We’re proud to present our brand new LGBTQ+ open mic night. A relaxed space for LGBTQ+ musicians and allies to try out new material, mingle with others from the community, and generally jam out.
Come by and sing your song! Everyone welcome. We encourage you to present your own songs, but covers are more than welcome. You don’t have to be gay, but you do have to play … or you can just sit and listen :)
Join me for the Portobello Live Lounge residency at the Stewart Arms run by West London's main man Micky P – a lively community pub in Notting Hill/Shepherd’s Bush with live music every Wednesday.
It’s the perfect spot for locals and music-lovers alike, with a vibrant crowd, dartboards, pool table and a great soundtrack. I’m excited to bring regular live lounge sessions to this community-favourite venue.
Come along, relax, and enjoy the groove – see you there!

Join me at the next Punk for the Homeless in Deptford — a raw, fierce DIY punk benefit night that brings the community together to raise awareness and support for homelessness. This isn’t just music: it’s a statement, a connection, and a chance to make a difference through our sound and solidarity. I’m proud to announce I have a residency there — expect loud chords, honest lyrics and a crowd that shows up for more than just the mosh. Come dive into the energy, be part of the resistance — and help us support folks who need it most.
