MEMORIALS draw inspiration from folk, dub, post punk, experimental tape music, 60s soul, garage rock and 70s spiritual jazz, twisting these influences into their own unmistakable sound. The duo of Verity Susman and Matthew Simms (ex-Electrelane/WIRE) recently toured the USA opening for Stereolab.
Roller Derby is not only the name of a feminist roller sport, but also the name of the dream pop duo from Hamburg, formed in 2020. Blending 60s melodies and nostalgic 80s textures with modern indie pop, Roller Derby craft a sound that’s both dreamy and direct. The band has sold out shows across Europe and America including renowned festivals such as Reeperbahn Festival, The Great Escape, and SXSW (US). "Dream-pop duo Roller Derby shine on their debut album. These transportive tracks boast ethereal vocals, wistful lyricism, and a captivating blend of ‘80s synth pop and contemporary dreamgaze, making When The Night Comes an impressive first full-length." – KEXP
Join us at Didsbury Death Cafe for a safe space to talk openly about death, dying and grief with no agenda or specified topics. It is a very open meeting and we welcome anyone to our free event. Most people who attend have not been before, and we have a different group every time. There is no agenda or no set topics of conversation, so we encourage all conversations related to death. You will be joining us for a relaxed coffee & cake and a chance to meet others to talk openly. The meeting is usually very casual, and you will be in tables of 3-5 people and have the chance to talk about anything you wish. You can also just sit and listen if you would prefer. There will be a maximum of 20 people in total, most of which are new faces each time. It is a relaxed environment where everyone is welcome.
