Nottingham Gig Buddies

Had a listen to Masca a while ago, and was very impressed - it was only last week I discovered that one of the members used to be in Soeur who were also excellent!

It's a Buttonpusher event, so as usual, it's a wonderfully varied lineup, with Not Soup from Birmingham and locals Cough Drops who I saw a while ago at a INFL Ruby Tuesday night.

Advance tickets have sold out for this, but there will be a few left on the door - we'll plan on getting there early enough to get tickets earlier or pop over while we're in the pub!

I've set up a group chat at
MASCA @ JT 12/12

Advance tickets were £12, might be a little more on the door

It's been a while since I've seen Gaz with his band, The Company Of Thieves - I think the last time was 2021 back in Bristol!

These aren't regular things - I think it's a 7 piece band, so it's rare for them to all get together - this time, he's bringing Heartwork with him again - this is Dan's last tour as Heartwork, so should be a special night all round! Not sure if he's going to be playing with a full band, would be great if he was!

  West country based Gaz Brookfield is predominantly a solo musician. Although, on occasion you will find him on stage with his band, The Company of Thieves.
  Since winning Acoustic Magazine's singer/songwriter of the year back in 2010 he has spent his time on the road, building a strong and loyal following all over the UK and beyond.
  He was the first independent musician to sell out Bristol's, The Fleece, (450 cap), and The Bierkeller, (750 cap), and SWX, (1000 cap).
  Gaz has an impressive back catalogue of nine studio albums. The latest of which, Morning Walking Club, went straight in at #1 in the Official UK Folk Album Charts, #3 in the Official UK Indie Breaker Charts, #6 in the Official UK Download Charts, #10 in the Official UK Indie Album Charts, and even #37 in the Official UK Album Sales Charts.
  Not a bad result for this fiercely independent musician, with no record label, no manager, and no agent - just a guitar, a van, and a steadfastly belligerent refusal to give i

I saw The Grey at The Mist Rolling Inn a few months back and thought they were really good - so I'm looking forward to seeing them again for this headline show!
All are very welcome to come along!

More info about the lineup...

THE GREY
Instrumental three-piece, signed to Majestic Mountain Records.
“Cambridge post-metallers The Grey make (largely instrumental) music that weighs down like few others - marrying the pummelling feel of a band like Neurosis or Karma To Burn to big themes with striking nuance and colour.
It’s truly awesome.”
Kerrang

BODACH
Two piece Riff Worshipers from Rotherham.
True Fuckin Grit.

DIASPAR
Based out of Nottingham - play prog and post-rock influenced riffs that take listeners on a wide-ranging sonic journey.
Just as at home playing ambient and electronic inspired soundscapes as all out heaviness, their music is made to be heard live.
