Perfect Sunday afternoon! Thanks to everyone who attended

What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. @alisoncotton.bsky.social and Mark Nicholas performing mesmerising drone-folk with voice, viola, harmonium and percussion. Just wonderful, and do love a matinee. At The Tin in Coventry and thanks to @joesors.bsky.social for putting it on.

Second announcement of the day and me @justdroppedin.bsky.social and @soniccathedral.bsky.social are teaming up for a double bill featuring The Early Years and Sennen

Something a little different... Pete will be performing new and old songs from his repertoire in both electric and acoustic settings, accompanied by his wife Mila a burlesque performer, singer and percussionist. The idea is simple - live music, vintage glamour and real people in the same room...

New Announcement (last gig before JDI summer break)... neutrals - San Fran's most hated Post-Punk/Indie Pop trio Silk Cuts- C86 Influenced Jangle Pop from Exeter Modern Literature - Birmingham's favourite Post-Punk miserablism merchants 🎟️ - linktr.ee/SinkOrSwimPr... @justdroppedin.bsky.social

Tenebrous LIAR always delivers the goods ! Steve Gullick is Coventry royalty and always great to welcome him back 👌

Just Announced: The Klittens + Special Guests This five piece combines their love for pop music and dark sentiments with a punk ethos. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of artists they've crafted a sound that's truly and twistedly their own! 🎟️ - linktr.ee/SinkOrSwimPr...

Annabelle Chairlegs makes music that feels lived in. Gritty, tender, sometimes funny, sometimes heavy, always honest. Born in New Jersey and now based in Austin, her songs move between fuzzed out edges and dreamlike reflection. ---- Freya Rose is an Indie Sad Pop Conessiour originally from Cov!

Thrum invited @stoneanthem.bsky.social to open up for them this July over at @justdroppedin.bsky.social Tickets flying out, get involved 👌

Last night's @joesors.bsky.social Radhika gig at @justdroppedin.bsky.social was pure pure joy. How many singers are brave enough to cover Cocteau Twins? And utterly utterly smash it... 😍 Cool AF support from @stoneanthem.bsky.social with the best fuzzed up Baby Honey cover ever 😍😍

Joe Colombo at your service 🫡

Just Announced: Maria BC + Guests Maria BC is a classically trained vocalist, a dexterous guitarist, and a songwriter with an innate gift for vast, stately melodies, but the defining strength of their music is the mood: an overarching melancholy that shadows everything like heavy storm clouds.

First time I've ever been called "Joe Colombo" via an artist on stage 🕵️🕵️🕵️ Just one more thing.... Absolutely fabulous gig 🙏
