MR SWEET: YACHT ROCK FULFILLED
Mr Sweet are a London-based yacht rock band blending smooth grooves with sophisticated songwriting. The journey began at Trinity Music College, where three members bonded over their love of rich harmonies, complex chords, and sun-drenched melodies. Their shared musical foundation laid the groundwork for a sound that’s as thoughtful as it is infectious. Mr Sweet lives at the crossroads of Hall & Oates’ velvet pop charm and Todd Rundgren’s fearless artistry. Their music proves that catchy hooks and clever arrangements don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Whether you’re a deep-cut crate digger or a casual listener chasing good vibes, Mr Sweet offers a sound that’s both musically rich and instantly memorable. Mr Sweet's second album, Parallelogram, was released to acclaim in April 2025.
3 great bands get together for an evening of all-star entertainment.

The Mighty Heartache
Rock'n'roll with the swagger and heart of the 70s, the spirit of the 60’s, and a dollop of country and rockabilly. Words to make you think, maybe an occasional tear, and a beat to get your feet a dancin’.
Think Elvis C meets Elvis P with the energy of the Clash, the raunch of The Stones, all filtered through in Nashville and dropped into the heart of the Finchley Delta.
The set will include a mix of old favourites along with new tracks from our recently released EP Love's Ancient Song (Sept 2025).
the FortyFours
One of Cornwall's highest regarded rock and roll bands, the Forty Fours take influence from traditional Blues and Merseybeat to create an energising live set of covers and original material.
Displays of vocal harmony, raw rhythm and blues instrumentation and passion are what have come to be the essence of The Forty Fours. Always coupled with authenticity and style.
With a new album about to release the band are looking forward to a resurgence in classic British invasion music.
Pallets For A Bed
A new London-based band, weaving indie, grunge and speck of country, into a raw and unmistakably UK sound. Their songs are gritty yet melodic in all the right ways with hooks that cling to you for days.
Expect energy that hits somewhere between a late night pub gig and a warehouse show. Authentic, catchy and a bit scruffy in all the best ways, P4AB build music that sticks.
The weekend starts here!
7pm - 9pm Live bands
9pm - 2am Crawdaddy Club Night =
Meaka Monroe – A New Voice in British Music Scene, she brings a timeless yet innovative sound to the industry.
Hailing from Leeds, UK, Meaka Monroe is an emerging independent artist with a unique take on life. Her sound is a seamless fusion of British Soul, Alternative R&B, Rock, and UK Reggae and
Monroe brings raw emotion and authenticity to every track she writes.
Her love for music has been apparent since childhood yet she didn’t find her voice and start recording until she began intensive music psychotherapy sessions to address the impact of the devastating developmental childhood trauma she endured. She always knew music was a powerful tool for healing but through these sessions, she discovered the transformative power of musical expression—an experience that laid the foundation debut album, “Algorhythm & Blues.”
Performing as 5 piece band Meaka will play songs from her album thrown in with a few upbeat covers.
