Evie Hilyer-Ziegler:
Evie is a London-based fiddler, composer, and multi-instrumentalist known for her intuitive playing and warm, gritty sound. In recent months, she has been exploring a repertoire which traces her family history through Scandinavia, America, and the British Isles. Evie also writes and performs with her projects Fen and Cusk.

Valeria Pozzo:
Valeria Pozzo is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who moves fluidly between genres, drawing inspiration from artists such as Joni Mitchell, Jeff Buckley, Emiliana Torrini, and Becca Stevens. Her deeply personal lyrics explore themes of family, relationships, and distance with quiet strength and poignant clarity. In 2023, she released her self-produced debut EP Circles, a reflective journey through cycles of stability and upheaval shaped by a search for connection, acceptance, and healing. Valeria is also an active violinist, performing in the UK and internationally, and is part of MAAR, a collaboration with Icelandic artists Ösp and Helga Ragnars.

Brook Pridemore, Finbar Ansbe & Lou Strong

Brook Pridemore

Alternately sounding like Jonathan Richman fronting Sunn O))) and Grimes using the cheapest gear imaginable, Brooklyn Antifolk mainstay Brook Pridemore has been usually on the road since 2004. Sometimes pounding on an acoustic guitar, other times running around the stage backed by a 404, BP is a consummate performer and has played with many credible DIY artists including Apes Of The State, Pat The Bunny / Friends In Real Life, Boom Boom Racoon, Jeffery Lewis, Ceschi, Myles Bullen and more. They are currently putting the finishing touches on their 8th album, Only I Can Prevent Forest Fires which is set for release 30th Jan 2026.

Lou Strong
Lou Strong is a folk-punk songwriter making loud messy tunes about living through it. Best known for Cheap Dirty Horse, her solo work is raw and personal with stories about trans lives, fear, love, and trying to raise a kid in a world that keeps coming for you.

Finbar Ansbe
Finbar Ansbe is the solo project of one of the many songwriters of Queer-Trash Folk-Punk band Cheap Dirty Horse. They sing rowdy punk songs with their acoustic guitar and eat a lot of pizza.

Tickets are £10/£5 and are available here

Live Music - The Funz & Dodo Museum

The Funz is a musical collective consisting primarily of Alexander Borland (a Scottish whelk hunter), Daniel Potter (a Thamesian lock-keeper), and Soren Brothers (a Canadian limnologist). Named after a puffball spore cloud affecting certain Devonshire villages, the Funz formed most notably in the Isle of Iona, Scotland, where Borland and Potter began recording and releasing albums in the 1990s, and where they met Brothers. Although the three have never lived in the same place, the Funz have released roughly 70 albums, and toured prolifically around the world, including far-flung places such as Japan, Morocco, Germany, Bosnia, Portugal, Romania, Ontario, and Utah. Most recently, Borland and Potter have released music as a contributing part of the "Folklore Tapes" series in the UK.

We're Dodo Museum, a duo who've been writing bedroom dreampop together since 2023. Our sound pushes into new territory by weaving in the sounds and languages we grew up with. Leo (guitarist/producer) brings his Chilean roots through Andean instruments like charango and quena, while Yuki (singer) weaves in Cantonese from Hong Kong. The lyrics lean into melancholy but leave room for light and hope, and a lot of what we write comes from feeling like outsiders and trying to find a place to belong. Bath, with its slower pace and rolling countryside, gives us a sense of calm that seeps into what we make. We've played shows across the UK and Hong Kong. Our last single received support from BBC Radio 6 Music, and across our releases we've been added to Spotify editorial playlists including Gentle and +852 Rising.
