We’ve already told you, that the fabulous Star Print Clad will be heading up the for us on 18th Sept, BUT, unfortunately, due to personal circumstances beyond anyone’s control, Lush Duck are unable to perform at this show. We send them our best and hopefully reschedule their appearance for another time.

So, as a last minute substitution, please all give a warm welcome and massive round of applause to WireBugs for jumping in to support. You’ll like them, so make sure you come early to check them out!

And so, once again…

This show is TOTALLY FREE, you don’t even need to download a ticket to come. You just need to turn up early, before it gets packed out, so you don’t get turned away cause we’ve hit capacity.
Don’t be that person, you’ll just look like a muppet.

7:30pm, upstairs bar - Over 18s only, physical photo ID required.

Right then, that’s told ya. You coming? Tell us in the comments.

A couple of days ago, The Misty played their last gig of this year, before heading off to finish their second album. They also have a new single ‘Neverknows’ out later this month, so this show marked the occasion. And what a show it was!

Once again, The Misty absolutely brought it to town, with a packed out The Finsbury Pub along with fantastic performances from EVERGREEN and No Rest For The Spacemen
Thank you all so much for a such a quality show. Bravo, encore.

We’d like to extend our thanks as always to everyone else involved in making these shows happen. The exquisite camera skills of our lovely photographer Izzy Reeve Photography , Maciek the sound dude, the super cool staff The Finsbury Pub to China Town Studios for the snazzy artwork, and to Tony Camden for web services and advertising.

Also, a massive shout out to all the beautiful people who made the effort to come along to the show, especially on a Thursday after a bank holiday. We really appreciate your support.

Next show from us is at on 18th Sept - Free entry. Info on page and website. See you then, yeah?
