Pygmy Twylyte return to Birkenhead!
After a storming show with us in February 2025, Pygmy Twylyte return once again to show us why they’re the ultimate Zappa Tribute band.
Navigating the vast Zappa oeuvre then is no mean feat, but Scotland’s Pygmy Twylyte have embraced the challenge with gusto. Since their inception in 2018, the band have selected a core body of classic material, complemented with a rotating offering of more obscure cuts, and blasted this to delighted audiences across the UK.

TOUCAN is the funk, pop and soul project of Irish songwriter Conor Clancy, emerging as one of the most exciting new voices to break out of Ireland. With brass-driven grooves, velvet-rich vocals and songs that bridge Motown soul and modern pop, he’s the kind of artist built for festival stages and sold-out venues.
Since his breakout single We Fell For Miles, TOUCAN has sold out headline shows in Dublin, London, Bristol, Cork and beyond, and clocked over 5 million streams to date. UK crowds have already felt his live spark through high-energy sets at Love Supreme, Meltdown, and Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul. He’s supported icons including Nile Rodgers & CHIC, James Blunt and Durand Jones & The Indications, as well as The Average White Band at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Most recently, he joined Daði Freyr on his European tour.
Now, with brand-new music on the horizon, TOUCAN is announcing tour dates across the UK and Ireland. Expect sweaty dancing, singalongs, and a sound as timeless as it is fresh.

We are thrilled to host Omar Perry + ERM at Future Yard on Friday 13th February 2026. The son of Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and his former band team up on ‘Channelling Lee Scratch Perry’, their new album paying homage to the godfather of Reggae Dub himself. It’s a sonic tribute to LSP where Omar is able to keeps his identity as a solo artist, whilst still exploring the mind and soul barrier to re-create the embodiment of his father.

Music. Wrestling. Fun. Games.
The chaos returns in 2026…
James Yorkston returns to Future Yard!
Back for a special solo show on Monday 8th December, the haunting Scottish folkster supports the release of his sixteenth album Songs for Nina and Johanna (out now via Domino Records), recorded in Stockholm once again with the Second Hand Orchestra – with Nina Persson and Johanna Söderberg sharing vocals duties.
Rooted in the mud, hills and folklore of the North, Smote is the atmospheric, heavy-leaning project of landscape gardener Daniel Foggin. Drawing on drone, psych, folk tradition and the raw power of electronics, the music feels both ancient and sharply present.
We are excited to welcome Smote on their spring tour, off the back of their latest album release, Songs From The Free House on Rocket Recordings.
Smote’s live shows have built a quiet but loyal reputation for their slow-building intensity: ritualistic, hypnotic and deeply grounded. Expect repetition that pulls you under, waves of amplification, and atmospheric intensity.

Mad Professor comes to Birkenhead!
A disciple of Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’, Mad Professor stands as one of the leading producers in dub reggae’s second generation.
One of the most respected figures in the genre’s transition into the digital age, Mad Professor soon found himself in demand as a remixer for rock, R&B, and electronica acts. Over the course of the ’90s and into the new millennium, he would remix tracks by Sade, The Orb, The KLF, The Beastie Boys, and Depeche Mode, among others. His best-known project, however — and the one that truly established his credentials — was 1995’s No Protection, a completely reimagined version of trip-hop collective Massive Attack’s second album, Protection.
Support comes from The Oliphant Man B2B Sista Irie.
