The Task In Hand 20th Birthday Party

Event information

Back in March 2006, when last orders moved to 4am, The Task In Hand launched an alternative late-night club at The Marrs Bar.
That was 20 years ago.

On 28 March, we’re throwing a one-off celebration with some of the original TIH DJs joined by DJ Ed Steelefox, our favourite bands, and a dancefloor shaped by the indie-electro bangers of the mid-2000s.

It might not quite go on till 4am – but it will be worth staying out for.


Our first act to be revealed for the evening is - with their first appearance in quite some time - local legends and The Task In Hand mainstays, The Cape Of Good Hope!

The genre-blending quartet will dust themselves off after we've finally unleashed them from their shackles in The Marr's Bars cellar, bringing their eclectic mix of tech-surf-pop-dub-punk to the party.


The next act to be announced is one man math rock maverick, Theo. Sam is probably the act we’ve put on most over the years – and if you ever attended one of our Worcester Music Festival shows, you most likely witnessed his looping, undulating, musical sound scapes. Twiddly guitars, rocked out riffs, and soul pounding drums. It’s great to welcome them back to The Marr’s Bar for the first time in a while!

Plane Crasher cause a condition when a person hears a ringing sound or a different variety of sounds when no corresponding external sound is present and that other people cannot hear.

Plane Crasher is usually associated with hearing loss and decreased comprehension of speech in noisy environments. They are common, affecting about 10–15% of people. Most tolerate them well, and they are a significant (severe) problem in only 1–2% of people.



Vic Smith, also known as SeqBeat, is an electronic musician from the Midlands. Having played folk music all his life, and rock and funk for many years too, he branched out into modular synthesis in 2017, originally with the idea of forming a live dubstep band. That band turned out to be short lived, but it led to a continued descent into the psychedelic rabbit hole of modular and an expanding system of modules and cases. He now performs his own electronic mash of styles solo, as well as using the modular and electronic influence in other fusion lineups.
