SACRILEGE

Sacrilege is back founder members from the 80s Bill Beadle, Neil Turnbull,  Paul Macnamara and Jeff Roland.

In the early 1980’s Sacrilege played many venues such as the old Marquee in Wardour Street, London and they also played on the David Jensen show with U2 and the Stranglers on the same show.  From the TV appearance followed a UK tour of smaller venues finishing with the Marquee gig.

​Sacrilege always had a stage show no matter whether they were playing a pub, club or festival and fans may remember the real long dry grass they used around the stage, the cobwebs over the drum-kit, the explosions, dry ice and 4×12 cabinets with crosses and smoke pouring out of them – always a showcase.

You will be pleased to know that the band still put on the show they were renowned for.

Sacrilege ended when Bill stopped playing for about 25 years whilst raising a family but they are now back, better than ever, writing and recording new music in the band’s very own purpose-built studio and are touring.

HANYA + special guests

Tickets £6 adv – via seetickets & Vic
16+ show

Making their ascent from Brighton’s thriving talent pool, indie upcomers HANYA continue to show us they have a lot to offer. Named after the hannya mask traditionally worn in Noh theatre, the group was originally constructed by guitarist and vocalist Heather exploring the many faces of a female psyche; later the fully-formed collective emerged, recruiting three friends with impressive musical backgrounds to assemble the dreampop quartet.

Thanks to the group’s captivating songwriting, hazy soundscapes and thick-grooved basslines, HANYA have received a whirlwind of support across the alternative scene from key UK tastemakers in radio, including Jack Saunders, Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1) and Tom Robinson (BBC 6 Music), as well as a plethora of support from leading UK DIY press including The Quietus, Gigwise and Line of Best Fit.
Following on from their trip stateside to New Colossus festival in NYC, HANYA released ‘Texas’ the follow-on single from their EP ‘Sea Shoes’. The track received a wash of support across the alternative realm, leading to Clash Magazine naming it “A gorgeous shoe gaze hymn” and Jack Saunders remarking “It’s a beauty, that.” During his hotly-tipped BBC Radio 1 Indie Show.
Don’t miss your chance to catch HANYA’s intimate shows before they follow-on in the steps of their peers, this group have guaranteed their spot as a band with momentum.
‘Live they create truly a mesmerising and unforgettable experience’. Clash Magazine.

“What Hanya do incredibly well is performing musical u-turns. Their songs may start off as an earnest ballad then – BAM! it’s a full-blown post-punk rager.” The Quietus.

“All-consuming, addictive offering…drenched in sublime shoegaze” Line of Best Fit.
