SUMMARY:CVC - Yellow Arch
DESCRIPTION:CVC are back with ‘Silver Blues’\, the first single from their forthcoming album of the same name. The release comes two weeks before the band are due to play a headline show at The Deaf Institute in Manchester as part of Chris Hawkins’ Awesome Friends series. \nFormed in 2020\, CVC – short for Church Village Collective – comprise Dave Bassey\, Francesco Orsi\, Elliot Bradfield\, Ben Thorne and Tom Fry. Their debut album\, Get Real\, arrived in 2023\, hand-in-hand with acclaim as one of NME’s 100 Ones To Watch (and signing off with a Welsh Music Prize nomination). 10 million streams later and with playlist support across BBC Radio 2 and 6Music\, the metamorphic outfit from the beautifully tough valleys now land a right hook on the nose of pretence with the album they’d always wanted to make. \nDave Bassey always imagined “Silver Blues” as an album opener. “It’s got the harmonies\, got the solos and got the synthesizers. I was thinking of an opener like on Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band\, that thing of addressing the listener directly\,” he says. “I just wanted it to fucking smash open the doors\, basically.”  \nRecorded with producer Ash Workman\, who has collaborated with the likes of Christine and the Queens\, Metronomy and Ghostpoet\, “Silver Blues” is about setting aside your worries and making the most of the time that’s yours. “It came from a time when I was working 12-hour shifts and being knackered all the time\,” Dave explains. “I’d have two days off a week where I would just be really up for recording. I’d start every morning by cleaning the whole house\, which is where the lines about the ‘silver broom’ and stuff come from\, and then sit at the piano and do the recording stuff all day.”  \n“Silver Blues” is released Wednesday 7th October 2026 via Verdigris Records. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Rob Lamberti (Foundry) - Rescheduled
DESCRIPTION:Rob Lamberti presents Perfectly George\, a tribute to George Michael and Wham! at Foundry this Christmas Time! \nNot only does Rob Lamberti sound like George\, his resemblance is so great that when Rob appeared as George on Stars in Their Eyes in 1994\, the programmes make-up department had to ‘tone down’ his natural appearance before the ‘transformation’ took place\, so as not to give away who Rob would be impersonating. \nRob is back in Sheffield hunting a 6th sold out show in a row! \n \n

SUMMARY:Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music) Live at The Greystones
DESCRIPTION:Chuck Ragan is best known as co-frontman of Hot Water Music\, but his career has also spanned acclaimed solo releases\, the influential Revival Tour\, and even a successful fly-fishing business in California. Across everything he does\, honesty and authenticity remain at the core. \nHis new album\, Love And Lore\, marks his first solo release in ten years. Originally conceived in 2016\, the record faced numerous delays due to the pandemic\, family commitments\, and other challenges before finally being completed in 2023. The result is a collection that pushes beyond Ragan’s folk roots\, embracing richer arrangements and new sonic territory while retaining the heartfelt songwriting that has defined his career. \nFeaturing contributions from Todd Beene\, George Rebelo\, and Spencer Duncan\, Love And Lore explores themes of family\, relationships\, personal struggle\, and finding solace in nature. It’s a deeply reflective and emotionally resonant album that showcases Ragan’s continued growth as a songwriter and musician.

SUMMARY:Hayley Ellis (Sheffield Plate)
DESCRIPTION:Once upon a time\, Hayley Ellis was in a girlband. She had it all\, a fringe full of inset hairspray\, a lace glove and a dream. It was the 90s and she was sure her band was going to be the next big thing. Fast forward some years later\, the fringe has flopped and the only gloves she wears is an oven mitt.  But what if she’d made it? Who would she be today? A well-adjusted mum who invested wisely and does the school run? A wellness guru flogging labia flavoured incense sticks? Or a washed-up has been calling the paps every time she goes to the Tesco just so she can scream “Why won’t you people let me live my life!?” \nJoin ex-popstar Hayley for an hour of joyous retrospection on body image\, Smash Hits \nmagazine and an indoor skydiving debacle that’ll convince you some dreams are better left in the past. An hour of so-tragic-it’s-funny nostalgia\, from your favourite no-singing\, no-dancing funny girl.

SUMMARY:Sophie Duker (The Steamworks)
DESCRIPTION:Taskmaster Champion\, Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer Nominee and retired sugar daughter Sophie Duker is back with a brand-new 2027 stand-up tour\, ‘Hot Beef Injection’. \nIn her latest hour\, Sophie dares to get both sexy and political\, reflecting on hypermasculinity\, heavy-handed handymen and that old-chestnut Would You Rather: ‘Man or Bear?’. Hot Beef Injection reckons with the primal fear driving Duker’s distrust of heterosexual he/hims\, and out of a challenging comedy club encounter a new question emerges: what would she say if she spoke to men\, instead of shutting them out? \n“Obscenely good… Charisma to burn” Rolling Stone \n“extremely funny” ★★★★ \nThe Scotsman “she is clearly going places” ★★★★ Evening Standard

SUMMARY:Chloe Petts (The Steamworks)
DESCRIPTION:Chloe Petts\, breakout star of Taskmaster S22 (Ch4) and “one of the most compelling young comics” (The Guardian)\, returns with a new stand-up hour of trademark critically-acclaimed cerebral laddishness.

In terms of podcasts\, Petts has appeared on Off menu with (Ed Gamble and James Acaster)\, Shagged. Married. Annoyed. (Chris & Rosie Ramsey)\, Films to Buried With (Brett Goldstein) and co-hosted The Guilty Feminist alongside Deborah Frances-White. \n“one of the most accomplished stand-ups working in the UK today” the Scotsman ★★★★ \n“When it comes to comedy Petts is very much Premier League.” Evening Standard ★★★★ \n“[Petts] holds the audience with inventive authority throughout” The Times ★★★★ \n“hilarious… this is certainly comedy that packs a punch.” TheI ★★★★★ \n“it’s a hoot” Time Out ★★★★ \n“has the audience in stitches” Metro ★★★★ \n“Petts is thriving as a front-foot stand-up” Chortle ★★★★
