WHO ARE THE DUCK THIEVES? 10th ANNIVERSARY
Saturday 2 November 20247:00 pm - 9:30 pm
£6 adv (+ booking fee)
DUCK THIEVES ARE 10 YEARS OLD!
Come party with us at The Tin as we celebrate our Tin anniversary.
Over the past decade we have played on the main stage at Godiva Festival and supported The Specials at their homecoming gig at Coventry Cathedral ruins as well as Terry Hall’s Homegrown Sessions. But most of our gigs have happened at our home, The Tin, and we couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate with you all. There will be cake and a buffet?
DUCK THIEVES
A band described as Indie Panto Party Pop with a slice of punk performance art thrown in. Formed in Coventry, they write songs that are inspired by personal story-telling, feminism, standing up to racism and B-Movies. On stage, the band exude an explosive energy, captivating stage presence and unpredictable theatrics.
They have released multiple singles and EPs to critical acclaim including Act One, Dance Like a Duck Thief, In Liverpool We’ll Barn Dance and the upcoming Eyes Up Here.
The band take their name after the first ever film made in Hong Kong, ‘Stealing a Roasted Duck’, which was destroyed and consequently no one alive has seen.

Public Lecture: ‘The Beat Godfather and the Glitter Mainman: Appreciating Bowie through Burroughs’
Wednesday 6 November 20246:30 pm - 7:30 pm
FREE - booking essential The Tin At The Coal Vaults
William Burroughs fertilised an A to Z of postwar creativity, quite literally from Kathy Acker to Frank Zappa. This lecture, which forms part of the ESRC Social Science Festival 2024, will consider one of Burroughs more notable offspring, David Bowie and, in particular, the way Burroughs’ writing, and especially the cut-ups technique he helped popularise, whereby a written text is cut up and rearranged to create a new text, exerted an influence on Bowie. In many ways, Bowie, at his best, at his most sublime, attempts to convey the ineffable, that is, to provide an experience of that which cannot be captured in words. His ability to do so preceded his engagement with Burroughs, but to experience Bowie at his most transcendent is to listen to his music post-Burroughs. The lecture will focus on Bowie’s 1974 album, Diamond Dogs (now in its 50th year) which was the first to draw explicitly on the cut-ups technique, and is arguably his best. While the power of the album is obviously not reducible to Burroughs, containing as it does many other elements, the sense of vertigo the listener experiences, the sense of being out of kilter, of delirium, is heightened by use of cut-ups. The lecture promises to be an audio-visual feast, accompanied by Bowie text, images, and music from his back catalogue.It will be approximately 45 minutes duration and will be followed by a Q&A with Alex.
Alex has presented public lectures on ideas, ethical debates, and creative methods, through the lightening rod that is David Bowie at cinemas, theatres and festivals in the UK, Australia and the USA (2016-2024). These include the Dublin David Bowie Festival (2020 and 2021). She has also participated in panel discussions on the importance of Bowie with, among others, Woody Woodmansey, the legendary drummer in Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (Dublin David Bowie Festival 2020; David Bowie Convention Liverpool 2022). She is the author of several books, including, and most recently, David Bowie Outlaw: essays on difference, authenticity, ethics, art & love (London: Routledge, 2022) https://www.routledge.com/David-Bowie-Outlaw-Essays-on-Difference-Authenticity-Ethics-Art–Love/Sharpe/p/book/9780367691066

Cheap Dirty Horse + Septic and the Tanks + The Caroline Bomb
Friday 8 November 20247:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£7 Adv (+ BF) The Tin At The Coal Vaults
Cheap Dirty Horse are a big rowdy queer trash folk-punk band from Nottingham. Blending acoustic and electric guitar with banjo, accordion, bass, drums, and sometimes mandolin, they write energetic, joyful protest music. They sing about trans rights, dead billionaires, and the importance of doing the things you love. They sing about grief, washing machines, and stealing shit. Angry, but always empowering.

Ellie Gowers + Tarragon (solo)
Saturday 9 November 20247:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£15adv (+ booking fee) The Tin At The Coal Vaults
“Ellie Gowers is, quite literally, an all-singing, all-dancing folk polymath” (Jon Wilks,
TradFolk). Emerging onto the UK folk scene with her debut album, ‘Dwelling by the Weir’ (2022), Ellie explored folklore and stories of her hometown, Warwick, through ecological, sociological, and personal themes (‘Full of delicacy, precision, and gentle delight’, The Guardian). It connected with wider audiences and secured her a place on the UK touring circuit.
Following the release of her latest single, ‘The Stars Are Ours’, BBC Radio 2 beckoned for a ‘really impressive’ (Mark Radcliffe) live session which was widely lorded (‘absolutely beautiful’, Zoe Ball), before heading out on a successful Autumn 2023 tour. Ellie has also composed music for BBC Radio 3’s production of ‘Middlemarch’ and toured as support act for a number of artists including Blair Dunlop and Elephant Sessions. Ellie marks her return this summer with long-awaited new music. After the release of her celebrated album, Ellie has continued to firmly root herself in the songwriting scene. However this time, her new music amplifies her writing; referencing the more contemporary sounds of MIPSO, Gemma Hayes, and Jeff Buckley. After a heavy year of touring away from home, themes of absence, push/pull, and longing emerge from this new and exciting direction.
