Michael Kiwanuka – Komedia// 15th February 2012

Michael Kiwanuka's timeliness, folk-inflected soul has been winning many admirers of late and having recently topped the prestigious BBC Sound Of 2012 poll, this is probably the last chance we’ll have to see him perform in such an intimate venue. Don’t miss it!

Pulled Apart By Horses – The Leadmill // 16th February 2012

While Pulled Apart By Horses are one of the UK's most fun bands on record, everything just makes that bit more sense in a live setting. Expect explosive amounts of energy, massive shoutalong choruses and sweaty young men getting all up in yo' grill.

Spector– The Deaf Institute // 18th February 2012




Making the BBC’s ‘Sound of..’ list is not to be sniffed at! Past listees include Mumford and Sons, Jessie J, Florence and the Machine and The Vaccines, so it certainly can’t hurt to be included. If you want to make your own mind up, tonight gives you a chance to see a band that made the ‘Sound of 2012’ list. The energetic five some will give you hope at the quality of new music. For this year, at least!
