Batsch release their long awaited third album, Very Well LP.
With support from special guests, Project Overload, and live visuals from Glitched Liquid.
—
Batsch are a unique avant-pop ensemble who have been experimenting with synth pop, disco and jazz throughout the last decade. Having started out as Don’t Move!, a four-piece, with acclaimed soda-pop artist Pink Shabab on bass, the latest incarnation of the band is an energetic duo, consisting of Mason Le Long on synth, guitar and vocals, and Matt Rheeston on drums, samples and vocals.

Having served for many years as a house band for Tin Angel Records, Batsch toured extensively with artists such as Laetitia Sadier, Marker Starling, Nicholas Krgovich, Devon Sproule, and John Moods. Over the years, Batsch have continued their collaborations with global artists, featuring on compilation albums such as 2015’’s Dear Janet, a love letter to Janet Jackson, alongside artists such as Tune-Yards, Deradoorian and Nicholas Krgovich, and remixed tracks for the likes of Pick a Piper (Caribou drummer). In addition to this, Le Long, operates from his DIY studio, mastering acclaimed albums for the likes of Mabe Fratti and Crack Cloud, while Rheeston fuses angular rhythms and soulful melodies through original beats, in his side-project, Riizbo.

In Le Long’s words, on the subject of the natural evolution of their sound since becoming a duo, ‘a recent shift away from the 70s, dead, ‘teatowelled’ drum kit to a high-tuned, bebop-sounding, mid-60s Olympic kit has been significant in the development of our sound, informing our decision-making, and the way Matt plays.’

Their latest singles, ‘Too Few’, ‘Knew No Different’ and ‘Golden Summer’, are fine examples of their new ‘self-sampling’ approach. These tracks have gained some success, including press features in Mystic Sons, Brooklyn Vegan, Atwood Magazine, With Guitars, and radio plays on BBC 6Music, Amazing Radio, KZ Israel and Simone Marie’s Naked Lunch show on Soho Radio.

Seb Rochford’s Finding Ways

In 2003, drummer Sebastian Rochford formed Polar Bear – a contemporary jazz group that, over the next decade, helped define a new era in British music. Their sound was bold, open-hearted, and influential, earning two Mercury Prize nominations and widespread acclaim. Since then, Seb’s distinctive voice has been heard across a broad spectrum of music, collaborating with artists including Patti Smith, Damon Albarn, Grace Jones and Brian Eno. This year he returns as a bandleader with Finding Ways, layering up to three guitars at a time around his drums and bass, the album featuring ten different guitarists. He’s joined by a remarkable set of collaborators and guests including – Tara Cunningham, David Preston and Anders Christensen – each adding something unmistakably their own and it’s this space they’re given to be themselves that defines the sound. This is honest music-making. Nothing is forced. Nothing boxed in. Finding Ways. That’s what Seb is doing—musically, emotionally, personally.

‘The Finding Ways music is about Finding Ways to keep positive and navigate the world around us’.

Sink or Swim present Malin Lewis + Special Guests

Sunday 22 March 2026
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£12 adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

In a trailblazing new solo work, innovator – award winning – multi-instrumentalist Malin Lewis deep dives into a hypnotic envisioned world of ancient Scottish folk music on fiddle and a newly invented, self made bagpipe.

Exploring laments, improvisation, circular melody, jigs and reels, Malin performs an entrancing cycle of melodies that deconstruct and re-define the traditions they grew up within.

Having toured across the UK, Canada and Europe, Malin released their celebrated debut album ‘Halocline’ in May 2024 on Hudson Records. A Halocline is a visible layer that forms between salt and fresh water and is home to a unique microbial ecosystem.

Malin’s unique timbre is born from the deep connection that comes from making and composing for their own instrument. Their one of a kind two-octave Smallpipe creates a whole new world of sound, captivating audiences at every opportunity.

Inspired by the likes of Martyn Bennett, Duncan Chisholm and Sharron Shannon their music is as lively as it is thought provoking and sensitive. Recently Malin has been recording music for The Outrun starring Saoirse Ronan, composing for contemporary dance and theatre and has been learning the tradition of the extinct Finnish Bagpipes.

Sink or Swim present Ida Wenøe & Samantha Whates Sun, Apr 26, 2026 at 7:30-11:00 PM

Sunday 26 April 2026
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
 Advance £12 + BF
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

When Ida Wenøe and Samantha Whates take the stage together, it’s not your typical double headline show where one artist follows the other. Instead, they weave their performances into something far more collaborative and unexpected.

 

The two songwriters combine their set lists into a seamless flow, often without revealing who wrote which song. This approach creates a narrative that goes beyond what either achieves alone—an unfolding story that draws you in, song by song.

 

Rather than stepping aside, they share the stage from start to finish, featuring on each other’s songs with harmonies, instrumental layers, and a natural ease that comes from genuine connection, respect and long time friendship. Expect two full sets that are immersive, multi-instrumental, and brimming with warmth, love and laughter.

 

One of the most striking aspects of their collaboration is how it defies the competitive edge often projected onto women in music. Here, you witness the opposite: two artists lifting each other up, creating space for their songs to breathe together, and celebrating what happens when voices, stories, and talents intertwine.

 

This is a performance that’s part concert, part conversation, and wholly unique—an evening where the joy of collaboration takes center stage.
