Eleanor (born Leonor Marques) is a 19-year-old Portuguese artist based in London. Music has been part of her life since childhood, and years of study have deepened her passion for creating and performing.
Her journey as an artist officially began on August 30, 2025, with the release of her debut single “Never Mine.” Rooted in singer-songwriter and pop, Eleanor’s sound is enriched by her wide range of influences — from the warmth of jazz to the elegance of classical music, often weaving strings and orchestral textures into her arrangements. With another single on the way and her first full album set to arrive in December 2025, she is quickly establishing herself as one of the most exciting emerging voices of her generation.
Eleanor is committed to giving her audience everything she has — with each performance and every song, she promises to deliver her heart, soul, and best self to the public.
Radfax
In the cosmic quiet of Earth’s shadow, a vessel slipped through the atmosphere—a craft carrying Radfax, a collective of harmonic symbiotes from a dimension where sound shapes reality. Their mission: to locate the Keys of Harmony, cosmic frequencies lost to a planet drowning in "white noise" (a.k.a. human existential static). Equipped with The Filter Flask—a transcoder that distills chaos into rhythm—they landed, disguised as a band, to reboot humanity’s connection to universal resonance.
Now in our 16th year.
Since 2010, on the third Friday of every month Gary, Lucienne and Danny, plus special guests, have been playing the finest northern soul, mod, Motown, vintage R&B, Two Tone, ska and rocksteady, all on vinyl.
Chuffed to announce that, making his Crawdaddy! DJ debut this month is Jon Clay (Compared To What)
Tickets are £5 on the door. Or buy in advance from We Got Tickets https://wegottickets.com/event/672943

TALENTBANQ Presents The Swamp Stomp String Band LIVE at the legendary Fiddler’s Elbow, Camden
https://events.talentbanq.com/events/talentbanq/1735944
The Swamp Stomp String Band are a travelling band, consisting of twangy banjos, thudding double bass, gritty guitars, driving drums and a flat pack honky-tonk piano – playing rambunctious, up-tempo, old-time music infused with Bluegrass, Country, Americana, and anything else you might find pouring out of a beer (or cider) soaked, roadside dive-bar!
Taking ‘DIY’ band to the extreme; self-recording, promoting and releasing their own original music – expect a rough and rowdy, boisterous and bawdy, theatrically extravagant performance that captures the audience’s attention time after time!
With support from Ribble.
Ribble – two Northern men, a fiddle, a guitar, and a large beard. So far, so what? Well, add in a 90s drum synth, some mighty arrangements of meaty fiddle tunes, some songs, some wrong turns, battle scars earned busking the streets of Salisbury, a barrowload of end-of-the-pier banter and the feeling that your mad rum-soaked uncle is roaring at you to dance on the tables, then you’re getting close to what Ribble is about.
Join us again at the Fiddler's Elbow for a packed 2 sets of Grateful Goodness
ANIMAUX FORMIDABLES UK Tour - London
with support from DRONNINGEN + NOMAD SHAKES
tickets
https://wegottickets.com/event/672463
ANIMAUX FORMDABLES is a garage-fuzz-noise duo, consisting of percussion and guitar/vocals, formed at the beginning of 2022.
The idea is to unleash a visceral, raw, and basic instinct by putting themselves in the shoes of two animal-like characters, who have always been fed with Glam Rock, Punk, and Rock‘n’Roll.
DRONNINGEN is an Italian-born, London-based singer-songwriter and guitarist, known for her infectious blend of fuzzy electro-rock.
Active since 2011, she has performed internationally and is now returning as a solo artist with a fresh wave of new music.
Her brand new single 'Eretica' came out on Friday 30th May 2025 (timed to coincide with St. Joan of Arc Day).
Her stage name, meaning "the queen" in Norwegian, reflects her philosophy of living life boldly, as an active protagonist rather than a passive spectator: an empowering reminder that we only live once.
Inspired by acts like Juliette & The Licks, Bones UK and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, her music delivers punchy rhythms, catchy riffs, and anthemic choruses with a distinctive edge.
NOMAD SHAKES are a Pop-Rock / Garage Rock Revival quartet from South East UK. The band formed at the beginning of 2023 from a collection of alternative-rock loving, denim wearing, introverts made in the 90's. Their unique sound fuses driven guitars, stomping bass lines, tight hard hitting drums and melodic vocals, all delivered with sweat, passion and vigour.
plus special guest DIKAJEE (solo)
AISLES, the acclaimed Chilean progressive rock band, are returning to the UK for the first time in nine years and are playing an intimate warm-up show in London before their appearance at the major HRH PROG festival in Great Yarmouth.
Formed in 2005 and having released five highly acclaimed studio albums, they have created an unparalleled musical approach that combines intricate melodies and sonic openness. They have toured the Americas, Europe, and have performed with prog legends Marillion, Focus, and Riverside.
Their 2005 debut album “The Yearning” was praised for its elegant and delicate melodic work. 2013 saw perhaps their best-known album “4:45 AM” which was ranked among the best albums of that year in numerous publications. Their fourth studio album, “Hawaii” (2016), a concept album that narrates the life of humanity in space after the destruction of the Earth, was called a “masterpiece” and its success allowed them to tour Europe, the United States and Mexico.
Their fifth album, "Beyond Drama," was released on April 5, 2023, after the departure of three members and the reconfiguration of the group., and their sixth album is due for release later in 2025, introducing the new singer Boris Seeder.
YUVAL RON is a guitarist who performs original tunes which transcend the boundaries of any specific musical genre. Inspired by a crossover of modern Jazz-Rock icons and a host of many other contemporary artists from the Progressive Rock, Fusion, Metal and modern music genres, it is all well blended into an own fresh and distinct musical direction, best described as Cinematic Prog or Fusion.
The music features virtuosic performances of various compelling and colourful compositions, produced on top of a cinematic, orchestral, some say Sci-Fi film-like backgrounds, atmospheric soundscapes and various implanted sound effects drawing the listener into a total, electrifying experience.
The compositions place a constant emphasis on harmonic richness, rhythmical sophistication while maintaining a fine balance between intricately detailed group arrangements and the players’ individual expression.
The evening will start with a short solo set from DIKAJEE, a Russian-born singer/songwriter who has shown her voice on stages across the globe with some well-famed names.
In 2021 DIkajee released the album "Forget~Me~Nots" to showcase the weavings of folk, neo-baroque, neoclassical, and progressive rock, which received a bunch of positive reviews from music magazines around Europe, UK, and USA; she became #4 Vocalist Of The Year at Prog Readers Poll, and the single "Lily Of The Valley" was released on "The Best Of Metal Hammer 2021" official CD.
After moving to the UK in 2023 and a successful Kickstarter campaign, Dikajee will release a new album "The Frame" this year, which features contributions from guest artists Jonathan Noyce (Archive, Jethro Tull); Varijashree Venugopal (Snarky Puppy), and German Vergara (Aisles) among others.
