We’re proud to announce we are starting our own regular live music night working with GREEN TAPE.
The format is simple – Once every two months or so, we offer you Feldspar plus two other bands who we think are excellent, followed by some painfully cool DJs playing music til late. They’ll always be Fridays or Saturdays so people can party til late without worrying about the following morning. The idea is simply to put on bands that fit well together who we love, in venues that we love, with beer and wine that we love. Love love love.
Expect Indie Folk / Alternative New Folk and Indie Pop. We want to build a little community of bands and fans, and are going to be actively promoting each night ourselves.
THE FIRST NIGHT was at The George Tavern, Shadwell, which was a great success cramming about 100 people into the ground floor of the beautiful East End boozer. We were still there at 3am.
THE SECOND NIGHT will be held at Rattlesnake Angel, an awesome venue that’s quite new which has a great live music room, on May 31st 2013. We recently filmed a home made music video here as part of our Songs from Empty Venues series. Click here to see that, it’s had a lot of love so far.

New Live Video – ‘The End’, filmed at The Rattlesnake, Angel
Three fifths of Feldspar filmed a completely live version of our new track ‘The End’ at one of Angel’s best music venues, Rattlesnake Live Bar & Kitchen. This is the start of a new series of personal videos around our favourite London venues (or just those who let us in on a Sunday afternoon…)
