This new combination with even more added new romantic baroque image has proven an explosive combination as they weave and wind through their genre fluid sets. Covering bases from punk, goth , metal, cold wave, glam rock and even some new wave, The Neo Romantic, Lady LD50, Mr Hex and Kate Karnage will take you on a unique and hugely expressive visually dramatic journey.

Tonight Runnin' Blue Presents Thomas Heppell & Joe Kash live at Aces & Eights, Tufnell Park.

Thomas Heppell is on fire and the Robert Johnson EP has had some awesome reviews.

From the sun-soaked South Coast of the UK to legendary venues nationwide, Thomas Heppell is redefining the blues for a new era. Blending the soul of Blues, the raw energy of Rock & Roll, and the finesse of Jazz, Thomas captivates audiences—whether commanding the stage solo or driving the groove with his powerhouse trio. On this occasion it will be a solo performance.

Joe Kash is a rising star of the UK blues scene, delivering his own dark version of the blues, one to watch!

SUNDAY 1ST NOVEMBER! Human Safari is a stand up comedy show that examines human behaviour through the perspective of a wildlife scientist. Onojie Idemudia uses observations from the animal world as a framework for exploring the habits, rituals and social behaviours of humans.
The show moves between observational comedy, personal experiences and audience interaction, drawing comparisons between human behaviour and that of other species. Topics include dating, relationships, family, masculinity, culture, social behaviour and the experience of navigating life in Britain as a Nigerian born man.

The Dirt Road Band is the brainchild of guitar legend Steve Walwyn, mainly known as the longest serving guitar player in Dr Feelgood. During this time he amassed a massive reputation as a bona fide blues hero in the UK, Europe and beyond.
