- Brown Horse (Independent Venue Week) -
'Wonderous... On this evidence, they’re set to run and run.' UNCUT
Brown Horse is a six-piece country rock band from Norwich, England, known for blending 90s alternative rock with 70s folk and country sounds.
Originally forming as a four-piece folk band in 2018, they expanded to their current lineup before releasing their debut album Reservoir in January 2024 on Loose Music, followed by their second critically acclaimed album, All The Right Weaknesses, in April 2025.
The band is characterized by its collaborative songwriting process, which results in a cohesive sound despite individual contributions, and a live performance style that emphasizes both raw energy and thoughtful arrangements.

The band play the Facebar as part of Independent Venue Week.
+ The August List
The August List are a six-piece psych folk rock band from Oxford.
They have toured across the UK and Europe, performed alongside luminaries such as Jesca Hoop, Trembling Bells, The Lovely Eggs, and Gwenifer Raymond and appeared at prestigious festivals such as Festival Number 6, Wilderness and Truck. Previous releases have received critical acclaim and have been supported by DJs across the BBC network including 6Music.
