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.

Some people say that it wouldn’t truly be Christmas without our annual Christmas Music Quiz. And who are we to argue?
Come and get festive with us in the run-up to Christmas with a test of wits, music trivia and bad jokes, as the greatest quizzing minds ever assembled (in Birkenhead) battle it out for the greatest prize known to humankind – the smug satisfaction of being reigning quiz champs for another 12 months.
We have been hosting this festive music quiz in various forms for almost a decade, in partnership with Liverpool’s much loved and long-running club night, Liquidation. Future Yard have taken over hosting duties from Bido Lito!, but the spirit of the pink pages is well and truly alive.
All proceeds from the night will be split between two charities that have long been associated with this event, MIND and The Whitechapel Centre. MIND is a mental health charity that has been running since the 1960s, providing advice and support to people across the UK who may be experiencing a mental health problem. The Whitechapel Centre is the leading homeless and housing charity for the Merseyside region, working tirelessly with people who are sleeping rough or living in hostels to give them the support they need.
There are plenty of ways to win on the night, with a variety of prizes to be won. But by simply attending you are supporting the great work of these two charities.
It’s a ‘Christmas’ quiz because it’s taking place at Christmas, there will be mince pies and there will definitely be Jona Lewie. It’s a ‘music’ quiz because all the questions will be about music (even the Match Of The Day question) and because of Punk Rock Bingo. Festive knitwear is positively encouraged.

Doors at 7pm, quiz starts promptly at 7.30pm. We’ll be finished by 11pm, in time for the last bus or train!
