SUMMARY:456 Live Present…Brigitte Calls Me Baby
DESCRIPTION:Brigitte Calls Me Baby crafts a sound that’s equal parts elegant time warp and modern-day reckoning—fusing mid-century pop’s lavish romanticism with the raw energy of post-punk and early-millennium indie-rock. Fronted by Wes Leavins\, whose hypnotic croon channels Roy Orbison\, The Cars\, and Radiohead\, the Chicago band delivers a rare mix of sophistication and sincerity. After a breakout SXSW set and a deal with ATO Records\, they are currently touring with Morrissey and their highly anticipated debut album\, The Future Is Our Way Out\, is out now – produced by Grammy-winning Dave Cobb. \nTickets on sale from Friday 28th March 2025. \nAge Restrictions: 16+ (under 18s to be accompanied by an adult)

SUMMARY:The Frank and Walters (Full Band) + support
DESCRIPTION:Once upon a not-so-very-long-ago three friends from Cork decided to form a musical band. Their collective love of melody and God-given gift for a hook saw riches and acclaim bestowed on them from far and wide and they lived happily ever after safe in the knowledge that hard work\, wonderful songs and honest talent would always win the day… It’s been a long\, strange\, beautiful journey for The Franks\, who in the 90s flirted with the charts on this continent and others\, but no-one can deny they made their mark. Hell\, there’s even an all-girl Japanese Franks tribute band! Sing along to After All\, Fashion Crisis Hits New York\, This Is Not A Song and Happy Busman. \nThe Frank and Walters will be supported by Jody and the Jerms: \nJody and the Jerms create endearing jangle-pop songs that are both evocative and relatable. Formed in Oxford in 2019\, they have been writing\, recording and performing their blend of melodic and uplifting indie/alt rock ever since\, recording three albums to date and enjoying national airtime on Radio X (UK)\, Absolute Radio (UK)\, Sirius XM (USA) and RTVE (Spain)\, as well as BBC 6 Music\, BBC Introducing\, BBC Wales and BBC Ulster. “It’s almost like power pop\, a bit Bangles… or jangle pop. Lovely” – Radcliffe & Maconie\, BBC 6 Music “Evanescent jangle of endearing pop hymns… A celestial glow that lingers at the nexus of The Sundays\, Belle and Sebastian\, Throwing Muses\, and the effervescent efflorescence of The Darling Buds.” – Post-Punk.com \nSaturday 7th June\, 2025\nDoors Open: 7:30pm\nFirst act starts: 8:00pm
