TIM HOLEHOUSE & THE ESCAPE GHOSTS
Tim Holehouse is one of the hardest-working musicians out there. For the past 18 years he has been touring the globe, like a stone gathering no moss has brought influences as varying to his sound today. Breaking the 250-300 gig mark most years, Tim leads somewhat of a nomadic existence, but for all intents and purposes, treats London as his home when not out plying his trade to international and domestic audiences.
Tim is equally prolific with his recording as he is with his travels, when not gigging his way round the US, Canada, Japan, Iceland, Australia or Europe, he has found the time to release 20 albums and countless split releases, often with artists he tours with.
Tim's own sound is hugely varied too, often able to adapt to performing sets depending on the atmosphere of a show. He has been known to release folk, blues, experimental music and much more besides, often on a single tour. Tim's songs come from a place of honesty and a keen ear for anything creative regardless of genre. His own philosophy is that, 'if music is good, it's just good, right?'
Tim often quotes from one of his favourite films, 'Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure':
'Be excellent to each other.”

THE METATRONS
The Metatrons are a delightfully fuzzy Riot-Pop band all the way from Hitchin. After signing to Chapter 22 Records in 2019 they released their "Deconstruction" album, which was a fantastic critical success, being called "The pinnacle of quality pop" and "a thunderous slice of pop majesty". Vive le Rock said the album was "bursting with bright, driving rhythms...you should hear them"
The band toured the album, opening for Altered Images on their UK tour in 2022 to add to the already impressive list of great bands they've worked with - Shonen Knife, Echobelly, The Primitives, Dodgy, The Blockheads, The Darling Buds, The Membranes, Steve Craddock and Glen Matlock to name but a few.
2023 had more great shows and a summer full of festival appearances, just as they released their 4th album "Lumination" on Chapter 22 Records in June.
All of the members of the band have very strong ties to The Green Room, having both played and booked many shows there in several different bands including The Astronauts, Redmaxx, The Sindys and Los Chicos Muertos since its original opening.

BILLY LUNN (THE SUBWAYS)
A fantastic chance to see the frontperson of (what must be) Welwyn Garden City's most successful musical export to the known world, The Subways, in a venue this size performing a rare acoustic set.
Billy, like a great many people on this line up, was there at the very start of The Green Room and we are delighted to have him here again at its reopening.

GAVIN MCCANN (REDMAXX)
The charismatic and very noisy frontperson of Redmaxx (a very early abuser of The Green Room) very rarely plays shows but as it is a special occasion he will be cutting the ribbon at this reopening party. As well as Redmaxx, Gavin fronted the fantastic WGC band Mania in the mid-nineties - a favourite of the late great John Peel - and was a longtime member of The Trailer Trash Orchestra.
