Music comes in the form of some proper robotic electro, and various 8bit and computer game anthems. All in all, this is a great Tuesday night at the pub!!

Wednesday

Moseley Folk’s Lunar Society presents: The Old Dance School + Sweng

One of the young folk scene’s hottest up and coming acts, this Birmingham based septet offers evocative images, blistering tunes and vivid songs whilst drawing from their classical and jazz informed backgrounds. “Beautifully crafted… the music is magic in their hands.” – Maverick , “Really does the business… There’s a genuine creative fizz to what the band does.” – Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2

Thursday

Birmingham Promoters presents: The Wilderness Of Manitoba / Ben Calvert & Band / Finding Calcutta – Something special happens when the four members of the Wilderness of Manitoba sing together, whether it’s in the basement of the house on Delaware Avenue in Toronto, Canada where three of them live and where the band recorded their EP Hymns Of Love & Spirits or in the garage out back where they sometimes stage their own shows. The late 60s model is very influential on the recording and the sense of community within the band. They learned not to rely on electric instruments, but rather the strength of their voices and melodies…

Sunday

Birmingham Promoters presents: Delta Spirit / Nathaniel Rateliff / Rogue States

The raw spirit of indie rock. An amplified, rocking version of ’60s protest folk. The soulful passion of the Violent Femmes and the Waterboys. All of these comparisons have been made in attempts to describe Delta Spirit, the southern California five-piece who might just be one of the most important new bands of the decade…

World Unlimited presents: The Music Room: Son Of Eagle ,Chris Ricketts and Mark Willshire, Crayon

Son of Eagle joyously brings together unlikely friends and creates all sorts of unusual musical combination, a curious mix of personalities, creative strengths and skilful musical abilities. Son of Eagle have very different musical backgrounds and styles, few would put these 5 together. Could it be an accidental meeting and collaboration of minds? Doubtful. These 5 were meant to create and perform the fantastic music they make together.
