Had a fun time last night at day 1 of the @fikarecordings.com #WinterSprinter seeing the lovely Jessica’s Brother and Steven Adams and new-to-me British Birds. This is one of my favourite London institutions!

Another glorious Winter Sprinter night with The Just Joans. Their new album came out on Friday and is another classic. #chopsgigs #thejustjoans #wintersprinter @fikarecordings.com @thejustjoans.bsky.social @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social

More #WinterSprinter fun tonight with The Moats, Starter Car and Comet Gain - plus lots of good company. That’s me done for this year I think, but here’s hoping @fikarecordings.com will do the honours again in 2027 (probably too exhausted to even think about it for now).

Winter Sprinter day 1 also included Jessica’s Brother playing a set with a lot of new material & Steven Adams playing solo. A great night all in with a load of pals in the audience #chopsgigs #wintersprinter @fikarecordings.com

Carla J Easton also played a cracking set of new songs from her upcoming solo album and new to me Copenhagen based band Pelts opened the bill in style #chopsgigs #carlajeaston #pelts #wintersprinter @fikarecordings.com @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social @carlajeaston.bsky.social

I first saw @carlajeaston.bsky.social fronting TeenCanteen at Wales Goes Pop in 2014, and immediately loved their sound. I've followed her solo career ever since, and that's equally great. So it was a treat to see her again (now with added guitar), just perfect pop music! #wintersprinter

Belated snaps from Wednesday night’s first evening of Winter Sprinter at The Lexington. British Birds were excellent, so glad I finally saw them. I think I even played a small role in getting them the gig! #chopsgigs #wintersprinter @fikarecordings.com #britishbirds

Gig number 4 of 2026 sees @wcba.bsky.social and I back at @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social for the fourth and final night of @fikarecordings.com's Winter Sprinter. They may only be one EP old, but Denmark's Pelts have a bright future, definitely ones to watch #wintersprinter

The final night of Winter Sprinter was a corker. The Just Joans headlined & were a joy, it was awesome to see Witching Waves back in London & Nathy SG was the perfect opener #chopsgigs #wintersprinter

Despite going to Rockaway Beach,for me Winter Sprinter feels like the real start of the gig year. Night 1 saw the excellent triple bill of Ex-Vöid, New Starts & Schande at The Lexington. It was mint #chopsgigs #wintersprinter #fikarecordings #thelexington #exvoid #schande @darrenhayman.bsky.social

Headliners were Ex-Vöid who are from the post-Joanna Gruesome family of bands. Sharing members and songwriters with The Tubs means that they work with the same blend of folk melodies and post-punk. So good.
