What a treat!\nThis will be a night not to be missed but don’t just take our word for it….\nPraise for ‘No Public House Talk’\n“The Last of the Lovely Days have released one of the indie pop albums of the year with ‘No Public House Talk’.” PENNYBLACK\n"What might have happened if Ki rsty MacColl had collaborated with choice players in the ‘80s-to-‘90s guitar-led underground crowd. Replete with resourceful angles and arrangem ents\, as well as thoughtful songcraft." FREQ\n"A lovely jangly guitar pop beast of an album wrapped lovingly with charming melodies and hooks that will linger and help your day be a much more enjoyable experience." MONOLI TH COCKTAIL\n"Spiky indie pop\, this release feels like a first in spirit\ ; lyrically sharp and musically spry." SHINDIG!\n“The melodic confidence of The Smiths or maybe the Yardbirds\, filtered through a 21st century le ns\, the album picks carefully from the indie pop spectrum to create a sat isfyingly complete listen." RnR (****)\n \;\nLOVEJOY\nReleasing a stri ng of well received albums and singles during the late 90s and early 00’ s\, Lovejoy made a surprise return in 2024 with their acclaimed new album ‘…And It’s Love!’ This was followed swiftly by a reissue of their debut album and a collaboration with Creation Records’ Alan McGee on the ir 2025 single ‘Let There Be Love’. With a new album and further reiss ues in the pipeline\, this is a rare solo performance by the little known but highly rated Lovejoy frontman Dick Preece.\n \;\nKEIRON PHELAN &am p\; PEACE SIGNS\nKeiron Phelan &\; Peace Signs (or\, Peace Sign\, in th is case) return to The Folkore Rooms in a stripped back\, two piece line u p. Keiron and Jack present an intimate version of the rolling Peace Signs baroque\, chamber pop sound\, featuring some of their less frequently perf ormed songs. Shades of John Cale and Kevin Ayers\, a suggestion of Marc an d a soupçon of Harley\, with Neil Hannon lurking just around the corner.
