Get ready to ignite your senses! The Fiddlers Elbow is bringing an explosive live show to you. Prepare for a night of electrifying riffs, soaring vocals, and an unforgettable atmosphere that will have you dancing until the lights come up. Don't miss out!
KEEP YA NOSE OUT is a dynamic producer/songwriter duo hailing from the vibrant streets of London, fusing R&B, Rock, and the high energy pulse of DnB and Jungle. Their music is an electrifying blend of dark, compelling rhythms and raw emotional depth, creating a soundscape that's as thrilling
as it is unique, offering something for everyone's musical tastes.
Carmine Relic are a London based Alternative Rock band. Their sound combines classic pop/rock elements with vibrant rhythms and soulful melodies in songs that shift from mellow moods to dramatic surges.
Onew1sh delivers acerbic acoustic rock in the vein of Alice in Chains’ ‘Jar of Flies’ but with a distinct British snarly cynicism. An album recorded with Steve Lyon (Depeche Mode/ The Cure) is due for release later in 2025’. These are not love songs. These are songs about the current state of the economy, apathy and frustrations with the status quo (not the band).
Arthur’s Fate
A total madness that blends genres, ranging from "Latin Pop" to "Nu Metal". When on stage, the band feels like a stand-up act and a sonic mayhem.
The name represents "Arthur", a fictional character who reflects on his traumatic past. War, toxic relationships, and betrayal. Maybe each one of us has a bit of "Arthur" inside?
Members:
Amazings (vocals)
Panhead (guitar and vocals)
Wizard (drums)
Iggy (guitar)
Big Man (bass)

Tushara Rose
Avant-garde folk singer and all round $ick b1tch Tushara Rose has been delighting and horrifying crowds with her labyrinthine music for nearly a decade on the Naarm/Melbourne music scene. Her complex, colourful and political songs will make you challenge your perspective, laugh and maybe even cry.
Following releases on Blossom Rot and Critter Records (Aus), and a novelty Christmas song featured in Rolling Stone Magazine (bizarrely), Tushara is returning to play her first UK gig in 9 years, presenting the greatest hits of her weirdo catalogue.
Spagboll have been cheffing up original jazz/indie tunes over the last year, playing gigs at a range of venues including Scala and 93 Feet East. They recently released their first EP ‘Al Dente’ independently. Consisting of Hepzi on the vocals/flute, Luke on the bass, Michael on the drums and Dan on the guitar, they all listen to, and are inspired by, totally different musicians. This means that when they come together as a band, the spagboll sound is unique as it is enticing.
Come one, come all, come on everybody to the best Goddamn Poetry Jam you've ever seen or heard!
We are an open mic night welcoming any form of spoken word - from poetry to song, to stand-up comedy, to ranting about your neighbours and their smelly pets.

TERROR BIRD aka Nikki Nevver - DIY BEDROOM POP MEETS SYNTH POP MEETS DARK SYNTH POP gone rogue from Vancouver, Canada (Night School / Rough Trade). Former brat in post punk / punk bands like Modern Creatures and Automatic Fancy.

Plenty of synth, heartfelt vocals and lyrics, diva-licious like the early days of The Smiths.
Terror Bird has played with Grimes, TR/ST, The Human League, Merchandise, The Chameleons, Future Islands, Xiu Xiu and has collaborated musically with Maya Postepski of Austra, Sally Dige, Jason Corbett of Actors and has written songs with Easter from Berlin.

*** The Playboys - LONDON RETURN GIG!
The band was originally formed in January 1986, yes, that’s 39 years ago. The idea was that of
Dave Begent, who asked Rob Glazebrook if he would play guitar with him and Kev Clark (drums),
and the ethos of the group was to play, simply, wild Rock ‘n’ Roll + Rockabilly and choose songs
that were not being covered and write their own. However, the singer chosen didn’t arrive at the first rehearsal, so Rob ended up singing all of the songs and playing guitar, a first for him. Wanting
to expand their sound, Clive Osborne then joined the guys on saxophone, and the rest is history.
Their first album “Invitation To Death” all self-penned, was released in 1989. Over the years, they
have played over 4000 gigs, and throughout this time, there have been a few line up changes.
Although, there now seems to be 1 that clicks well, and audiences have gotten used to seeing.
After the issue of the “Twenty One” album, back in 1994, on Joker Records, and re-realised on
“Rolling Rock” in 2008. They have reformed once before but now 4 years later, after their last gig,
have they decided to reform again due to public and popular demand. The line up on “Twenty
One” and now will be; Rob Glazebrook (Vcls + Gtr), Wayne Hopkins (Bass), Clive Osborne
(Saxophone) and Ricky McCann (drums). It’s a who’s who of well known faces, who know how to
Rock ‘n’ Roll, which has always been the idea of the group. Rare and wonderful songs are given
the Playboys treatment, like “Cast Iron Arm”, “Ooh My Soul”, “Bloody Mary”, and the wonderful
“Comeback Judy” released on a ’45 in 1995. The band are ready once again, to give audiences
some wild nights.
DO NOT MISS THIS LONG AWAITED LONDON RETURN!

Punk Sunday Matinee Season Finale! Doors open at 1pm and close promptly at 5pm.
*** ON THE DOOR £13 CASH ONLY ***
Three punk bands, celebrate the finale of this amazing season for MoonPunx, and are gonna set your Sunday alight!
This fully accessible venue has close transport links and is in one of the most eclectic parts of London, Chalk Farm, just minutes away from Camden Market.
Creating that vital spark for you we have Dinosaur Skull; they play scratchy poppy punk, a guitar / keyboard / drum machine mash-up spinning tales of south London life.
Next up and always adding fuel to the fire, are your hosts, Family of Strangers. Living up to their name they always bring a surprise or two! Just returning from an amazing headline slot at Moseley Punk Fest, Birmingham, they head to Camden from their hometown of Brighton. With their anthemic songs, infectious energy and unwavering commitment to punk Family of Strangers is proving themselves to be one of the most exciting bands on the scene. Inspired by legendary punk bands like Penetration, The Damned, The Cramps, UK Subs, and Rancid, Family of Strangers delivers a raw and powerful sound that's sure to get you moving.
Headliners Hagar the Womb will set the entire place alight! Hagar the Womb formed in the toilets at London’s Wapping Autonomy Centre in 1981. From these rather tarnished beginnings, they flexed their DIY punk wings and became known for adding fun and live chaos to the London anarcho-punk scene. They released their first EP 'The Word of the Womb' on Conflict’s Mortarhate label in 1984, followed by a legendary John Peel session and a second EP “Funnery in a Nunnery” on Abstract records before splitting in 1987. The band reformed in 2011 with all original band members and have recorded, gigged and giggled ever since. They continue to relish playing live, with their distinct on-stage brand of semi-organised chaos born of knowing each other for too long and never finding enough time to rehearse. They also celebrate a personal record of having lasted longer since reforming than they managed in the 80s. This Fiddlers Elbow gig will be their only London gig for the rest of the year so don't blink and miss it!!
Like moths to a flame, gather round Punx, its gonna get HOT!
