Superfriends

JT Soar · Nottingham

Giant Deer are proud to present Superfriends at JT Soar on 28th October! Supported by Fern Veh + Lou Strong. Superfriends have never been shy about wearing their feelings on their sleeves. Their big and bright punk songs, sounding somewhere between Jeff Rosenstock and The Mountain Goats, will hit you like a joyous shot in the arm! They tackle such themes as friendship, identity, and just having a really great time with your pals. Fern Veh is a collaborative indie project led by Ada Gilfoyle, taking influence from the likes of bedroom pop, post-rock, and early 00s indie rock. Expansive, shimmering walls of sound meet intimate hushed vocals, layered harmonies, and delicate melodies. FFO: Broken Social Scene, Carissa's Weird, TWIABP, Foxing, Sufjan Stevens Lou Strong is the stripped-back folk-punk project from Eloise of Cheap Dirty Horse. She channels all the rowdy queer trash folk-punk energy you expect, but with a direct focus on personal story telling £10 ADV All Ages Show BYOB JT ACCESSABILITY INFO..

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...
