Upcoming gigs in Leicestershire and Leicester bands playing elsewhere. Due to the semi-automatic nature of this page, occasionally, non-musical events outside Leicestershire may also appear.
We proudly present Leicester’s only high class magic and mystery night:

Advance tickets will come off sale at 7pm on the day of the event, and you can then get tickets on the door for £6 – but you don’t get your free cocktail, and you will not be guaranteed a seat.
Your seats will be grouped by the lead bookers name, so please book together or send us an email to ensure you’re sat with your friends.

Son of Glenn
www.facebook.com/sonofglenn
Son of Glenn frame abstracted melodies with lamenting guitars – songs that are both alt rock distortions and quiet confessions. Their sound is characterised by this duality. Full drums add urgency to the reflexive atmosphere present within the band’s lyrics, whilst a call to break away from these states of reflection rings out through their affirming instrumentations.
Switchdown

With influences stemming from Lower than Atlantis and Dinosaur Pile-up switchdown coast the line between pop-punk and alt-rock.
Bright, melodious and energetic, their live performances are already garnering a lot of attention from local venues with short UK tours already in discussion.

Pama International live in Leicester
at The Donkey, 203 Welford Rd, Leicester LE2 6BH
Saturday 19th January (7pm)
Following up on their critically acclaimed **** Mojo album Love & Austerity and hugely successful Trojan Records songbook tour, Pama Int’l return with their much touted soul album – “The Altruistic Soul Sounds of…” and UK tour in January 2019.
Since their formation in 2001 Pama Int’l have released 10 studio albums and recorded 4 BBC Radio One Maida Vale sessions. In 2006 they became the first new band to sign to Trojan Records in 30 years. The collective nature of the band has seen them work with; Billy Bragg, Ken Boothe, Rico, Derrick Morgan, Dawn Penn, Dave & Ansel Collins, Dennis Alcapone, Wrongtom, and Mad Professor, whilst their line up has attracted members from The Specials, Madness, Galliano, Steel Pulse, and the Style Council.
The album draws on songwriter/founder Sean Flowerdew’s love of Southern Soul and boasts influences of Al Green, Duane Allman, Aretha, Otis, Betty Swann, Wilson Pickett and Booker T & The MGs. It is due for release in January 2019, when they will be touring the UK.
With early plays in for the album from the Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show on BBC Radio 6, where Craig enthused “it’s just superb… believe me it sounds tidy” and a live debut at Alexandra Palace supporting Toots & The Maytals to 8500 people, The Altruistic Soul Sound of Pama International looks set to usher in a wonderful new era for the band.
