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

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.
