Event information
David Devant and his Spirit Wife
Though known widely for their 90s call to arms "Ginger," there is so much more to be drawn from the otherworldly experience that is a David Devant and his Spirit Wife performance.
Not just glorious glam infused classic pop anthems, Ginger, Radar or the masterpiece debut album Work, Love life, Miscellaneous. A whole treasure trove of musical and visual treats await. The recent Cut Out and Keep Me album being up there with the best work of their career. The Hope and Ruin is the perfect setting for this Victoriana influenced brilliance. And it's all done by kindness.

Would-be-goods
Would-be-goods are back in Brighton with their elegant and evocative guitar pop.
Jessica Griffin, enigmatic star of 80s cult label él, is at the helm, with guitarist Peter Momtchiloff (Talulah Gosh, Heavenly), Debbie Green, drummer and darling of the London nineties garage scene (Headcoatees), and Andy Warren, legendary bassist of Adam and the Ants and The Monochrome Set.
They will be playing songs from their recent release ‘The Night Life’ as well as favourites from their five critically acclaimed studio albums.
