Don’t Tell Presents THIMBLE The band formed in late 2025. They have kick-started their journey in the south England music scene with an explosive run of sold-out shows, most actually going over capicity with the audience bursting out of the room- people are excited about Thimble, and can sense the buzz of something big around the corner. Within a few months of their rammed debut show at Rose Hill Tavern in Brighton, they have already played two of the city’s most culturally relevant festivals - Homegrown and the Alt-Escape, as well as camping festivals in Cornwall, Gloucester and Kent. They have also joined Cornish outfit Blind Yeo on a leg of their tour in May of 2026, introducing them to the London scene for the first time. HORSEFAIRHorsefair are a Bristol six-piece born at the city’s finest bus stop. Led by Kate Francis’s haunting alto vocals and saxophone, the band combine post-rock, art-punk and grunge with violin, electronics and live sampling creating a forward thinking and yet nostalgic twist on live performance that has to be experienced and felt in person. Horsefair turn sharply from moments of hushed,cathedral like stillness into towering swells of noise, crafting a live performance charged with passion, tension and cathartic release. PATRICK CIRCUS A Brighton band known for being psychedelic, polyrhythmic, groove-infused sonic boundary pushers. 18+

A brighton ensemble whose sound folds folk, eastern and western classical, dark psychedelia and jazz into something closer to a slow build than a set of songs, with flute and saxophone in the mix. They debuted at the rose hill in february 2026 and have played the green door store since. Their four-track album 'that's a long time to be caught in the undertow' came out in july 2026.
