MILKYS MUSIC MATTERS FOCUS ON UPCOMING BEDFORD GIGS Woah…wait, what happened there ? That wasn’t the plan, restrictions were meant to have lifted in June but Covid struck its great big beak into our lives once again and sent us scuttling back to re-plan, rearrange and re-dream. Normality creeps closer, keep believing people, we will see and hear the return of live music soon. Once of the biggest issues was trying to reschedule the inaugural CEREMONY festival at Esquires and we have now landed on the new date of Bank Holiday Sunday 29th August with a line-up comprising of Billy NoMates, Pins, JOHN (times two), Crows, FEET, Talk Show, Bleach Lab, Regressive Left, Lynks, Grandmas

The local promoters have been working hard to secure bookings with the best of the new bands across a variety of genres whilst also continuing to work with heritage acts and established indie bands keen to return to the best (below 300 capacity) venue in the country (Esquires is on your doorstep people – come say Hi!)
COMING UP, COMING UP Spiky Brighton female trio Dream Wife return to Esquires in August bringing their mix of danceable punk pop and riot grrrl attitude in what is a coup as they have been playing larger venues of late.
