The duo are about ethics not politics\, and want to spread positivity and unity in an era which feels increasingly bleak. \n\nTickets from seetickets.com / Slide / Esquires

SUMMARY:Smoove & Turrell ‘The Singles Tour’
DESCRIPTION:Smoove & Turrell ‘The Singles Tour’ \n7:30pm\, Friday 24th April\, Bedford Esquires \nThe story of Smoove & Turrell began in the post millennium North East of England with a group of working class lads and a shared passion for soul. Smoove had met keyboardist Mike Porter through the local music scene in Newcastle and recruited him for his ‘Smoove Live’ project for the label Acid Jazz. Around Mike’s house one day they overheard a neighbour singing sublime melodies in his garage with friends which turned out to be none other than a young John Turrell practicing in a band called ‘The Stevies’. After a couple of further sessions ‘scouting’ him they finally knocked on the door and had a chat and hit it off straight away. \nTheir first track was the now classic ‘I Can’t Give You Up’ recorded at Mike Porter’s house as his Hammond Organ was immovably wedged in his utility room. It was in fellow soul head Craig Charles that they found their first radio champion as he supported them heavily on ‘The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show’ which was a kick-starter for their assault on national radio eventually landing Radio 2 record of the week. \nThe band’s 6th studio album “Stratos Bleu” scored their first official UK charts Number 1 (Dance Album Chart) as well as making a healthy dent in the Overall album Top 40. Alongside this they were given an Album of the Day accolade at BBC 6 music\, cementing the fact that 6 albums in\, their brand of gritty realism doused in dancefloor euphoria is more relevant than ever. A delayed but relentless tour schedule for “Stratos Bleu” meant that it wasn’t until the middle of 2022 that they could get back to writing\, delivering their 7th album “Red Ellen” (named after a female labour politician who was instrumental in shaping post war attitudes to social justice) which was released in October 2023. Less electronic an odyssey than “Stratos Bleu”\, but still firmly centred on the dancefloor and with an overwhelmingly optimistic message of love and compassion\, “Red Ellen” is tempered as always with the reality of working class life in the North East of England. \nGuest support: The Miller Collective DJs \nTickets on sale now from Esquires Bar\, Slide Record Shop & Seetickets online

SUMMARY:Aircooled + Guests.
DESCRIPTION:***NEW SHOW*** \nAircooled will be making their Esquires debut on Thursday the 7th May 2026! \nAircooled pull off the rare trick of making music that thrills ravers as much as it does heads. From warm\, enveloping kraut-rock to spiralling\, glossy space odysseys and pure-hearted pop\, it’s disco music for smart people\, party music for retired ravers. \nTheir first album was met with near-instant acclaim\, with Metro describing it as “Wild and wiggy… deeply groovy”\, and earned them support slots with the likes of Suede\, The Wonder Stuff and The Jesus and Mary Chain. \nTheir third album ‘My God it’s Full of Stars!’ is due to be released on the 3rd of April 2026 and represents another quantum leap for the band\, with big songs to fill big (and small) venues. There are songs about the gentrification of St Leonards (‘Idiots’)\, 17th-century German astronomers (‘Kepler’)\, and ‘Delirious’\, an unashamedly disco remembrance of all things hedonistic. It’s epic\, ambitious\, heartfelt\, yet still packed with songs for dancing feet. \nThis is the album that should just send Aircooled into the stars. \n“The children of motoric Kraut-rock. Kosmische. Exciting\, pulsating music for both the dance floor and extended listening at home.” \nTickets on sale now from Seetickets.\n——————————————————————————\nIn association with Arts Council England a limited number of ‘Art is for Everyone’ tickets are available for just £5 from Seetickets to those on a low income or struggling with increases in the cost of living. These tickets are also available to anyone under the age of 25\, regardless of their financial situation.
