SUMMARY:Rachel Stamp Acoustic (ft Will Crewdson) - Cardiff
DESCRIPTION:David Ryder Prangley first met Will Crewdson in 1994 after moving from Dinas Powys in South Wales to London in search of musicians to bring to life an imaginary band called RACHEL STAMP. \nInstantly hitting it off over a shared love of artists such as Redd Kross\, The Nymphs\, Prince and Warren Zevon and filmmakers such as Lindsay Anderson\, Russ Mayer and Kathryn Bigelow\, the duo quickly hit the UK music scene (joined by synth player Shaheena Dax and drummer Robin Guy) with their unique and colourful brand of androgynous Glam Punk\, releasing the albums HYMNS FOR STRANGE CHILDREN\, STAMPAX and OCEANS OF VENUS and securing a following that would see them become the first unsigned band to sell out London’s legendary Astoria Theatre. \nIn 2024 Will and David decided to take things back to their roots and started performing stripped down versions of RACHEL STAMP’s varied catalogue as a duo with David on vocals and acoustic guitar and Will on electric guitar and backing vocals. Their first show quickly sold out leading to more UK dates are being added. The gigs are all unique\, with set lists changing and stories about the songs being told. \nBe prepared for an intimate evening with one of the UK’s most individual and cherished bands.

SUMMARY:Jim Bob + Gaye Bykers on Acid (w/Will + Joe) - London
DESCRIPTION:Jim Bob is one oil painting exhibition short of being Britain’s greatest living renaissance man. He had fourteen top 40 singles and four top ten albums with Carter USM\, toured the world and headlined Glastonbury. \nHe’s released twelve solo albums\, written songs for Ian Dury and for a Barbican production of Mark Ravenhill’s ’Dick Whittington & His Cat’. In 2010 he made his Edinburgh Fringe debut in the musical ‘Gutted’. Jim is an author too. Six novels published and two memoirs \nRight now Jim is focusing on music. His last two albums\, ‘Pop Up Jim Bob’ and ‘Who Do We Hate Today’ were both top forty smashes\, his ‘Beach Ready Ep’ was Number 1 in both the Vinyl and Physical sales Singles charts\, and when his manager Marc heard his latest album ‘Thanks For Reaching Out’\, he sent Jim this message ‘I bet this is how Tony Defries felt when Bowie sent him Ziggy Stardust’. Jim Bob has called the album the third in a trilogy. That seems to suggest something new will follow it. So if you see him coming out of an art supplies shop carrying an easel and a large canvas\, you know where he’s going. \n+ special guests Gaye Bykers on Acid\, whose current line-up includes two alumni of Adam Ant’s band: Will Crewdson (AKA Billy boy Byker) on guitar and Joe Holweger (AKA Baxter Byker) on drums\, along with original members Robber and Mary Byker.

SUMMARY:The Monochrome Set - West Hampstead\, London
DESCRIPTION:The band features original Monochrome Set members Bid (guitar/vocals) and Andy Warren (bass)\, with Dave Morgan (drums)\, Athen Ayren (keyboard) and the return of “Foz” on guitar. \nThe Monochrome Set formed in 1978\, and were heavily influential in the post-punk scene that evolved after the initial scorched earth of punk. \nThe band’s early releases were on the legendary Rough Trade Label before signing with Virgin offshoot Din Disc. They also released several albums on the Cherry Red label\, making a notable appearance on that labels’ well known “Pillows and Prayers” compilation. \nThough The Monochrome Set split in 1985 the next decade saw several reunions for both live gigs and further studio recordings. After a hiatus of over a decade the band reformed full time in 2010 and have since toured all over the UK\, Europe\, Japan and the USA\, whilst also releasing eight new\, critically acclaimed\, studio albums. \nNow in their 48th year\, they are beginning a new series of gigs promoting their new album and playing songs from throughout that time.

SUMMARY:Marco Pirroni in conversation - Louder Than Words Festival\, Manchester
DESCRIPTION:Join MARCO PIRRONI – lead guitarist & co-songwriter of ADAM & THE ANTS – in conversation\, focused on his long awaited autobiography. \nFor the first time\, Marco tells his side of the story that has been long documented by others. The book covers Marco’s punk roots and focuses on the glory years of the Ants before their implosion in 1982. He talks frankly about his complicated relationship with Adam as well as friends and luminaries from the punk scene including Sid Vicious who was often found at Marco’s parents’ house enjoying a cup of tea and getting his washing done. \nLong regarded as an authoritative voice on the punk movement Marco now brings his wit and hard-won insights to deliver this brutally honest\, viciously funny and deeply affecting memoir. \nCopies of Marco’s book will be available to purchase at the Festival and there’ll be a dedicated book signing after his event.

SUMMARY:The Monochrome Set - Bristol
DESCRIPTION:UPDATED EVENT (Previously scheduled for 22/5/26) \nThe Monochrome Set return to Bristol\, playing The Louisiana for the first time. The band feature original Monochrome Set members Bid (guitar/vocals) and Andy Warren (bass) with Athen Ayren on keyboards and Stephen Gilchrist on drums. \nThe Monochrome Set formed in 1978\, and were heavily influential in the post-punk scene that evolved after the initial scorched earth of punk. The band’s early releases were on the legendary Rough Trade Label before signing with Virgin offshoot Din Disc. They also released several albums on the Cherry Red label\, making a notable appearance on that labels’ well known “Pillows and Prayers” compilation. \nThough The Monochrome Set split in 1985 the next decade saw several reunions for both live gigs and further studio recordings. After a hiatus of over a decade the band reformed full time in 2010 and have since toured all over the UK\, Europe\, Japan and the USA\, whilst also releasing eight\, new\, critically acclaimed\, studio albums. \nNow in their 48th year\, they are beginning a new series of gigs promoting their new album and playing songs from throughout that time. \nCANDYMOUSE\nEver wondered what the love child of 80’s indie also-rans Mousefolk and the Candy Darlings would sound like? Well\, wonder no longer.

SUMMARY:Your Money or Your Life: Marco Pirroni in Conversation - Liverpool
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Marco Pirroni as he discusses his autobiography\, ‘Your Money or Your Life’. \nAs the 1980s ushered in a bright new pop future\, defiantly shrugging off the hostility and austerity of punk\, no band did more to sculpt and represent this flamboyant new musical landscape than Adam and the Ants. \nTheir music and image thundered across the charts\, our TV sets and bedroom walls\, searing into the imaginations of a generation. At the heart of Ant Music stood Marco Pirroni\, providing the powerhouse of sounds and songs behind their dazzling frontman\, both as lead guitarist and co-writer of all of the band’s classic material – including number one singles ‘Prince Charming’ and the Ivor Novello-winning ‘Stand and Deliver’. \nMarco Pirroni played guitar with the first incarnation of Siouxsie and the Banshees and was in the line-up for their debut gig at the 100 Club in 1976 with future Sex Pistol Sid Vicious on drums. He was a lynchpin in the UK punk scene but it was alongside Adam Ant that Marco found untold fame and riches. \nFor the first time\, Marco tells his side of the story that has been long documented by others. The book covers Marco’s punk roots and focuses on the glory years of the Ants before their implosion in 1982. He talks frankly about his complicated relationship with Adam as well as friends and luminaries from the punk scene including Sid Vicious who was often found at Marco’s parents’ house enjoying a cup of tea and getting his washing done. \nLong regarded as an authoritative voice on the punk movement Marco now brings his wit and hard-won insights to deliver this brutally honest\, viciously funny and deeply affecting memoir. \nMarco Pirroni said: ‘Now is a good a time as any – with the 50th anniversary of that 100 Club punk festival looming – to get my story down on paper: from those initial fumblings around Malcolm and Vivienne’s shop as a very young teenager\, to playing with the Banshees\, and seeing those early Pistols gigs before they’d become a household name\, and finally to the huge success I had with Adam in the early ‘80s. The period covered in the book is roughly 1972-1982 and takes in glam/punk/New Romantic through to pop stardom and includes a cast of people who mattered in London throughout that period – better known to me as my friends. You could say I’ve never moved on from that decade but I never will\, and\, in a lot of ways\, I’m happy with that.’ \nCopies of Marco’s book will be available to purchase at the event from Linghams Bookstore and there’ll be a dedicated book signing after the talk. Marco is in conversation with former musician turned award-winning and bestselling author\, Daniel Rachel. \nMarco Pirroni is a songwriter\, guitarist and producer. \nHe teamed up with a little-known punk outfit – Adam and the Ants – in 1980 and within a year the band was on the brink of worldwide acclaim. An integral part of the band\, Marco acted as lead guitarist and co-songwriter\, penning five number one singles and a further four top ten hits\, with Adam. The two albums he co-wrote for Adam and the Ants – Kings of The Wild Frontier and Prince Charming – both went to number one. When the Ants disbanded in 1983\, Marco remained as Adam’s co-writer and musical director\, starting straight off with a number one single (Goody Two Shoes) and album (Friend or Foe)\, followed by nine more top twenty hits. Goody Two Shoes gave Marco his third Ivor Novello award\, having picked up two already for Stand and Deliver. Marco’s work with Adam left an indelible commercial and creative stamp across the eighties and pop music in general. They sold more than six million records worldwide\, scoring number ones in Australia\, Germany\, Greece\, Sweden\, Israel\, Japan and the UK. \nDaniel Rachel is a former musician turned award-winning and bestselling author. His previous books include Too Much Too Young: Rude Boys\, Racism and the Soundtrack of a Generation (aTimes\, Uncut\, Rough Trade US and Resident Musicbook of the year) and Isle of Noises: Conversations with Great British Songwriters (a Guardian and NME book of the year). He lives in London. \nPlease note museum galleries are closed during special events.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED The Monochrome Set + ExTC - Canterbury
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED AND WILL BE RESCHEDULED TO 2027. \nDouble Bill: ExTC + The Monochrome Set \nAGMP present two of the undisputed legends of original British pop music on one outstanding double bill. \nFor almost four decades\, XTC fans could only dream of witnessing the sensational XTC classic songbook played live. That dream has now become a reality. XTC’s legendary drummer\, Terry Chambers\, is back on the road with his band EXTC (named and approved by XTC frontman\, Andy Partridge).

The band’s early releases were on the legendary Rough Trade Label before signing with Virgin offshoot Din Disc. They also released several albums on the Cherry Red label\, making a notable appearance on that labels’ well known “Pillows and Prayers” compilation. \nThis is a standing gig.

SUMMARY:The Monochrome Set - Leicester
DESCRIPTION:The Monochrome Set features original members Bid (guitar/vocals) and Andy Warren (bass) with Athen Ayren on keyboards and Stephen Gilchrist on drums. \nThe Monochrome Set formed in 1978\, and were heavily influential in the post-punk scene that evolved after the initial scorched earth of punk. The band’s early releases were on the legendary Rough Trade Label before signing with Virgin offshoot Din Disc. They also released several albums on the Cherry Red label\, making a notable appearance on that labels’ well known “Pillows and Prayers” compilation. \nThough The Monochrome Set split in 1985 the next decade saw several reunions for both live gigs and further studio recordings. After a hiatus of over a decade the band reformed full time in 2010 and have since toured all over the UK\, Europe\, Japan and the USA\, whilst also releasing eight new\, critically acclaimed\, studio albums. Now in their 48th year\, they are beginning a new series of gigs promoting their new album and playing songs from throughout that time.

SUMMARY:The Monochrome Set - Preston
DESCRIPTION:UPDATED EVENT (Previously scheduled for 10/7/26) \nTHE MONOCHROME SET\nA return to one of their favourite venues\, The Continental\, for THE MONOCHROME SET! The band features original Monochrome Set members Bid (guitar/vocals) and Andy Warren (bass) with Athen Ayren on keyboards and Stephen Gilchrist on drums. \nThe Monochrome Set formed in 1978\, and were heavily influential in the post-punk scene that evolved after the initial scorched earth of punk. The band’s early releases were on the legendary Rough Trade Label before signing with Virgin offshoot Din Disc. They also released several albums on the Cherry Red label\, making a notable appearance on that labels’ well known “Pillows and Prayers” compilation. \nThough The Monochrome Set split in 1985 the next decade saw several reunions for both live gigs and further studio recordings. After a hiatus of over a decade the band reformed full time in 2010 and have since toured all over the UK\, Europe\, Japan and the USA\, whilst also releasing eight new\, critically acclaimed\, studio albums. Now in their 48th year\, they are beginning a new series of gigs promoting their new album and playing songs from throughout that time. \n14 ICED BEARS\n14 ICED BEARS started out being dismissed by a jaded music press as a generic twee outfit but over time developed into an undeniably ground-breaking indie band whose psychedelic excursions set the template for the early 90s shoegaze sound\, which is enjoying a huge renaissance today. \nFormed in Brighton in 1985\, by Robert Sekula and Nick Emery the band featured a shifting line-up of musicians across their initial seven-year run\, centred on songwriter and vocalist Rob and guitarist/songwriter Kevin Canham. \nTheir jangly indie pop was characterised by a fuzzy protopunk-influenced guitar sound\, and saw them receive modest critical acclaim in Britain’s music press and approval from John Peel who requested a couple of sessions from the band. The group released a handful of singles for a variety of labels\, including “Come Get Me” for the legendary Sarah Records\, and two full-length albums: the eponymous 14 Iced Bears (1988)\, and Wonder (1991). \nAfter their LPs were reissued by the boutique Optic Nerve label\, 14 Iced Bears reformed in 2010 and toured the US east coast\, the US west coast in 2011\, as well as some concerts in London and Indietracks festival before fading into the background again\, although front-man Rob Sekula continued to play solo and put out occasional singles. But over the last couple of years there has been a resurgence of activity from the Bears\, and they have played a number of Pop Fests in the UK and Europe finding new fans who recognise their status as indie-pop greats. \nPLUS DJ DAVE CHAMBERS
