PICTISH TRAIL

Pictish Trail, AKA Johnny Lynch, has just completed work on a brand-new album — a sticky, shimmering swirl of sound and slime (both metaphorical and literal). To celebrate, he’s embarking on a series of special solo shows, previewing songs from the forthcoming release. These intimate performances will see Lynch in raw, exploratory mode, armed with an acoustic guitar, a sampler, and a warped imagination — expect tenderness, weirdness, and a generous dollop of goo.

Tickets on sale now.

KANTOS CHAMBER CHOIR: THE WITCH TRIALS

Kantos Chamber Choir are back at Future Yard on Sunday 16th November with The Witch Trials.

A mirror to our callous hearts.

The infamous stories of the trials, torture and execution of witches are surely just abominable tales of a bygone era? Yet, with each and every unspeakable act we witness in the modern world, perhaps the Witch Trials tell us just as much about human nature today.

Music and spoken word sit alongside one another, offering an immersive reflection on the Lancashire Witch Trials of 1612. The programme gives us all a chance to grieve the senseless loss of life and confront some heavy truths while hearing some of the actual texts from the trials of 1612.

Featuring Camden Reeves’ haunting ‘Spells, Remedies & Potions’ – “think Black Sabbath and Metallica but for sopranos” – alongside music by Allegri, Byrd, Hildegard, Wainwright Johnston, and an arrangement of a 17th-Century Barbara Strozzi song by Ellie Slorach, this performance takes you on a captivating journey to a dark past and back again.

Doors open 4:30pm. Performance starts 5pm.

Tickets on sale now. Tickets on a ‘Pay What You Can’ basis. 

ALRIGHT (OKAY) + FRIENDS

We are excited to announce Liverpool’s own alright (okay) will be taking to Future Yard on Saturday 15th November to celebrate the release of their anticipated debut EP, ‘decent (fine)’.

Always a little off-kilter, always on the edge, alright (okay)’s live sets have become word-of-mouth essentials on the underground circuit. With a sound that fuses alt-rock, post-punk and noise-pop with a scrappy, self aware charm, alright (okay) have quietly built a cult following – supporting acts like Do Nothing, TV Priest and Alien Chicks, appearing at festivals including FOCUS Wales, Stockton Calling and Future Yard’s own Future Now Festival.

The EP’s fuzz soaked lead single ‘Good Friend (He Was)’ is a buzzing, emotionally raw tribute to a childhood pet – thick with fuzz, pounding drums and a steadily building sense of catharsis. It’s the first taste of things to come for the band in 2025, and captures everything the band do best: intensity, honesty, and a weird amount of heart.

With a hand selected lineup of the band’s favourite artists, alright (okay) and friends is sure to be something special.

Tickets on sale now.

DU BLONDE

Du Blonde comes to Future Yard!
The audacious alter ego of multi-instrumentalist, producer, and visual artist Beth Jeans Houghton comes to Birkenhead on Friday 14th November – a Newcastle-born creative whose trajectory has taken her from folk-rock curiosity to full-throttle alt-rock juggernaut as Du Blonde, a firebrand persona defined by snarling punk edges, fuzz-drenched guitars, and a fierce do-it-yourself ethos.

Her latest album, 2024’s Sniff More Gritty, sees Du Blonde pushing her sound to newfound extremes, layering explosive riffs and searing vocals into an eclectic collage of punk ferocity and power-pop hooks. Capturing the chaotic spirit of a live performance, the record veers from unbridled aggression to disarming vulnerability—a testament to her unwillingness to be fenced in by genre lines or industry norms.

Celebrated for her raw, cathartic live shows, she leaves audiences enthralled by her commanding stage presence and unvarnished passion. For fans and newcomers alike, Du Blonde stands as a symbol of creative reinvention and unflinching authenticity in modern alt-rock—an artist who refuses to play by anyone else’s rule.
