SUMMARY:Fake Turins & Human Music ***EVENT CANCELLED***
DESCRIPTION:North London outfit Fake Turins explore the psychedelic strut of New York City in the 70’s\, using their strength in numbers to provide an immersive experience\, the 11-piece unit explore noise\, disco and funk through an unrelenting groove.\nFake Turins have been tipped across the board by press\, summed up by So Young Magazine as\, “lyrically subversive yet audibly untouchable”\, with DIY noting their “cyclical\, propulsive dancefloor groove”\, and by CLASH as\, “a truly multi-faceted piece of music [that] feels like the entry point into Fake Turins’ extraordinary world.” Radio support from Steve Lamacq (BBC 6Music)\, Gemma Bradley (BBC Radio 1)\, John Kennedy (Radio X) and Amazing Radio on both sides of the Atlantic has seen the band’s stock rise.\nThe band were longlisted for Glastonbury Emerging Talent\, played their first two festivals abroad in Left Of The Dial and Klomppop and released a string of well-received singles and their debut EP entitled ‘Time Flowers Now’ – a remix EP followed with a stand out mix by Leo Zero of live favourite ‘Down!’.\n\nFollowing three back-to-back sold out London headline shows\, including a 350 cap warehouse show at Electrowerkz\, the band will embark on their first UK headline tour in 2022 alongside festival slots at This Must Be The Place\, Manchester Psych Fest\, Float Along\, and Rockaway Beach.

SUMMARY:HENGE
DESCRIPTION:HENGE – Live at Bedford Esquires – Friday 4th November\n\nAttention Humans! This is HENGE.\nWe are not from this world.\nWe bring you music from distant planets.\n\nWe offer this gift for the edification of humankind… so that eventually your species may put an end to war and set up new homes in space.\nExtra-terrestrial joymongers – HENGE – have been delighting audiences in the UK and Europe since they landed on Planet Earth seven years ago. Their scintillating live performances earned them ‘Best Live Act’ at the Independent Festival Awards and they have since cemented their reputation with two acclaimed albums\, numerous tours and regular main-stage festival appearances.\n\nTheir music escapes definition\, but occupies a space between rave and prog rock that nobody knew existed. It is energetic\, subversive and invigoratingly playful\, jovially going ‘where no one has gone before’. Ultimately\, HENGE are spreading a message of hope which leaves audiences feeling amused and uplifted in equal measures.\n\nTickets are on sale now priced £14 from Seetickets and in person from Slide Record Store and Esquires bar from the 27th May

SUMMARY:COURTING + Guests
DESCRIPTION:COURTING + Guests\n8pm\, Friday 21st October\, Bedford Esquires \nLiverpool four-piece Courting return with a new single titled “Tennis”. \nThe track comes alongside the announcement that the band have signed to [PIAS]\, as well as details of a new run of UK tour dates which are set to take place in Sept / Oct 2022. \nThe new single comes on the heels of the band’s 2021 EP “Grand National”\, which saw them earn plaudits across a wide array of media including landing two singles on the BBC Radio 6 Music Playlist (including an A list)\, as well as coverage in multiple end of year lists including NME 100\, Dork Hype List 2022\, Daily Star Ones To Watch 2021 & DIY Hello 2021\, and further coverage across The Needle Drop\, CRACK\, Dork\, DIY NME\, CLASH\, and London Evening Standard. \n“Tennis” is a first-taste of Courting’s latest musical evolution. Produced by double GRAMMY nominated producer James Dring (Gorillaz\, Jamie T\, Sorry\, Lana Del Rey\, Blur\, Loyle Carner)\, the new single still conveys that same sardonic and whip-smart commentary that has seen them earn swathes of fans and acclaim\, but also finds them exploring a more dynamically expressive than ever before. Built around playful\, angular guitars and driving basslines\, “Tennis” is smattered with electronically manipulated idiosyncrasies\, which occasionally erupt into moments of cacophony\, before breaking through to the songs hook-driven chorus. The instrumentation accompanies frontman Sean Murphy-O’Neill’s incisive vocals which flit between considered and restrained monologuing\, and explosive and acerbic singing\, alongside uplifting\, harmonised backing vocals. The new single is a marked step in a new direction for Courting\, which only stands to accentuate their propensity for captivating and melodic songwriting. \nSpeaking about the single\, the band says\, “Tennis is a paypig’s personal redemption narrative\, set in “the city”\, and told in two parts. A twisted tale of two lovers’ back and forth\, bound by cricket\, bodybuilding\, and money. A story as old as time. We named the song Tennis as a logical (but unrelated) sequel to our two previously released sports-related songs. To us\, this felt like a natural ending to that idea. Dynamically\, the second part of the song is supposed to represent a shift in tone for the character in which they realise their own worth and leave the situation that is set within the first part of the song.” \nTickets priced £10 are on sale from Seetickets and in person from Esquires Bar and Slide Record Store \n“Keep heading straight towards the chaos\, please.” – Dork ★★★★★ \n“Really raw\, really energetic. Fantastic!” – The Needle Drop \n“Thrilling guitar music of the now\, driven home in truly chaotic fashion.” – NME \n“Set to be the next big thing.” – DIY “ \n”A relentlessly off piste indie belter” – CLASH \n“Some of their most ambitious writing” – FLOOD \n“witty writing that takes itself seriously without being pretentious” – London ES

SUMMARY:Actors + guests
DESCRIPTION:Actors + guests – Friday 21st October \nFrom Vancouver\, Canada\, ACTORS electrify with a modern take on post-punk. On debut full-length It Will Come to You\, anthemic songs evoke the urgency of early-80’s U2 (Boy\, October\, War) as well as the driving\, synth drenched scores that emanated from the era’s movie screens. As scene authority Post-Punk.com puts it\, the band conjures “cinematic new-wave… that belongs on a Michael Mann soundtrack.” \n  \nFrontman Jason Corbett’s rich vocals command with all the passion of a young Bono and the coolness of Peter Murphy. Songs like “L’appel du Vide\,” “Slaves\,” “Face Meets Glass\,” and “Bury Me” are bangers that glisten via Corbett’s production job: slamming beats propel warm layers of synth\, guitar\, and vocals. Corbett writes\, produces\, mixes\, and masters all ACTORS music at his own Vancouver studio\, Jacknife Sound. \n  \nCorbett names David Bowie as a fundamental influence – Bowie’s sense of confidence and creativity are in full effect on It Will Come to You. But much more than a “retro” act\, this is music that stands all on its own\, full of life and unforgettable hooks. Perhaps best described as a “post-post-punk” band\, ACTORS belongs in the discussion alongside bands of today like The Soft Moon and Cold Cave who are pushing music forward via a deep knowledge of the past. \n  \nACTORS has toured in the USA\, Canada\, and Europe\, and performed at Terminus Festival 2017\, 2018 (Calgary)\, Out From the Shadows Festival 2018 (Portland)\, and Wave-Gotik-Treffen 2018 (Leipzig)\, with upcoming festival appearances at Infest 2018 (Manchester)\, A Murder of Crows 2018 (Brooklyn)\, and Cold Waves 2018 (NYC\, Chicago\, and Los Angeles). \n  \n“Vancouver’s brilliant post-punk and new-wave quartet ACTORS continue their flair for sonic cinematics in the video for their latest track ‘Face Meets Glass’… The atmosphere quivers with singer Jason Corbett’s crooning reverb augmented by shivering guitars and stark synths.” \n— POST-PUNK.COM

SUMMARY:Daddy Long Legs + Guests
DESCRIPTION:WE LOVE ‘EM\, YOU LOVE ‘EM. So we’re all thrilled they’re coming back and now as a FOUR-PIECE. If you’ve caught them live with us before\, lock the date in your diary\, if not – become a believer. A show that always delivers.\n\n“…like Chicago blues fired at the moon\, played by the demented children of the Pretty Things.” Rolling Stone\n\n“DADDY LONG LEGS takes the blues and turns them inside out\, upside down\, round about and renews their primal energy. My favorite rompin’ stompin’ New York band of the moment.” Lenny Kaye\n\n“Masters of arcane blues secrets” Human Being Lawnmower Magazine\n\n”Music to start a juke joint brawl to” Bibliodiscoteque\n\n”Pull-the-chord-and-let-the-snot-fly-blues” Relix Magazine\n\n”these drunken cowboys with fuzzy mics and rip-roaring harmonica solos are the most authentic band you’ve seen all week.” Esquire\n\nDaddy Long Legs – New York City’s most explosive Rhythm & Blues street gang aren’t back\, they never left. In dark times they continue to shine their light everywhere they go leaving a piece of themselves on stage every night because it’s in them and it’s got to come out. Now the boys make their highly anticipated post pandemic return to the UK + EU in October and unveil their new killer 4 piece format with Dave Klein on Piano who joins the original lineup of Brian Hurd (Lead Vocals/Blues Harp) Murat Aktürk (Guitars/Vocals) and Josh Styles (Drums/Maracas).\n\nIt’s been 2 1/2 long years since the boys toured the UK + EU playing their last gig in Dublin just hours before the lockdown officially kicked in. In the meantime the Brooklyn 4 piece have cooked up a new album to follow up the genre defying “Lowdown Ways” released on Yep Roc Records in 2019. Stay tuned for details on the new release coming early next year.

SUMMARY:HONEYGLAZE + Car Boot Sale + Low Girl  ***Event postponed***
DESCRIPTION:***This event has been been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. Refunds available from point of sale*** \nFirst impressions count; and sometimes the ones that last the longest\, are the ones that appear out of the unexpected as opposed to the linearly pre-imagined. Against all odds\, for Honeyglaze\, all it took was a thirty-minute live-session recorded in the garage of their close pal Fran for ‘FarmFest 2020’\, (an event which had the world been in better health\, would’ve been held in the fields of a Catholic Workers Farm)\, for everything they once knew to change. \nPricking the ears of seminal producer Dan Carey and his team of merry taste-makers: Speedy Wunderground (Tiña\, Squid\, Black Country New Road)\, initial brainstorms saw the now-newly formed allegiance attempt to recreate the infamous ‘FarmFest’ live session\, in album form. However\, as is often the case in life\, ideas fluctuated with time and synchronised brain-spark\, and so the Speedy Wunderground / Honeyglaze partnership would manifest into a dynamic that\, despite not having met prior\, quite simply\, just worked.\nIn all it took two months’ of rehearsals\, and all-but three days’ worth of studio time to finish and record live\, the eleven tracks that would come to not only be Honeyglaze’s debut album\, and\, the sophomore full-length on Speedy Wunderground\, but also the trio’s first “real” offering to date. \nTackling themes varying from jealousy to inadequacy\, cushion-y companionships to the smell of coffee on clothes\, as with all good reflections of self\, Honeyglaze is a fly on the wall opportunity to get to know three familial strangers in your own way- whilst they too suss out themselves\, and the ever-growing circle around them\, in the span of 35 minutes. \nAs for what remains\, be it performing to a rammed crowd at Brecon Beacons ‘Green Man’ festival back in August\, or playing at the iconic ‘100 Club’ for Fred Perry’s ‘All Our Tomorrow’s Festival’\, it’s safe to say that Honeyglaze are well and truly embodying the concept of ‘one’s to watch’. \nIn their own words: “Hi we are Honeyglaze\, and there’s no time to explain.”

SUMMARY:Dreadzone
DESCRIPTION:Please note new date. Original tickets remain valid  \nDREADZONE + guests\nLive at Bedford Esquires\n\nFast approaching their 30th anniversary\, Dreadzone are an unstoppable force who have long been\, and still are\, one of the best live bands around with a loyal and ever growing fanbase due in part to their storming and energetic live shows.\n\n\nThey are selling out venues this Autumn as their fans delight in their return to the road. New dates are already being announced for 2022 for the 5 piece who are focussed on the electronic and dub elements of their stage show – a sound they developed in earlier years of Dreadzone. The core members Greg Dread and original bassmaster Leo Williams plus the unmistakable MC Spee and legendary reggae vocalist Earl 16 alongside Bazil on technology make up the current Dreadzone live line up.\nDreadzone have been releasing albums and progressively bettering\, refining and perfecting their own unique and inimitable take on dub since their inception in 1993. Dreadzone opened the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury in 1994 and began to bring their unique blend of electro\, dub and reggae to a wider audience\, going on to chart several singles including their Top 20 hit ‘Little Britain’.\n\n\nTheir last studio album ‘Dread Times’\, released on their own Dubwiser label\, stormed into the Top 40 UK Official Album Charts on release – the first time the band have charted in over 20 years. ‘Dreadzone presents: Dubwiser Volume One’ followed and then through the pandemic and lockdown Dubwiser released a remastered version of Dreadzone’s 2005 album ‘Once Upon A Time’ and then ‘Dreadone: Rare Mixes Vol 1’ which features forgotten Dreadzone gems taken from obscure compilations and DAT tapes remastered for 2020. The compilation of these hard-to-get tracks was released on Double Orange Vinyl for Record Store Day Drop 2 in July 2021.\n\n\n“A feast of bass heavy dubwise danceability” Clash\nwww.dreadzone.com | www.facebook.com/dreadzone\nTickets priced £22.50 can be bought online from Seetickets or picked up in person from Esquires Bar / Slide Record Store.

SUMMARY:The Lottery Winners + Little Quirks + Sarpa Salpa SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:The Lottery Winners + Guests \n7.30pm\, Thursday 13th October \nBorn in Salford and raised on romance\, The Lottery Winners blend momentous guitar pop melodies with a humorous and wistful lyricism. The band has built an extensive and loyal fanbase through consistent touring\, earning a reputation for hugely entertaining\, blisteringly loud live shows. \nIn 2020 the Lottery Winners truly bloomed\, with their debut album entering the Official Charts at #10 and #3 in the vinyl chart on the day lockdown was announced. Literally living in a bubble the band worked day and night on creative projects\, writing and recording a wealth of new music\, collaborating with Frank Turner\, Sleeper\, the Wonder Stuff and even (bizarrely) Nickelback. Penning songs like ‘Start Again’\, ‘An Open Letter to Creatives’\, and the ‘The Days Keep Passing Me By’\, the band have created a legacy that is a real timestamp and saw them gain over 10 million streams on Spotify. They even made their own TV show with an impressive line-up of celebrity guests. \nAfter being discovered by music industry legend Seymour Stein (who famously signed Madonna\, The Ramones\, Talking Heads and many more\,) Lottery Winners have spent the last two years recording tracks for their debut album….a complete labour of love\, with a longer than planned delay due to the well-trodden path of record label disputes and the lengthy process of taking back control. The album was produced by Tristem Ivemy (Frank Turner\, The Holloways\, Beans On Toast) and mastered at Abbey Road. Starting in the pubs and working men’s clubs of Lancashire (including the legendary Phoenix Nights) this fierce foursome has truly grafted to reap the rewards. Lottery Winners is made of real flesh and bones. It’s made of working-class Britain. It’s made of self-deprecation\, dire deprivation and true dedication. Their live shows explode from the stage and stay in the minds of the audience\, buried in there forever. They always come back. This is your new favourite band\, whether you know it yet or not. \nIn 2021 the band\, freed from their cages\, released a string of radio singles\, and playing sold out shows and main-stages of festivals all over the world\, including a sell out O2 Ritz in Manchester\, and special shows with a full orchestra. Their sophomore album reached an impressive #11 in the Official UK\, and number #2 in the UK Official Independent Charts. \nGet up and start again. \nTickets are on general sale from Fri 5th August from Seetickets at 10am on Friday priced £14 \nGuest support TBC

(again) Very pleased to announce we are bringing The Skids back to Bedford again following their packed show at the Bedford Corn Exchange in 2018 this time in the more intimate surroundings of Bedford Esquires. \nThe Skids formed in 1977 in their home town of Dunfermline\, Scotland by Richard Jobson\, Stuart Adamson\, Bill Simpson & Tom Kellichan. After releasing an independent single the band were played by John Peel\, supported The Clash in concert and then were signed to Virgin Records in 1978. Their first singles were “Sweet Surburbia”\, “The Saints are Coming” and “Into the Valley” – the latter reaching the UK Top Ten in early 1979. \nTheir seminal debut album “Scared to Dance” came out in 1979 which was quickly followed by two chart singles – “Masquerade” and “Working for the Yankee Dollar”. Both singles were taken from the Bill Nelson produced second album “Days in Europa”. The album also featured new member Rusty Egan of Rich Kids & Visage fame after the departure of Tom Kellichan. The band released two more albums “The Absolute Game” (1980) and “Joy” (1981) before splitting. \nDue to the size of Esquires and the fact the band usually play bigger venues we are expecting quite a high demand on tickets.  The tickets priced £25 are on sale Friday 29th July at 10am from Seetickets and will be available in person from Esquires Bar  and Slide Record Shop from Saturday 30th July.
