Gramophone The London Bridge Trio is one of Britain’s leading chamber ensembles, known for their deeply nuanced and searching interpretations. Formed in 2002, they continue their original mission of prioritising strong, composer-led programmes, often collaborating with regular guest artists. Their name reflects an admiration for English music of the early twentieth century, which forms part of the group’s varied repertoire and is represented by their hugely successful Frank Bridge recordings. For 2022 and beyond, founder Daniel Tong is joined by Ben Hancox and Cara Berridge, both members of the acclaimed Sacconi Quartet with whom Daniel has performed on numerous occasions. "Their performance of the Bridge Trio was one of the great chamber music experiences of my life." DAVID MATTHEWS, COMPOSER Over recent years the trio has appeared frequently in London with Wigmore Hall and Kings Place concerts as well as a residency at St John’s Smith Square, entitled ‘Brahms and his World’, which represented four aspects of his composing life with mixed combinations and song. Their concert of Czech music at Champs Hill in Sussex was broadcast live by BBC Radio 3, and their concerts at St George’s Bristol were broadcast as a series of BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime Concerts. The group has also appeared at venues including Queen's Hall, St George’s and the Ponte de Lima Festival (Portugal). Read more... Information Source: Assembly House Classical | eventbrite

Fright Years are an Edinburgh-based band crafting music that’s as emotionally charged as it is cinematic. Their songs are born out of the pure joy of making music together, with each track designed to tell its own story, full of mood and depth. They aren’t afraid to get vulnerable, weaving sentimentality into their guitar-heavy soundscapes. The band’s journey kicked off when vocalist Jules and guitarist Harrison met over a double booked rehearsal room at Edinburgh Art College. After a series of chance encounters, bassist CJ and drummer Struan soon joined, completing the lineup. By 2024, Fright Years had released three singles that gained attention from BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing Scotland, and media outlets like Clash and The Line of Best Fit. The band quickly became known as “a band to keep an eye on” (Flex, 2024) and “names you’ll want to remember” (Lock, 2024). Their track Let Me Down even landed at #35 in The Herald’s “Top 100 Songs from Scotland in 2023.” Fright Years worked with producer Theo Verney (English Teacher, Lime Garden, Blood Wizard) on their new batch of work pushing their sound into exciting territory with a mix of melancholic, guitar-driven energy and a warm, melodic touch through live recording techniques. The new music shows just how far the band has come, blending emotion with ambition in every note. That ambition caught the attention of BBC Introducing Scotland and BBC Radio 1’s Jess Iszatt, who continues to support the band. Fright Years are Jules Kelly, Harrison MacLeod-Bonnar, Christopher Jamieson, and Struan Blacklock. Information Source: Pizza Club | eventbrite

Sabaka Promo Presents… Pain Of Truth Pain of Truth, hailing from Long Island, New York, is a hardcore band known for their crushing riffs, stomping grooves, and raw vocals. Their sound blends the grit of classic NYHC with a modern intensity, creating hard-hitting tracks built for chaotic live shows. Their aggressive style and DIY ethos quickly led to them making a name for themselves with their debut demo No Blame… Just Facts. In 2023, they dropped their debut album Not Through Blood, a collection of tracks packed with pummelling breakdowns, two-step-inducing rhythms, and explosive gang vocals. The record features collaborations with notable hardcore artists Freddy Cricien (Madball), Scott Vogel (Terror), and Justice Tripp (Trapped Under Ice), further emphasising their deep ties to the hardcore community.
