This extensive UK tour in September & October 2026 comes off the back of the band releasing their 13th studio album ‘Birdsong’. The album’s release was the first since the group signed to Creation Youth, the British independent record label launched by Alan McGee - the Creation Records founder who famously signed artists like Oasis, Primal Scream and My Bloody Valentine – and producer and Killing Joke bassist Martin ‘Youth’ Glover. The latest album ‘Birdsong’ was recorded at Paul Weller’s Black Barn Studios in Surrey and produced by Dr Robert, The Blow Monkeys’ lead singer Robert Howard (aka Dr Robert) is backed throughout Birdsong’s ten-tracks by fellow founding members Neville Henry (sax), Mick Anker (bass), with Crispin Taylor on drums and additional musicians such as Mick Talbot , Gina Foster and Steve Sidelnyk. Dr Robert said, “Youth is one of our closest neighbours up in the mountains near Granada, close to where I live, and I often pop in for a cup of tea. One time I was up there and I bumped into Alan McGee. I was sitting strumming an acoustic guitar and he asked if I could play Buick McKane, the old T Rex number. I did, which I think sealed the deal! He asked me to write and record a “brilliant Blow Monkey record”. I knew what he meant. The songs just poured out, almost without effort, which is always a good sign. It’s a very ‘up’ album, and deliberately so.” McGee added, “The album they recorded for Creation Youth at Paul Weller’s studio is as good as anything Dr Robert did back in the day. It’s the original line-up bar the drummer, so it’s has that unique sound that’s unmistakably The Blow Monkeys. I love this band!” After making their debut over 40 years ago, The Blow Monkeys became household names when classic singles ‘Digging Your Scene’ and ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way’ became worldwide hits and their cover of Leslie Gore’s 1963 song ‘You Don’t Own Me’ featured on the biggest selling soundtrack of all time, ‘Dirty Dancing’. But there was always so much more going on with these soulful troubadours, with them possessing a relentless desire to move forward, collaborate, to be socially engaged and to have something to contribute. Back in the ‘80s they worked with people as varied as Curtis Mayfield, Paul Weller, Cheb Khaled and even Jamaican Toaster EEK-a-Mouse. Dr Robert even took time out to release one of the UK’s first home grown House records with ‘Wait’, his top 5 duet with Chicago soul diva Kym Maselle.

Perfume Genius is the moniker of artist Mike Hadreas. Hadreas began his music career in 2008 and released his debut album, Learning, in 2010 via long-time label home Matador. The album immediately captured critics’ attention, with Pitchfork praising its “eviscerating and naked” songs, marked by “heartbreaking sentiments and bruised characterizations delivered in a voice that ranges from an ethereal croon to a slightly cracked warble.” These descriptors became the hallmarks of Perfume Genius - Hadreas’ unique ability to convey emotional vulnerability not only lyrically, but with his impressively nuanced vocals. In 2012, Hadreas released Put Your Back N 2 It, further growing his audience and critical acclaim. His 2014 album, Too Bright, marked a bold evolution in production and confidence. Co-produced by Adrian Utley of Portishead, it featured the standout single “Queen,” which quickly became a queer anthem and powerful statement of identity. Hadreas later performed the track on Late Night with David Letterman. In 2017, Perfume Genius released the GRAMMY-nominated No Shape, a breakthrough album that expanded his global fan base and brought mainstream recognition to his art. Produced by Blake Mills (Fiona Apple, Alabama Shakes), the record earned high praise, with The New Yorker noting, “The center of his music has always been a defiant delicacy—a ragged, affirmative understanding of despair. No Shape finds him unexpectedly victorious, his body exalted.” During the album’s campaign, Hadreas appeared on multiple late-night shows and graced the cover of The Fader. In 2020, Hadreas released Set My Heart On Fire Immediately, a critical masterpiece on Matador Records that garnered worldwide acclaim. Produced by GRAMMY winner Blake Mills, the album featured contributions from Phoebe Bridgers, Jim Keltner, Pino Palladino, Matt Chamberlin, Rob Moose, and longtime collaborator Alan Wyffels. It explored and subverted concepts of masculinity and traditional roles, introducing distinctly American musical influences.Hadreas promoted the album with performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (“Jason”), The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (“Whole Life”), and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (“On The Floor”). He followed with Ugly Season, a project born from his collaboration with choreographer Kate Wallich on The Sun Still Burns Here, a dance piece commissioned by Seattle Theatre Group and Mass MoCA and performed across major cities in 2019. The release included a stunning 30-minute film, Pygmalion’s Ugly Season, created with renowned visual artist Jacolby Satterwhite, blending surreal visuals with Hadreas’s music. In March 2025, Hadreas released Glory, his critically acclaimed, GRAMMY-nominated seventh studio album. Make your dinner reservation to eat at our Margins Cafe before the show!

Kili Presents and Metropolis By Arrangement with Junzi Arts Jamie Duffy: A Rising Star in the Music World "Whether he decides to be Ireland’s answer to Hans Zimmer or the next Yo-Yo Ma, the future is most certainly bright." - The Irish Times 22-year-old musician and songwriter Jamie Duffy is a notable force in the music scene, known for seamlessly blending traditional, popular, and classical influences into a distinctive musical style that captivates with its beauty. Jamie's debut track, "Solas," continues to break records, becoming the most streamed debut song by an Irish artist since Hozier's "Take Me To Church," amassing over 155 million streams on Spotify. With over 1.9 million monthly listeners, Jamie is solidifying his place in the music world. Jamie's collaborations showcase his versatility and innovation. His collaboration, "Solas (with Sarah Cothran)," holds deep personal significance and represents a creative milestone. Reflecting on the track, Jamie expressed, "The new version of Solas with Sarah Cothran is very special and important to me, and it’s been executed in a way I always dreamed any vocal version would be." This version adds an international dimension to Jamie's musical repertoire. Expanding his collaborative repertoire, Jamie has worked with notable musicians such as Patrick Dexter and Kingfishr. From uplifting instrumental pieces to emotionally resonant tracks featuring powerful vocals, Jamie's compositions span a diverse range of genres and themes. Jamie is set to captivate audiences once again with his latest single, "Torus," a mesmerizing piece inspired by the cyclical swimming patterns of basking sharks. Jamie explains, "In this piece, I was inspired by basking sharks swimming in circles. This behavior mirrors my own experiences and relationships, often feeling cyclical. The torus-shaped circles these majestic creatures form symbolize the beautiful and wild aspects of life." As Jamie embarks on this new chapter, he looks forward to sharing his music with audiences around the world. This autumn, Jamie will be embarking on a highly anticipated tour across The UK, promising to connect with fans and further his journey as a musician.
