From poetic songwriting to high-impact alt-rock—four live acts take the stage for a night of modern indie energy.
About this Event

Emerging Sounds returns with another diverse indie showcase, featuring four acts across the London scene—from stripped-back lyricism to full-throttle alt-rock. Expect heartfelt originals, dynamic performances, and a wide-angle take on what indie can be.

🎤 Tim Atkins – A London-based singer-songwriter blending poetic lyrics with ‘90s folk and ‘70s rock. His songs explore love, mental health, and life offline—with echoes of Wilco, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Paul Simon.

🎶 Gareth Freiheit – Dublin-born and London-based, Gareth Freiheit brings DIY indie energy and a Springsteen–meets–Future Islands vibe. With a full band behind him, expect big choruses, clever songwriting, and emotionally rich originals.

🎸 Jimmy Tarpey – Fronting a tight indie rock trio, Jimmy delivers sharp songwriting and dynamic live energy. New material from his upcoming EP adds to a set known for distinctive vocals and no-frills stage presence.

🔥 Mindpilot – Alt-rock heaviness from South East London. Mindpilot bring weight, edge, and a high-impact sound—closing the night with big riffs and bigger energy.
