This special performance, brought to you by the esteemed promoters Please Please You, will also showcase the talents of Troutflies, promising a double bill of compelling artistry. The venue will be set up for seated enjoyment, with unreserved seating available for all attendees. Tickets are priced at £14, with an additional booking fee applicable for advance purchases. This is a must-attend event for anyone with an appreciation for pioneering spirit and authentic musical expression.

Linda Smith is a pioneer of home recording who has been making music since 1987. She initially self-released her music on cassette before gaining wider recognition through releases on indie labels Slumberland and Harriet Records in the early 1990s. Her music has recently been reissued on vinyl by Brooklyn NY label Captured Tracks, and she has begun touring internationally.
Support for the evening comes from Troutflies, a band that plays loose, woozy punk and experimental lo-fi pop. They occasionally feature dualing melodicas in their music, adding to their unique sound.
