “Wonderland” had been issued and become an American dance hit. Lovich continues to perform in much the same style she did back in the 1970s and 1980s\, with Les Chappell at her side. In 2005 she appeared on Hawkwind’s Take Me to Your Leader CD\, as well as appearing occasionally on stage with them.\nLovich’s first album since March\, entitled ‘Shadows and Dust’ received a limited release on Mike Thorne’s Stereo Society label on September 13\, 2005.\nShe played at the Royal Festival Hall in London for the Meltdown festival\, curated by Yoko Ono. The same year\, she established her own publishing label\, Flex Music\, and released a re-mastered versions of all her previous albums in a limited edition box set. She made a guest appearance with The Dresden Dolls at The Roundhouse which is featured as an extra on their DVD Live at the Roundhouse. and contributed to the opera ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ (1991) by Peter Hammill and Judge Smith\, singing the part of Madeline Usher.\nLene Lovich appeared on Hawkwind’s Take Me to Your Leader CD\, as well as appearing occasionally on stage with them. Lovich’s first album since March\, entitled Shadows and Dust\, received a limited release on the Stereo Society label on 13 September 2005. She played for the first time in many years with a full band at the Drop Dead Festival in 2006.\nIn 2007\, MVD Visual released Lene Lovich: Live from New York\, a DVD featuring a performance Lovich gave at Studio 54 in 1981. In late 2007\, both Lovich and Chappell produced a new edge recording of their hit “Lucky Number”. The version was performed by rock group Eastroad\, and was used by the BBC for its coverage of the 2008 World Snooker Championship.\nIn 2011\, Lovich sang the part of Eurydice in the songstory Orfeas by Judge Smith. In 2013 she sang on the albums Zoot Suit by Judge Smith and Gridlock by Mr Averell.\nIn 2012\, Lovich began performing with a new band comprising Subterraneans frontman Jude Rawlins on guitar\, bassist Lydia Fischer\, keyboard player Kirsten Morrison\, and Morgan King on drums. The band made their live debut at London’s famous 12 Bar Club on 29 October that year. In 2013 the band undertook their first high-profile tour\, concluding with major sell-out shows in London and Berlin\, and was the 5th act to be announced for Rebellion Festival 2013.\nLene Lovich is now working with her current line up and is continuing to play festivals and shows as demand is ever increasing for this much loved iconic performer!\nLene Lovich – Vocals\nStan Greenwood – Guitar\nVal Gwyther – Bass\nMorgan King – Drums\nBlack Marine – Keyboards\n\nTickets from Ticketweb £18 + booking fee

SUMMARY:Flamingods + Max Fulcrum & the Win.
DESCRIPTION:FLAMINGODS bring their explosive\, high-energy show to Bedford Esquires on Thursday the 22nd Feb 2024!   \nA cult favourite on the festival circuit in UK and Europe\, the London quartet have now been crafting their distinctive genre-defying music for over a decade now. Weaving through genres of psychedelia\, new wave\, electronica and punk – often within the same song – is a bit of a specialty for the band\, as is their knack for blending in influences from their unique cultural heritages and love of 70s British rock and roll.  \nWith eight nationalities between the band\, listening to their music is like peeling a massive eclectic onion – it’s diverse because that’s all they know. The classic set up of guitar\, bass and drums is there\, it’s just that the band have flipped it on its head with the addition of fuzzed out Eastern guitars\, percussion stations\, bright vintage synthesisers\, bowed string boxes and powerful vocals echoing throughout. It’s warm\, powerful\, soulful music made to get you moving.  \n‘All hail Flamingods and their psychedelic music for the soul!’ I-D Magazine   \n‘Prepare to be bombarded with bliss… Out of this world music’ The Guardian   \n‘Flamingods’ radical sound opens up the thrillingly unknown’ Dazed  \n‘The best thing I’ve seen in years’ Andrew Weatherall  \n‘Splendidly wonky… I love this band’ Lauren Laverne\, BBC 6 Music \n‘Flamingods are on something of a cultural quest that knows no rules’ Loud & Quiet   \n‘ A little bit of Animal Collective\, a little bit of Soundway’s catalogue\, a little bit of electronic\, tropical\, Vampire Weekendisms. I love this band’ Gilles Peterson   \nTickets are £13.50 in advance. Available NOW from Seetickets and from Slide Records / Esquires Bar.

SUMMARY:THE DOORS ALIVE
DESCRIPTION:  \nTHE DOORS ALIVE \n7:30pm Friday 16th February\, Bedford Esquires \nTHE DOORS ALIVE make a welcome return for their first show in nearly 2 years at Bedford Esquires on Friday 16th February. \nTo call The Doors Alive merely a tribute act would be a huge disservice to what is the closest thing possible to experiencing a Doors concert without the aid of a flux capacitor and 1.21 gigawatts. They are high priests who allow us to worship at the altar of The Doors by continuing the word and gospels of Jim Morrison\, Ray Manzarek\, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore.” – Pure Magazine\, Ireland. \nThe band recreate the sound\, look\, presence and magic of a real 1960’s Doors concert\, perfectly and effortlessly transporting the audience back in time with classic hits such as “Light My Fire”\, “When The Music’s Over”\, “Riders On The Storm”\, “The End” and many more. The Doors Alive have over 1\,000 shows under their belt to date. \nThe Doors Alive formed in 2005. Since then there have been a few changes\, but the current line up is the best it has ever been! \nFrontman Mike Griffioen captures the look\, attitude and rich baritone voice of the late great Jim Morrison with ease while his compadres Barrington Meyer on guitar\, Buzz Allan on drums and Norbert Varga on keyboards showcase the musical chops of original Doors members Robby Krieger\, John Densmore and Ray Manzarek with finesse and authenticity. They take pride in using the exact same vintage equipment to achieve an authentic sound\, including Rhodes Piano Bass\, Gibson G101 organ\, Gibson SG and Ludwig Mod Orange drum kit. They are keen on making every single show unique by authentic improvisations and changing the set regularly so you will never see the same show twice! \nThe Doors Alive have left awestruck audiences in several countries around the world\, including the UK\, Ireland\, Australia\, Denmark\, France\, Belgium\, The Netherlands\, Germany\, Austria\, Poland\, Slovenia\, Malta\, Greece\, Turkey\, Lebanon\, UAE and Chile to name but a few. They repeatedly sell out some of the most well established venues in Europe. They have played at the legendary Isle of Wight Festival and played on the same bill with such legendary musicians as Status Quo\, Canned Heat\, Nazareth\, Uriah Heep\, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band\, Eric Burdon and Kris Kristofferson. In Chile the band played an arena show to 4\,500 Doors fans! In several countries including France and Lebanon the band have been featured on national television. \nPlease check out the band’s website www.thedoorsalive.co.uk for the latest news! \nTickets priced £15 are on sale from Seetickets from Friday 18th August and available in person from Slide Record Shop and Esquires Bar.

SUMMARY:SIMON MUNNERY’S JERUSALEM - TOUR WARM UP SHOW
DESCRIPTION:SIMON MUNNERY’S JERUSALEM – TOUR WARM UP SHOW\n7:30pm Thursday 15th February\, Bedford Esquires\n\nVert pleased to announce Simon Munnery is heading back to Bedford Esquires to warm up for his forthcoming tour.\n\n‘One of the all time great British stand-ups’ (Stewart Lee) performs a truly unique stand-up show. Using William Blake’s poem (B-side to the English national anthem) and The Fall’s take on it as a springboard\, Simon endeavours to serve up satire\, comedy and poetry with one eye on the distant past\, and the other locked laser-like on the future. As he says\, it’s clearly a recipe for disaster\, but what’s wrong with that? Something will come of it and you can call it art.\n\n‘One of the all time great British stand-ups… A must see!!’\nStewart Lee\n\n‘A brilliant and subversive comedian’\nThe Guardian\n\n‘One of the finest gag-writers in the business’\n★★★★★ The List
