Ho Ho Ho! Our next show will be our end of the year Christmas bash!

For our next show we will be partnering up with international promoters The Local for the tremendous The End Festival in Crouch End on the weekend of Nov 15th/16th. It’s like an English small town version of SXSW in the US, or, if you prefer, a scaled down version of The Camden Crawl that fits inside Crouch End.

A number of venues in Crouch End will host events all weekend with bands and artists from near and far converging to perform. Our event will take place in our regular haunt The Haberdashery on Fri Nov 15th. Performing on the night will be the fantastic Patch & The Giant, as well as the wonderful Worry Dolls, and unique singer songwriter Nathan Holme.

You can get single day or full weekend tickets right now (click here). The tickets will get you into every venue running events, either on the day of your choosing or throughout the whole weekend. If you hurry you may be able to grab an early bird weekend ticket here or here for a 40% discount!

For more info on our event, including artist profiles, see here. There are more details about the entire festival on The Local’s website here.

As the evenings draw in earlier and earlier, and winter approaches, you definitely need to be somewhere warm and friendly, listening to some great music. We (obviously) recommend our next event, which is at The Haberdashery in Crouch End on October 30th.

As always, we’ve scoured the city for the very best line up of folky artists, this time we have two wonderful duos and two solo artists, including our own Steve plinking out some new songs. There are more details on the night and all the performers here.

Advance tickets are available. £12 with meal or £4 music only. http://www.wegottickets.com/event/239738

We’d love to see you there!

After a short re-energising break, our next event is at The Haberdashery in Crouch End on October 2nd. We are VERY much looking forward to this line up of artists, comprising two fantastic solo acts and two wonderful groups. There are more details on the night and all the performers here.

Hello everyone.

With the closure of the Wilmington Arms we are currently taking a break from our main band night until we find a new venue that is right for the night.

In the mean time we’re still going to be doing our more intimate “unplugged” nights at The wonderful Haberdashery in Crouch End. We’re taking a little break for September and going on holiday, but our next shows will be on October 2nd and October 30th.

We also have a few other special one off shows in the pipeline for Autumn and Winter. We will post more details here when we have them.

Many thanks,
Steve & Nina
BTGR
