THIS INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY 🎸💖

An International Women’s Day special lands at Esquires on Saturday March 7th courtesy of blender. Self-styled alt rockers ‘A Void’ will be bringing their DIY punk aesthetic fuelled by Boursin Cheese and pickle juice.
Yes, they hail from Paris, France, citing influences from Sonic Youth to Charles Aznavour. New single ‘Fish in Your Pocket’ is out now, available just about everywhere.
The band will come armed with acoustic guitars for this one, as they have lost the drummer under the fish head and are currently seeking a new one... could it be you?
Check out their socials and get in touch if you think you’ve got what they need.
A Void will be supported by a cast of the area’s best girl bands: Kate Gore and The Screamers (ok, with a couple of chaps), a Jasmine Burns solo set, Apollo, making their Esquires debut and the Twice Over twins.

Tickets just £10 on seetickets
