Peter Capaldi
Event Information
Kilimanjaro & Regular Music Presents... With support from - Zoe Graham Almost 50 years since he formed his punk/rock student band, The Dreamboys, iconic actor of stage and screen, Peter Capaldi, announces his first ever headline music tour, with eight dates across the UK, kicking off in Newcastle on 24 Feb 2026. Better known as the electric guitar playing incarnation of the twelfth Dr Who, and the ‘Thick Of It’ swearer in chief Malcolm Tucker, Capaldi picks up where he left off some fifty years ago when he was a new wave wannabe rock star in a Glasgow band. Next year he hits the road for his first-ever live music tour. The dark synths, fuzzy guitars and noirish romanticism of a young rocker trapped in the body of a beloved television veteran will be on show in select venues across the UK for two weeks only next year. Peter comments, “I was in a band at art school, fired up by the punk explosion, we went out into the world in search of rock stardom, and well… I became an actor. But I never lost my love for music. And in recent years have produced two albums of original songs, ‘St.Christopher’ (2021) and this year’s ‘Sweet Illusions’. Recording, with all the advantages of the digital age is one thing, playing live is another, but I wanted to see if I could go out after all of these years and play live in front of an audience. Well let’s see what happens. I’ve lucked out with my band, a group of wonderful young musicians who have bravely come on board for the ride.’

Jordan Gray
Event Information
Jordan Gray: Is That A C*ck In Your Pocket, Or Are You Just Here To Kill Me? Following acclaimed runs in London and Edinburgh, the multi-award-winning star and creator of ITV’s Transaction hits the road with a guitar on her back, a bounty on her ballbag, and some very poorly written death threats in her DMs. When Jordan stripped off live on Channel 4 (and won a BAFTA in the process), bigots around the globe went ballistic. Luckily… so were her tits. Is the cost of success worth it? How do you live up to your own sky-high expectations? And most importantly, should you even be a comedian when your bum looks this good? Join Jordan as she explores all this and more in her rootinest, tootinest, shootinest hour of musical comedy yet. Edinburgh Fringe Best Show - Nominee Melbourne International Comedy Fest Best Show - Nominee Channel 4 Breakthrough Comedy Star - Winner NextUp Biggest Award In Comedy - Winner “Terrific... blazingly energetic” ★★★★ - The Telegraph “Lyrically dextrous - blisteringly funny” ★★★★ - The List “An emerging talent who is firing on all cylinders” ★★★★ - The Scotsman “Giving her all is clearly what she does best” ★★★★ - The Skinny “Hilarious and often emotional” ★★★★ - The I “Will stay with you long after you leave” ★★★★★ - Entertainment Now “Hilariously quick-witted ... raw and intimate” ★★★★ - Broadway Baby

Mermaid Chunky
Event Information
Brudenell Presents... With support from - Nylon Nyeshi “Stunning.” – Clash “A beautifully ritualistic trance.” - The Guardian “The most magical single of the year so far.” - KCRW’s Travis Holcombe Mermaid Chunky. It’s all in a name, sometimes. The danceable, costumed, curiosity rich duo of artists Freya Tate and Moina Moin are as imaginative as they profess. Or, to get more to the point, as we all need them to be. Freya and Moina are two visual artists and musicians from Stroud and South London, places where they importantly found communities (Stroud’s SVA and the capital’s Total Refreshment Centre) of like minded people just as willing to chase down an idea to its possibly illogical conclusion. And it is in the collective and the idea of participation that Mermaid Chunky really clicks. This is a party, a collective dance, made all the better with more: people, ideas, layers, kick drums, recorders, saxophones, frogs. To wit, the album’s first track and first single, “Céilí,” named after a traditional Scottish or Irish social gathering and dance, which builds from a simple recorder line into a swelling, warm burst of major chord dance music. Goosebumps or check your pulse. Further down the rabbit hole, “Chaperone” is almost boardwalk electro, like Fischerspooner on a ferris wheel; “Frogsporn” and “Nature Girl” are mucky, trippy dirges filled with stalactites of synth and squelch; “Tiny Gymnast” is a kaleidoscopic waltz into the night. Hold onto your seats, ladies and gentlemen. You might be wondering how we, DFA Records, all the way over in cynical Brooklyn, entered the picture. There was a day a few years ago, sun shining in full Springtime splendor, when James heard something while waiting for a coffee down the street from the office. It sounded simple yet deceptively complex: a dance track, but one where the one - that anchoring first beat in a measure - could be heard a thousand different ways. Frustrated and interested, he Shazamd the song, playing at the shop from an episode of Zakia’s Questing show on NTS, and brought it back to the office, where we all listened to it about fifty times. (The song was “Friends,” from Mermaid Chunky’s VEST EP, released in 2020. It led to an invitation to open for LCD at Brixton Academy in 2022. Mermaid Chunky has also played live alongside The Comet Is Coming, Alabaster Deplume, Snapped Ankles, and many others.) Thus began our search for Mermaid Chunky. A quest it has been and a quest it will always be.
