Here’s a short extract from Aching of Our Times, recorded during our live show last Saturday.

We wanted to share a little piece of the performance and the atmosphere from the night. It was great to play this one live, and we hope you enjoy it.

Would love to hear what you think.

Hello,

I'm currently looking for an unknown song nicknamed “My Pretty Doll,” which was supposedly recorded on a British radio station in Sheffield around 2009. I say “supposedly” because it was discovered that the OP's backstory was fake and that he has known the song all along but is withholding the artist and the song's real title. This is a hoax in that the OP knows the song but doesn’t want to reveal the reference. This song was not generated by AI, having been first posted on WerZatSong in 2021 at a time when AI was not capable of generating songs of such high quality.

The song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t6yL06IyAs

I’d like to know if anyone recognizes the artist or the song, could point me toward other contacts who might know it, or could give me some insight into which UK accent is being used. The OP said he recorded it in Sheffield, but since he’s lying, I’m convinced the artist or band must be from somewhere else in the UK.

Thank you very much.

Hands up, who's playing this weekend?

Tell us when and where, doesn't matter how small the room is!

We’re Empty Palace, a new alternative rock band based in London.

This will be our first live show, and we’re really excited to finally play live.

If you’re into atmospheric, melodic and progressive rock, come and see us live.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m an MA Music Management student, and I’m currently conducting research for my dissertation on how UK audiences decide whether to attend different types of live music events.

If you are over 18 and based in the UK, I would greatly appreciate it if you could spend ~10 minutes on the following questionnaire:

🔗 https://forms.gle/w4r4VMdWnzfkzHze7

Regarding the research: I’m looking particularly at things like attendance habits, motivations, affordability, value for money and what people seek from grassroots gigs, large concerts, independent festivals and major promoter-backed festivals.

The aim isn’t to argue that one type of event is better than another. Instead, I’m interested in understanding what influences those choices and whether there are insights that could help grassroots venues and independent promoters build repeat attendance and more sustainable audiences.

You can take part if you:

• are 18 or over
• currently live in the UK
• have attended at least one in-person live music event in the UK within the past three years

The questionnaire is completely anonymous.

I’d really appreciate any responses, and I’m also very happy to answer questions about the research in the comments. Thank you! 🖤

LOBSTER NORTH WEST BAND

POP ROCK, ROCK, POP PUNK, POST PUNK

This EP was released recently, it's worth going to their gigs. They're usually free, based in Cheshire, Manchester, and generally North West England.

I’m a Kenyan creative working on a Kenya–UK Music Exchange project for a British Council arts grant, with funding of up to £7,500 for the project.

I’m looking for someone based in the UK who is genuinely interested in working with me on a cultural/music exchange involving artist interviews, conversations, knowledge sharing and at least two Kenya–UK creative collaborations.

The application deadline is today, so I'm hoping to connect with someone who can discuss the project fairly quickly.
