The beers are fresh, the pizzas are the tastiest and the vibes are chilled and happy in this warehouse district! We're super proud to bring you EVAN GREER one of the most radical folk-punk singers from the US who actually practices what she preaches and is involved in some amazing activist campaigns as well as being an inspiring queer parent - somehow they still find time to write and play songs, and we're buzzing to have them playing for us! They are on tour with POG from Brighton and local folk-punkers Chuck SJ + Efa Supertramp will also be supporting! IT'S GUNNA BE A BANGER MATE. \\ EVAN GREER // Evan Greer is a trans/genderqueer activist singer/songwriter, parent, and organizer based in Boston.

Chuck is well known for their gripping stage performance, unique guitar skills and brutal honesty.\\ POG // Pog is a 6 piece folk punk collective from Brighton. Driven by violin, cello, accordion and whatever else we can find, we occupy a strange bit of land somewhere between the politics of anarcho punk and the toe-tapping tweeness of Belle and Sebastian. We've spent the last 23 years playing everything from living rooms, libraries and cafes to squatted universities, gardens and Glastonbury (only once though)\\ EFA SUPERTRAMP // This Welsh folk-punk grrrl comes armed with a battered acoustic guitar and a powerful voice. She regularly tours across Europe – appearing at festivals, bars, squats, venues, living rooms and street corners to perform her songs in both Welsh and English. With just her guitar, some well-placed anger and a whole load of love to give she will bring a tear to your eye and some fire in your heart.NEW RIVER STUDIOS – 199 Eade Rd, London N4 1DNACCESSIBILITY INFO: New River Studios is a ground floor, wheelchair accessible venue with accessible toilet in the bar.
