JOESEF
Rescheduled - OCT 24th 2021
Joesef Over 14s (under 16s with an adult) _______ “Heavenly, impeccable, masterful, soul-stirring” – Vogue “An otherworldly feast” – Clash Magazine Rarely does a singer arrive on the scene fully formed, self-written and produced, with a sound all of his own which instantly connects with audiences in the way Glasgow’s Joesef has done. Having only played his first ever live gig in April, Joesef rounded off 2019 with a sold out, 1300 capacity home town show and inclusion on the influential BBC Sound Of 2020 list, Joesef has quickly become a favourite of tastemakers at radio and press alike. Joesef’s songs – such as debut single Limbo, BBC Radio 1 favourite Loverboy, and EP title track Play Me Something Nice – navigate feelings of first love and loss, including the breakdown of his first relationship, “and how complicated it became for both of us trying to navigate through life without each other.” Joesef adds, “it’s about a sort of nostalgia and love that continues to linger after the dust has settled.” The single itself “is about being lonely and seeking comfort in the familiarity of each other even though everything has fallen apart.” More new music is on the horizon but meanwhile, don’t miss Joesef live at La Belle Angele on October 10th 2021
THE UNDERTONES
PLUS BILLY LIAR
OCT 9th
The Undertones emerged from Derry, Northern Ireland in 1974, the result of five friends learning how to play basic rock and roll. Even by the standards of that decade, Derry was not the rock and roll capital of anywhere and with no live bands worth watching, they learned their trade by listening to mail order records, reading one of the few copies of NME that made it to Derry but most of all from listening to John Peel’s show on BBC Radio One. Practicing in their bedrooms eventually led to the band recording ‘Teenage Kicks’ in 1978 on Terri Hooley’s Good Vibrations label in Belfast. A copy was sent to the legendary DJ John Peel and he liked the track so much he played it twice in a row on his radio show! Eventually signing to Sire Records, ‘Teenage Kicks’ was re-released, resulting in the band’s first appearance on Top of the Pops. Over the next five years, John O’Neill, his younger brother Damian, Feargal Sharkey, Billy Doherty and Michael Bradley crafted numerous punkpop gems and would go on to release 13 singles and 4 studio LP’s, before disbanding in May 1983. The Undertones re-formed in 1999 with singer Paul McLoone, subsequently recorded 2 new LP’s and have been touring regularly ever since. They played Glastonbury Festival in June 2005, recently marked their 40th anniversary, and have just completed a 46 date, 2019 world tour.

Live Burial have toured the UK and the mainland consistently since their inception, playing on many high profile bills and festivals.
