Sink or Swim presents Charlie Parr
Saturday 23 May 20267:30 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.

Monday 25 May 20267:30 pm - 11:00 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).

THE CULT OF FREE LOVE
The Cult of Free Love is an international musical collective, which has its roots in the mystical landscape of North Wales. There are 2 full length albums available as well as several singles, EPs and compilation appearances released on a variety of well-regarded European labels.
The music has received comparisons to the likes of Primal Scream, Andrew Weatherall (who was known to play TCOFL in his sets), The Orb, The Thievery Corporation and The Chemical Brothers. The same record is never made twice. On the forthcoming 3rd album, TCOFL has forsaken the electronics of the previous record and returned to a more traditional guitar-based psychedelic sound. The music has been featured on BBC Wales and played at half-time on matchday at Wrexham AFC‘s ground.
“The Cult of Free Love give psych’s early spirit a transcendental reboot. One of the grandest blends of psych and electronica for many a moon.” Kris Needs
”The band take psych’s original spirit to spectacular new sonic vistas.” Shindig!
“Their sonic rainbow manages to straddle subterranean noise, Eastern mysticism and electronic freak pop. Hiding behind anonymity there’s something well worth investigating here.” Record Collector

Sunday 7 June 20267:30 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.
