JAMES YORKSTON (SOLO)

April Moon + Friends

APRIL MOON return for a special winter edition of their Americana showcase, and they’ve pulled out all the stops for another spectacular bill of the finest acts around.

Combining their irresistibly charming, boot-stompin’ tunes with intertwined twangy and jangly guitars, powerful vocal harmonies and a kick drum made from an old suitcase, Jaime April and Jason Moon make up the alt-country / Canadiana duo APRIL MOON. Known for their fun, well crafted songwriting, these two play the hell out of their instruments, leaving toes tapping, cheeks aching from smiling, and spirits lifted sky-high. Growing up on the wild prairies beside the North Saskatchewan River in Canada, embracing the open road became a necessity to travel between venues and the pair haven’t put down roots since, splitting their time between several countries a year and living out of a cool campervan they call ‘The Clubhouse’.

Support comes from Jukehouse Junkies, Megan Lee, Vox Americana, and Alice Ashe.

Doors at 4:30pm. Tickets on sale now.

THE SHIPBUILDERS

Having released their second album ‘This Blue Earth’ this year to national acclaim (“…visions born out of reading Somerset Maugham while imbibing in the acid Love dropped in the Mersey long ago…” – Uncut Magazine), The Shipbuilders bring their Shipwrecked events to it spiritual home in Future Yard on Saturday 6th December.

Having hosted two legendary all-day events in 2021 and 2022, Shipwrecked returns to Birkenhead for another all-day bash, with a special expanded Shipbuilders lineup, plus support from the great and good.

We’re thrilled to be welcoming Big Unit Agricultural Regime, Gintis, Motel Sundown, Holy Gloam, and William William Rodgers along for the ride on the day. Alongside newly added support from Sally Porter, Saint Vespauluus,  Melissa Grindon and Laura Ferries. 

Tickets on sale now.

WILL VARLEY

We welcome Brixton-born folk songwriter Will Varley on Friday 5th December, an artist that stays true to the roots of folk by combining personal storytelling with political statements.
He joins us this Winter in support of his new album, ‘Machines Will Never Learn To Make Mistakes Like Me’ (out 30th May). Inspired by his natural habitats of the East Kent Coast and the US Midwest, the album is full of songs are rich, lyrical tales that speak of hard touring, relationships on the rocks and the rebuilding of minds. Featuring some very special guest appearances including Billy Bragg, Eleni Drake & Bastille’s Dan Smith, the album continues Varley’s decade long exploration of the human condition, this time focusing on society’s ever-present threat of impending apocalypse, how we marry this with the mundane and the minutiae of our everyday lives and how we can find hope.

Tickets on sale now.

MOSH TOTS – CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

The Mosh Tots Band headline the hippest show in town on Sunday 14th December!

Aimed at children aged 0-8, Mosh Tots is here to introduce young people to the rockin’ world of live music in a safe and fun environment. We believe that live music should be for everyone, no matter your age. For too long live music venues have been off limits for young children and their parents. Mosh Tots flips that on its head and is an opportunity to share the joy of live music together as a family.

Tickets are on sale now at £14 for kids aged 1-8, and £7 for Mini Moshers aged under 1 – or bring an under 1 for a discounted price when they come with a child aged 1-8.

For every child ticket purchased, 1 adult goes free. Tickets are needed for any additional adults attending, priced at £3.50.

The Family Battenburg

The Family Battenberg are the latest to join the team in Birkenhead for their ‘In-Bloom’ Series, performing at Bloom Building on Friday 14th November.

Cardiff’s quartet have perfected a filthy, fuzzy psychedelic sound that they’ve coined as “spider rock”, a particular breed of Garage Rock that has seen them support the likes of Getdown Services, Panic Shack, Gruff Rhys and the Bug Club.

Back with a brand new track that aligns with the soundscape that’s signature to them, ‘Anteater!’ is The Family Battenberg finessed. Drenched in fuzzy saturation, spacey vocals ricochet between a blistering guitar, all while a double-tracked mono drum plays like a call to action.

This is certainly one to catch live.
