Kneecap – A Film By Rich Peppiatt (18)
Doors 7pm | Film Start 7:30pm
Of the 80,000 native Irish speakers, 6,000 live in the North of Ireland and three of them became a rap group called Kneecap. This is the real-life story of how this anarchic Belfast trio became the unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save and reinvigorate their mother tongue.

The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Nadia Reid’s Enter Now Brightness is an album of departure and questioning, a reminder that songwriting can transform pain, joy, thoughts, and anger into something new. “I’m so much better off now that it exists,” she says. “Now feels like a new time.”

Moving further from her folk roots, Reid establishes a sound distinctly her own—poised and expansive. The title, drawn from a book passage, evokes light breaking through, the feeling of stepping onto a stage, of life beginning.

A record of great beauty and change, Enter Now Brightness captures Reid’s evolution, blending textural pop, country-leaning folk-rock, and striking emotional depth. The Guardian describes her sound as “halfway between Haim’s sophisticated pop sparkle and Sharon Van Etten’s full-throated songcraft.”

Sink or Swim present Crime & The City Solution + Joshua Murphy
Sunday 28 September 2025
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Advance £15 (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

The Crime acoustic dates are, explains Bonney “born of a want to play the songs as they were first written – in a lounge room on an acoustic guitar – to create an intimate atmosphere that captures the simple joy of friends playing together for friends, unmediated by technology.”

The three-piece acoustic iteration of Crime features Bronwyn Adams (violin and vocals), Simon Bonney (vocals) and Joshua Murphy (acoustic guitar and vocals), and, following their performance at Dark Mofo, the trio will embark on a tour in September / October, beginning in Malmö before travelling to Denmark and then the UK

Formed in Sydney by Simon Bonney at the age of 16, Crime & the City Solution’s early performances from 1977-1979 had a big impact on key figures of the early Melbourne art-punk/post punk scene. In 1984, Bad Seed Mick Harvey shipped Bonney to England to form the London based Crime with their friend the brilliant and ever influential ex-Birthday Party guitarist Rowland S Howard, with his brother Harry Howard on bass and Epic Soundtracks on drums. The London incarnation – encapsulated by these two reissues – disbanded soon after their performance in ‘Wings of Desire’. Crime’s London alumni included the late Epic Soundtracks (co-founder of Swell Maps), Mick Harvey (who releases his sixth solo album, Five Ways to Say Goodbye in May), and brothers Rowland S. Howard and Harry Howard, who went on to form These Immortal Souls after their time with Crime (Get Lost (Don’t Lie!), I’m Never Gonna Die Again (1992) and new compilation EXTRA are out now Mute).

The first Berlin incarnation which followed is represented by three albums recently reissued on Mute – Shine (1988), The Bride Ship (1989) and Paradise Discotheque (1990), and the live album, The Adversary. Another 20 years would pass before the band, then based in Detroit, would return with their fifth studio album, American Twilight: “as much an elegy to the American Dream that’s turned into a global nightmare as it is a damn fine rock & roll album” -The Quietus

Crime & the City Solution recently announced a book of selected lyrics, Love In A Time Of Violence, out now via Heartworm Press.
