Event information

A gig to celebrate the release of 'Under The Bridge 2'', a compilation of bands and artists with 'Sarah Records' connections

Secret Shine emerged from the late eighties/early nineties shoegaze scene. Releases on the cult label Sarah followed, most notably the single Loveblind and album Untouched. After a long lay off in 1996, the band reformed again in 2004

Jetstream Pony are based in Brighton and Croydon The band features Beth Arzy (The Luxembourg Signal, Lightning in a Twilight Hour, Trembling Blue Stars) on vocals, Shaun Charman (The Wedding Present, The Popguns) on guitar, Kerry Boettcher (Turbocat) on bass and Hannes Mueller (The BV's) on drums.
JSP had a self-titled debut studio album on KUS and Shelflife Records in May 2020. The album received fantastic reviews, selling out two pressings before being reissued by Spinout Nuggets in the Autumn and reaching many best-of-year lists.
After two more sold out singles, mini-album "Misplaced Words" arrived in Dec 2021. The album develops the sound from the debut, with the balance between indie-pop and something darker intact. Beth's wonderful voice and twelve string guitar are underpinned by heavy bass, harmonies sometimes by a two drummer rhythm section.
