About The Event

Beneath Oxfordshire's starry skies on the echoes of South Wales, Dolly Mavies serenades under a harvest moon, weaving tales of life's mysteries. Her melodies enchant the soul, and her lyrics deliver a visceral punch. 'The Calm and The Storm,' her eagerly awaited debut album, has garnered critical acclaim and secured support from BBC Introducing, BBC 6 Music as one of Tom Robinson's favourites, and Absolute Radio as Artist of the month.

Channeling a timeless quality, her music is like an old friend - familiar and reassuring, yet brutally honest and unexpected. With authenticity and a natural energy, she effortlessly navigates from fiery rock passion to gentle folky lullabies, each note resonating with heartfelt sincerity.

Joined by her exceptional band, when they step onto the stage, it's not merely a performance; it's an experience. Her music moves the soul, blurring eras and genres with heart-wrenching lyrics and foot stomping, spirit-igniting anthems.

Oli Ng is a Singer-Songwriter from Crewe, England.

His songs which have been said to give a life affirming, honest, and positive take on some of life’s greatest challenges, have taken him across the UK & Europe, sharing stages with a variety of acts such as Tom Robinson, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly., Steve Ignorant (Crass), Neville Staple of The Specials, Jared Hart and Will Hoge.

Born and raised in Crewe, and brought up on his parents love for Springsteen, it was inevitable that Oli Ng would become a songwriter. His journey into the music world didn't start at an early age though, as it was only in the latter years of his School life that he first picked up a Guitar and started his first band.  From there, Oli went on to perform across the UK with Alt-Rock band ‘The Eyres’ before starting his Solo Project. Oli has released a number of EPs, most notably his ‘Into The Dark’ EP which won ‘Best EP’ at the Staffordshire & Cheshire Music Awards in 2017. Oli’s Debut Album "Everything Is Impossible Until It Happens", was released on April 7th 2023. Oli & His Band embarked on a 20-date UK & European Tour in October/November of 2023, in support of the record.

Nearly two years on from launching on streaming services, ‘World On Fire’, the acclaimed debut album by Joe Kelly & The Royal Pharmacy, is available now on vinyl via Dirty Carrot Records, having been lovingly remastered by Matthew Evans (frontman of Cardiff-based psych-rock geniuses Keys).

Playing live across the UK in support of the vinyl release, Joe Kelly is a chameleonic presence, sometimes showing up to solo sets with just a broken-necked guitar and a battered case full of harmonicas to accompany him. On other occasions, the dustbowl-dry skeletons of Joe Kelly's haunted blues and country songs are fleshed out with three-part vocal harmonies and atmospheric guitar and keyboard textures by members of The Royal Pharmacy, his backing band on World On Fire. Mercurial and spellbinding in equal measure, no version of the Joe Kelly live experience should be missed.
