This week sees an EP launch party, a celebration of awesome women, plus a proper eclectic musician showcase. And it\u2019s a bit warm outside too. Yay. <\/span><\/p>\n

TUESDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Kicking off the week is Confetti\u2019s new music night held at ye olde ship <\/span>The Bodega<\/b><\/a>, it\u2019s all run by the live and technical events students and features some of Confetti\u2019s freshest talent. The last one was such a success they\u2019ve come back for another one! Headlining the affair is <\/span>LITTLE BRIBES<\/b><\/a>, a kind of Punk, kind of Post-Hardcore outfit, fronted by <\/span>GEORGE GADD<\/b><\/a>, that are sure to get you moving in ways you didn\u2019t know possible. After a bonkers 2016 doing a headline tour all over the UK, they\u2019ve been tucked away in the studio for a while and are psyched to get some new material out there in the world. And they\u2019re sure to set off a party too! <\/span><\/p>\n

Support comes from some of Confetti\u2019s finest. Including the stunning Singer-Songwriter sounds of <\/span>BETH JOWETT<\/b><\/a>, some proper in your face Alt-Rock vibes courtesy of <\/span>THE SMALL PRINT<\/b><\/a>, plus drums\u2026 lots and lots of drums from <\/span>LUKE HALLAM<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bodega
\n<\/b>Tuesday 21st March
\n<\/span>Price: Free
\n<\/span>Doors: 7pm<\/span><\/p>\n

SATURDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m really sorry to say that you\u2019re gonna have to choose between two really really great gigs. There\u2019s no getting away from the linear way that time works, annoyingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the Contemporary<\/strong><\/a>, they are marking the end of International Women\u2019s month (which should really be every month shouldn\u2019t it) with a fabulous female showcase full of incredibly talented women. The indescribable Chai Larden<\/strong> from London will be headlining (I really can\u2019t describe her). Preceding that will be the honey sweet <\/span>I AM STARZ<\/b><\/a> – this girl has such an incredibly unique voice – I\u2019m going to describe her sound as Atmos-Pop, but with R&B tinges. Also performing will be <\/span>ONKAUR<\/b><\/a>; having released \u2018<\/span>First Run<\/span><\/i>\u2019 EP last year, she has been a little quiet on the originals front so it\u2019ll be ace to see her with some new material. With soulful vocals that meander around, then cut up chatter in a kind of <\/span>Kate Nash<\/b> style, then the smoothest R&B with echoes of <\/span>Stevie Wonder<\/b>, this woman has everything. <\/span><\/p>\n

Following her up is the uber talented <\/span>CHLOE RODGERS<\/strong><\/a>, winner of Notts Factor 2016, with a delicious blend of Pop and Folk. She sounds a bit like <\/span>Corinne Bailey Rae<\/b>, but a proper Notts version. <\/span>KELSEY SHAW<\/b><\/a>\u00a0is up next, and believe us – she has the voice of an angel. With songs that have a brilliant open and resonant sound to them, she also walks the Pop Folk line, with some songs that tinkle along in the Folk like manner, to some more upbeat Poppier ones with <\/span>Florence and the Machine<\/b> sounds underpinning it all. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nottingham Contemporary
\n<\/b>Saturday 25th March
\n<\/span>Price: Free Entry
\n<\/span>Doors: 8pm<\/span><\/p>\n

SATURDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

CAMERON SINCLAIR-HARRIS<\/b><\/a> is having his long awaited EP launch at his favourite venue, <\/span>The Chameleon<\/b><\/a>, and it\u2019s set to be a stonker of a night. Describing himself on the event as a \u2018professional string breaker\u2019, which is very true but also underselling himself horrendously so I\u2019ll do it for him. If you didn\u2019t catch his FS then absolutely do. With songs ranging from heartbreak to how the government fucking sucks, his vocals go from meek to bold and brash and his guitar work, well, as previously mentioned, is guitar breaking. You\u2019ll cry, you\u2019ll get angry, you\u2019ll feel a lot of emotions, in a great way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Supporting is <\/span>GEORGE GADD<\/b><\/a> (you lucky thing, you get to see him twice in one week). With sweet guitar melodies and soaring vocals, you\u2019ll feel fully uplifted after watching this here dude. He also has a song called <\/span>\u2018Milhouse\u2019<\/span><\/i> which is probably a Simpsons reference which is just great. He recently released his \u2018<\/span>Better Shape\u2019<\/span><\/i> EP which is a real stand up collection of songs, from Indie Punk to swooning acoustic tinklers. <\/span><\/p>\n

PUTIN AND THE DOLPHIN<\/b><\/a> will come along with their ukelele and guitar and make us all really happy with their charming songs. Angelic voices that fit together like pieces of a puzzle, they are like a Notts version of <\/span>First Aid Kit,<\/b> and they\u2019re best friends which is so so lovely. They\u2019ll bring a smile to your face and make you wanna hug someone\u2026 maybe bring someone to hug.<\/span><\/p>\n

FRAZER QUINN<\/b><\/a> is coming all the way from Long Eaton, with Blues and Folk sounds to soothe your soul. He has bluesy material galore, from the Dylan-esque Blues-Folk sound, to the classic subject matters of the genre.<\/span><\/p>\n

I really don\u2019t know how you\u2019re going to choose, maybe get a livestream set up at one of them? <\/span><\/p>\n

The Chameleon
