*CANCELLED* Mötley Crüde – Mötley Crue Tribute Band
Mar 28 @ 7:30 pm – 11:00 pm

THIS SHOW IS CANCELLED. Existing ticket holders will receive a refund.

Established in 2015, Mötley Crüde is Europe’s longest running Motley Crüe tribute band, and crowned winners of the world’s most authentic tribute to Mötley Crüe, as voted by the official Mötley Crüe global fanclub.
In 2023, the band became the first tribute act in history to sell out the iconic ‘Underworld’ venue in Camden, London, UK on presales alone, equalling that of the real Mötley Crüe who sold out the same venue just 6 months prior in a secret show under the name Dögs Öf War.

Lifelong Mötley Crüe fans, Mötley Crüde are unparalleled in their attention to detail when recreating what they believe to be the four most iconic and best loved Mötley Crüe eras (1983’s Shout At The Devil, 1985’s Theatre of Pain, 1987’s Girls, Girls Girls & 1989’s Dr. Feelgood) with costumes, instruments and performances replicated in minute detail, which are to date replicated by no other Mötley Crüe tribute.
2025 sees the band embark on a nationwide tour named ‘Decade of Decadence’ to celebrate their 10-year anniversary, with a full 2-hour show of the hits as well as fan favourite album tracks. So prepare to relive the Sunset Strip glory days as Mötley Crüde brings you a night of non-stop anthems, face-melting riffs, and enough anarchy to make even Nikki Sixx proud. Dust off your leather jackets, tease up your hair, and get ready to scream your lungs
out as Mötley Crüde takes you all the way to the top of the mountain … and then throws you off just for kicks.

Green Mind presents HANNAH LOU CLARK
Apr 11 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Green Mind presents HANNAH LOU CLARK

“Within 30 seconds of Clark’s solo set starting, the room was silent. Her voice poured over the gentle dissonance suggested by each chord” The Quietus
Hannah Lou Clark is a songwriter & musician known for her own introspective indie rock, as well as for alt-pop project FOE.

“Her songs nuzzle their way into you. They wander toward you slowly at first but then their hooks cling like cat claws. These are pop songs but with gristle from a grunge-dunked youth. They’re the kinda songs that feel like disembodied dreams in which you’re gazing from the eye of the storm, lost in a drunken twirl that may last a minute or a lifetime.” Drowned in Sound

Having previously toured with the likes of Thurston Moore, Gaz Coombes, and Lonely The Brave, Hannah is back for a very special one off show to celebrate the release of her debut album ‘How To Unlearn Yourself’.

Green Mind presents OCTOBER DRIFT
Apr 16 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Green Mind presents OCTOBER DRIFT

October Drift have gained a strong word-of-mouth following since exploding onto the music scene.

Despite the early success of their incendiary debut singles – receiving support from Steve Lamacq, John Kennedy and Q magazine to name but a few – and a string of sold-out gigs, this band still remain something of an enigma.

October Drift’s music is similarly ambiguous, characterised by their signature wall of sound guitars, soaring, ponderous vocals and driving, urgent drums.

The band have gained a reputation for delivering blistering, high-energy live shows, and we can’t wait to welcome them back.

Price includes a 50p venue levy

Spring (Bass Player)
At 16, Spring crafted her own bass from a wooden handle, igniting her musical journey. Her unconventional start didn’t hold her back; she toured Europe with various projects. Eventually, she settled in England, where she played with numerous bands, earning a solid reputation in the music scene.

Cecilia (Guitarist)
Cecilia began composing and playing music at the age of 16. She performed at various festivals across Europe before relocating to London. Now, she channels her talents into Nirvanher, showcasing her rich experience and fiery guitar skills on stage.

Cristina (Drummer)
Cristina’s musical journey began as a teenage singer before she went on to learn guitar, bass, and drums. She’s played for big crowds in Italy and the UK. With her versatile talent, she provides a powerful rhythm to Nirvanher’s explosive performances.

Together, Nirvanher not only pays homage to Nirvana’s iconic sound but also reinvents it with their unique flair and all-female powerhouse lineup.
