Sink or Swim presents Charlie Parr
Saturday 23 May 2026
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Early bird £18 | Advance £20 (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults
In the music of Charlie Parr, there is a sincere conviction and earnest drive to create. The Minnesota-born guitarist, songwriter, and interpreter of traditional music has released 19 albums over two decades and has been known to perform up to 275 shows a year. Parr is a folk troubadour in the truest sense: taking to the road between shows, writing and rewriting songs as he plays, fueled by a belief that music is eternal and cannot be claimed or adequately explained. The bluesman poet pulls closely from the sights and sounds around him, his lyrical craftsmanship built by his influences. The sounds from his working-class upbringing—including Folkways legends such as Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie—imbue Parr’s music with stylistic echoes of blues and folk icons of decades past. Parr sees himself merely as a continuer of a folk tradition: “I feel like I stand on a lot of big shoulders,” he said in an interview. “I hope that I’ve brought a little bit of myself to the music.”

With a discography simultaneously transcendental in nature and grounded in roots music, Charlie Parr is the humble master of the 21st century folk tradition.

In his 2024 release, Little Sun, Parr weaves together stories celebrating music, community, and communing with nature. Putting forth an ambitious and raw album that exemplifies the best of Parr’s sound: a blend of the blues and folk traditions he continues to carry with him and the steadfast originality of a poet.

Sink or Swim present Co-Headline: Julie’s Haircut + Brown Spirits
Monday 25 May 2026
5:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Early bird £12 | Advance £14 (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Active since the late nineties, Julie’s Haircut is a band from Emilia, northern Italy, devoted to spacey, hypnotic sounds. The band’s music has evolved in time, through a series of albums and EPs, from the garage-rock soulful energy of their debut towards more experimental grounds, reaching a kaleidoscopic eclecticism that spans rock and psychedelia, from electronic to minimalism, with echoes of jazz, ethnic, dub and drone music. They have been making music with Damo Suzuki, Sonic Boom, Philip Corner, Valerio Cosi and more. Their new album ‘Radiance Opposition’ is released in November 2025.

From psyched-out Krautrock to free-jazz wig outs to funk-flavoured downtempo jams, Brown Spirits endeavor to smash every show as if it was their last. Hailing from Melbourne (AUS) the band maintains a strict DIY recording ethic and comes with a handful of global releases, the 2 most recent albums being on UK’s acclaimed Soul Jazz Records thus landing Brown Spirits as the first ever act from Australia to sign with the label. With strong support from national radio and accolades from abroad including Mojo UK, Uncut Magazine, KEXP and BBC Radio, such recognition has seen the band sharing stages with some their favourite offshore influences such as Kikagaku Moyo (Japan), Frankie and the Witchfingers (usa), Minami Deutsch (Japan) and Yawning Man (usa).

STRANGE ADVENTURES RIDES AGAIN

SATSANGI + NOBODY AND THE LONELIES + STRIP SEARCH TRAMP

Satsangi, bringing their ‘Year of The Pig’ show. Nobody and The Lonelies with a healthy dollop of frantic garage psych. Strip Search Trip, with their Blistering sci-fi movie inspired punk & roll.

SATSANGI

Hailing from the Midlands, UK and Kerala, South India, Satsangi are a solid representative for global music; a cocktail of Indian transience, ballsy rock ‘n’ roll and tripped out psych.

Satsangi have been invited to open for artists such as The Dandy Warhols, The Kills, Dirty Sound Magnet, Fields, The Primitives and Dr Feelgood. They have also headlined at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, The Dublin Castle, The Rockgarden, The Halfmoon and Notting Hill Arts Club. The band have performed internationally in Lusaka and at multiple festivals including Cornbury, Greenbelt, Wychwood and Equinox, as well as venues across the UK. Rolling Stone Magazine reviewed their debut album ’No Shoes in Satsang Hall’. Satsangi are currently recording their 6th studio album set for release summer 2026.

“Iodine is an awesome song” Talvin Singh

“A wicked bass line, timely sax breaks, and pace-setting rhythm guitar sections. Richard Heath needs special mention for his swiveling spin of a sax solo. This is a find!” Rolling Stone

“I feel I could play that for the next hour or so, but the I’d lose my job, she sounds brilliant her name is Sujatha Menon, she’s the lead singer of Satsangi”. Bobby Friction, BBC Asian Network

Sink or Swim present Bob Sumner + The Drone Rangers + Paul Gibson
Sunday 7 June 2026
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Advance £11 (inc booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults
Singer-songwriter Bob Sumner cites the musically progressive sensibilities of his heroes when talking about the spirit of his new album, Some Place to Rest Easy, out now via Fluff & Gravy (worldwide) and North Country Collective (Canada). “They were always creating something new, something different,” he says of idols like George Jones, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings. With that ideology in mind, Sumner set about creating an album that takes as much inspiration from the audio production of Randy Travis as it does the lyrical soul of Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker—a melding of eras, sounds, concepts, and stylings that’s informed by the past, but never bound by it.

FAIR PLAY! ISSUE #1 LAUNCH PARTY
Friday 12 June 2026
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Pay What You Can
The Tin At The Coal Vaults
FAIR PLAY, WE’RE TAKING IT OFFLINE!

With only 8% of people working in creative industries coming from working-class backgrounds – where does that leave the rest of us? Working day jobs and fitting the odd gig in here and there. Recording an album over the span of a few years because that’s when time allows. Learning on ‘cheap’ equipment because it does the job. To these, and to many other oddly specific examples, we say – fair play.

Come join our IRL issue #1 launch party – with live music, free merch, and first look at the magazine.

PWYC (suggested donation: one hours pay / the price of your usual coffee order). All funds raised through entry fees & magazine purchases will be split equally between the following charities:

Positive Youth Foundation: Supporting young people – particularly those underrepresented or with lived experience of injustice – to use arts and creativity to influence change in their lives.

Arts Uplift: Transforming the lives of vulnerable, isolated, and disadvantaged adults, using the power of creative arts, connection and self-expression.

Women for Refugee Women: Supporting a network of over 760 refugee and asylum-seeking women to develop their confidence and skills, through creative and educational activities.

See ya there!

Pink Breath of Heaven is a reverie of shimmering guitars, haunting melodies, and introspective lyricism. The project of Liv Field and Rex John Shelverton, PBOH merges the vast textures of shoegaze with the boundless energy of modern psychedelia, crafting a world where color and emotion intertwine.

Quietly evolving from Olesen’s COVID-19 bedroom project into a synaesthetic, headlining live phenom, the Brooklyn-based five-piece blends densely layered, emotionally serrated noise-pop with immersive performance and production—delivering an immense, original, and digitally inflected brand of modern neo-shoegaze.
