JOHN BRAMWELL DEC 29th
As the singer-songwriter in I Am Kloot from 1999 to 2014, John Bramwell achieved a Mercury Prize nomination for 2010’s The Sky At Night, a Top 10 chart position for 2013’s Let It All In, numerous UK and European tours and a triumphant farewell at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with an orchestra in 2014.
Now, as a solo artist, he’s travelling a very different path, his stunning new album The Light Fantastic is almost a complete U-turn from his Kloot-days. Darker clouds have been banished, there are now strings and four-part harmonies and a dozen gloriously exhilarating, beautifully crafted observed songs about life, humanity, the universe and everything else.

SALT HOUSE - MARCH 1st '26
Salt House have been a mainstay on the folk scene for over a decade. The band’s reputation as thoughtful and innovative interpreters of both ancient ballads and contemporary songs has been solidified with acclaimed album releases and extensive touring. Described as a "gentle, lulling delight" by The Guardian, Salt House blend heartfelt vocal and instrumental interplay, offering listeners a moment of reflection and connection.
New songs that sound like they’ve always been here, ancient ballads woken up. Poems given melodies they’ve long deserved.
Salt House's sound is influenced by the landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, Northumberland and Shetland, the respective homes of band members Ewan MacPherson (vocals, electric and acoustic guitars), Anna Hughes (vocals, fiddle, viola, tenor guitar) and Jenny Sturgeon (vocals, keys, guitar). They incorporate their natural surroundings into the fabric of the music that speaks of a shared love of place, people, and evolving tradition.for everyone at The Strines Nightingale.

AGE AGAINST THE MACHINE (2026 Date )
STRINES Age Against The Machine DAYTIME Party (Over 30s Only) - Sat 16th May, 3pm-7pm
https://www.seetickets.com/event/age-against-the-machine/the-strines-nightingale/3480681
After a sold out event last summer (and numerous other cities around the country), Age Against The Machine are returning to The Strines Nightingale for another afternoon of over 30s fun!
For over 12 years now Don and Reg have been hosting sold out parties in London and around the UK for those who do not want to go gentle in to that good night and are still fighting hard for their right to party! And they're back in Strines again! Dropping the finest: pop, indie, rock, disco, Motown, rock ‘n’ roll, power ballads, soul, punk, ska, northern soul, funk and anything we think will get the floor moving.
We intend this event to be on the outdoor stage. However, with the British weather, we have a contingency to bring it indoors. It might be that certain portions are inside or out, our aim is to keep you dry but have the best shindig we can, and the outside wood space is an awesome place to have a party!
**As with all Age Against The Machine events this is strictly for over 30s only. Photo ID MUST be produced, even if you have purchased an advance ticket!
No Kids Allowed!
Age Against The Machine has appeared at numerous festivals over the years including Isle of Wight, Latitude, Standon Calling, Brighton Fringe and more.
