About this event

Golden Toad is on Friday 11 December 2026 at The Workshop Cafe, Oxford, with doors at 19:00. Tickets go on sale Fri 30 Oct, 17:00.

Golden Toad is the brainchild of Al Brown (ex-Japanese Television). Rising up from the swamplands of East London. It sees him fuse krautrock beats with electronic soundscapes, psychedelic melodies, and jazz inspired progressions. All drenched in a serious doosing of revered heavy vocals. Early champions include BBC 6 music's Lauren Laverne, Nemone, Tom Ravenscroft, Em Pilbeam, Gideon Coe, NTS, and John Doran, founder of the Quietus magazine. Swamp wonk at the edges of the earth. Tune in.

Lydons

The Workshop Cafe · Oxford

Workshop Café are thrilled to host both of these incredible out-of-town sonic duos. Lydons is an infectious five-piece alt-rock band from the Black Country, formed in 2023. Their sound blends Nirvana's grunge influences with the British feel of the Stone Roses, complemented by heartfelt lyrics about mental health and human connection. The band is currently preparing to release their debut EP next year. Wall Street, Southampton’s resident "autotune vampire," embodies the dark streets and glowing dock lights of their home city. Sonically drawing from Interpol, The Voidz, and Beach House, their live lineup features duelling guitars and heavy vocal effects that make their music both immediate and memorable. The band was also recently featured on Huw Stephens' BBC Radio 6 Music show.

DJ Nights: Mi-Soul Radio Christmas

Boisdale of Canary Wharf · London

Dinner & Table Reservations from 5pm. DJs from 7pm-2am Boisdale has Jools Holland as Patron of Music, a live programme that runs seven nights a week and a NEXO sound system installed because the music demands it. Mi-Soul Radio has Gordon Mac MBE, Kiss FM in its DNA and thirty years of soul, house and R&B running through everything it does. On Friday nights the two come together on the first floor and the result is exactly what you would hope for. The selectors rotate through the Mi-Soul roster each week, which keeps the sets fresh without ever dropping the standard. Deep soulful house one Friday, classic R&B the next, but always played by someone who has a genuine relationship with the music rather than a playlist and a laptop. Start on the heated terrace with a cocktail overlooking Cabot Square, move inside when the night builds and let the sound system do the rest. First Floor Bar & Heated Garden Terrace Nestled in Cabot Square and overlooking the fountain with the Canary Wharf skyline beyond, the first floor bar and heated garden terrace is a destination in its own right. Fine wines, premium spirits and expertly crafted cocktails, with a selection that covers everything from rar...
