They are known for their intense live performances, creating their
own style of gothic post-punk driven by vicious drums, distinctive
atmospheric guitar and melodic bass. In 2020, Black Doldrums
collaborated with Suicide producer, Jared Artaud who produced
their debut album Dead Awake. Their debut album gained critical
acclaim across mainstream media outlets, such as Uncut, Rolling
Stone and Sonic Seducer. In September 2023, Black Doldrums
collaborated with THE KVB who remixed ‘Dreamcatcher’ the third
single from Dead Awake.

Roddy Woomble
Wednesday 30 April 20257:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£18.50 Adv (+ BF) The Tin At The Coal Vaults
With his enigmatic and poetic lyrics, warm baritone voice and consummate gift for a tune, Roddy Woomble is widely considered to be among Scotland’s best contemporary songwriters.
Over the sixteen albums that he has released (nine with his band Idlewild, and seven as a solo artist) he has traversed punk rock, chart bothering melodic rock, folk and
most recently electronica, with his most recent project Almost Nothing. Each one delivered with the humble grace that he’s become known for.
Roddy’s upcoming record re-unites him with songwriting partner Sorren Maclean and was recorded with contributions from family and friends, in an old church on the Isle of Mull.

Deliaphonic Presents Snapped Ankles
Friday 16 May 20257:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£19.50 Adv (+ BF) The Tin At The Coal Vaults
Snapped Ankles outsider status has always allowed them to hold a mirror up to society. Now the boundaries are not so clear. In the years since Come Play The Trees was released, their cult has flourished. Their album Stunning Luxury saw the band invited to play the BBC 6 Music Festival and a KEXP session on the back of a sold-out UK tour which culminated with two nights at Village Underground in London. As those who have witnessed the shamanic ritual of their live shows will attest, they are a truly unique, communal experience.
