The Fish & Bicycle Club

We are sure it comes as no surprise to hear that we are cancelling The Fish and Bicycle Club night on April 3rd and thereafter. All the acts will be invited back when things get better. Sorry guys! Hope you all stay healthy!

FRIDAY 1st NOVEMBER 2019 MONTBRETIA TURTLE ON MY KNEE EMMA SCARR SOPHIE CRAWFORD MONTBRETIA I’m Montbretia and have been playing the guitar for 5 years now and have recently started doing open mics. I’ve played several times at the Wanstead Tap and have supported Eliza Carthy- which was amazing. I’ve grown up listening to Bob Dylan and The Eagles and love learning their amazingly written songs. TURTLE ON MY KNEE Two grown men who have never made it to Barnstable. They have never made it as an electro-funk band either, hence their decision to play bluegrass and country music. But they enjoy playing together, and would enjoy playing for you too. Together they provide an eclectic repertoire of styles and genres, performing with a strong groove and foot-stomping energy. EMMA SCARR Emma writes songs about ordinary people in ordinary situations, capturing everyday experiences, and honing them into beautiful songs with unflinching honesty. Songs that remind us that ...

FRIDAY 5th JULY 2019 KATIE MF PUNKZOUKI® STEVE O'DONOGHUE JAX BRAITHWAITE KATIE MF Forged in the differently-burning fires of Friday night moshpits and Sunday afternoon folk singalongs, Katie MF’s folk/punk has been described as ‘the female Frank Turner I didn’t know I needed’ – something she’s not at all sad about. Her debut EP, Learning How To Lie, was released in April 2018.  STEVE O'DONOGHUE Last minute replacement for Mike Nisbet PUNKZOUKI® They said no-one would be stupid enough to try it, but they reckoned without Funky Lol Ross (Steve White & The Protest Family). Watch him murder some 70s punk favourites on an Irish bouzouki. JAX BRAITHWAITE Jax is an alternative/folk singer-songwriter with a guitar and often a ukelele. Jax is a busker on the London Underground, has been playing guitar since 2009 and takes inspiration from fellow lady songstresses such as Joni Mitchell, Martha Wainwright and Sara Bareilles. Jax also work...

FRIDAY 7th JUNE 2020  KATIE MADDOCKS WILL O'DONOGHUE MICK TERRY KATIE MADDOCKS Singer-songwriter Katie Maddocks combines the ridiculous with the profound in her characteristically geek-and-proud, folk-meets-Thundercats music. Katie is currently working on her debut EP, to be released sometime next year. WILL O'DONOGHUE A welcome return for Will, an east London based Folk singer/songwriter self-releasing songs on a monthly basis throughout 2019, coinciding with an open mic tour of British cities which you can watch on his YouTube channel.

FRIDAY 3rd MAY 2020  STEVE WHITE GERI VAN ESSEN LUKE FAIRHEAD JAX BRAITHWAITE STEVE WHITE Steve is the front man and main songwriter from East London’s favourite political singalong folk/punk group, Steve White & The Protest Family. The band’s nine-year career has seen them play the length and breadth of the UK and has spawned four albums, the latest of which Protest For Dummies saw Folk Words describe them as proving “once again that protest is alive and kicking, ready to lash out and still full of fire”. Steve’s solo shows have become something of a rarity in recent years, but expect songs from his between-band-records solo releases, plus a few Family favourites..
