Roll up, roll up, for New York State’s finest “punk-classical-hillbilly-Floyd” combo. With a moniker deliberately devised to deter major-label attention, Gandalf Murphy & the Slambovian Circus of Dreams have nonetheless won a large and devoted following, including such discerning fans as Neil Young and Dar Williams, since their 2004 breakthrough release Flapjacks from the Sky, not least for their uniquely carnivalesque live shows.

Born in Co. Down but mostly raised Stateside Foy Vance is, literally, the son of a preacher man, who imbues his blend of soul, blues and jazz with both gospel fervour and the outlook for which he named his first album, 2007’s Hope. With his soaring, Van Morrison-esque voice, often accompanied by layers of live-looped guitar, Vance is a mesmerising live performer.

Please note that all patrons must be over the age of 14 and anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. In accordance with venue policy, random bag searches will be in operation.
