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.

They are thrilled to host Sunday (1994) at Future Yard on Friday 7th November for a dose of vintage dream-pop perfect for the newly weds and the nearly deads.
To mark the opening of the Liverpool Mozart Orchestra’s 75th Anniversary season the orchestra will present a programme covering the four cornerstones of its illustrious history.
These are: Performing the core repertoire of the classical and early Romantic period (Beethoven’s iconic Pastoral Symphony); showcasing lesser known classical works that deserve to be better known (19th century composer Emilie Mayer’s Second Overture); introducing contemporary/new works (our own chief conductor Robin Wallington’s Gaia); plus providing a platform for the best young musicians (James Heathcote in Schumann’s mercurial Cello Concerto).
This will be a very special concert indeed!

With a voice that shifts from velvet sonorous tones to banshee-like wails, Tender Claws lures you into her haunting world of alt rock songs inspired by gothic fiction and the darker sides of nature and the human condition.
Her fuzz-heavy, 90s-reminiscent sound comprises powerful grunge-influenced outbursts and softer episodes, scattered with serrated guitar and synth elements. Following the release of her most recent single, ‘Disappear’; and shows this year supporting Dog Race, Rosegarden Funeral Party and Bonnie Trash, she eagerly awaits her suitably spooky Halloween show at Future Yard.
An unmissable show chronicling the story of one of the greatest showmen of all time, the legendary Barry Manilow. Experience all the classic hits from his amazing career culminating in over 85 million record sales.
This stunning concert is fronted by internationally acclaimed vocalist Martyn James and his sensational band & dancers, who capture the timeless energy of hits such as ‘Mandy’, ‘Could It Be Magic’, ‘Can’t Smile Without You’, ‘I Write the Songs’, ‘I Made It Through the Rain’’, ‘Bermuda Triangle’, Copacabana (At the Copa) and many more.
A must see for all Fanilows…
