'Bands, those funny little plans, that never work quite right...' Don't forget Mercury Rev tickets go on sale at 10am this morning. Understandably, had a lot of interest in this so we don't expect tickets to hang around. Slide Record Shop in town will have 50 paper tickets available.

The very wonderful Cloth…

Tonight in Room 2, Mogwai approved beautiful pop music from Cloth - for fans of The XX, Low, The Blue Nile, Talk Talk. Tickets available on the door.

Other gigs today include: @franzferdinandhq.bsky.social Franz Ferdinand (London), White Denim at Wylam Brewery Newcastle, Chuck Prophet at The Garage in Highbury, and @snappedankles.bsky.social at @bedfordesquires.bsky.social - Tickets and more info => allgigs.co.uk#gotd #ItsAllAboutTheGigs

All is dream…. 😍

Coming up this week!

Simply stunning solo show by @andybebop.bsky.social in Room 2 this evening. And a lovely reverential audience too! Check out Andy’s brilliant new album ‘Pinball Wanderer’, out this week via @soniccathedral.bsky.social

“If British music is one of the most powerful exports we have, why have you treated it like an after thought for so many years?" — Myles Smith at the #BRITs The line about grassroots venues was spot on!

Tomorrow at @bedfordesquires.bsky.social !! The brilliant Andy Bell @andybebop.bsky.social is playing a special acoustic set of his fantastic new album ‘Pinball Wanderer’ (out now on @soniccathedral.bsky.social ) I’ll be spinning some tunes as well 🙌 See you there! x

Delighted to be finally bringing the brilliant Jane Weaver to Bedford this August. Tickets on sale 10am Friday from the usual places. In association with Arts Council England a limited number of tickets will be available for just £5 to those on a low income or struggling financially.

Nice show to announce at 10am. See you in 4 hours!

New show! Miles Hunt makes a welcome return. Seated, so limited tickets, available now from Seetickets.

Just put two James Taylor tickets up for tonight @bedfordesquires.bsky.social looking for a good home. Unfortunately can no longer make it.

@sybilivw.bsky.social Hi Sybil. Do we know IVW dates for 2026 yet? Thanks!

DJ Yoda’s new 80’s mixtape audio visual show is brilliant fun. Thanks to everyone who came last night, especially those in fancy dress…

Less than 25 tickets remaining for the Big Special curated all-dayer at Esquires on Easter Sunday, featuring acts like The Pill, Gans, Alien Chicks, Enjoyable Listens and a special headline set from those Big Special boys. Remaining tickets from SEE. www.seetickets.com/event/big-sp...

This gig was a special fundraising concert for S.O.B.S (Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide), CHUMS (Supporting Mental Health Improving Lives) and Samaritans. Thank you to everyone who donated and supported the event. All profits will be donated to support all three charities. 📸 Ian Campbell

Last night was a dream! Thank you to The Grubby Mitts for choosing to run this event at the venue, to Simon Munnery, Jarvis Cocker and Alexis Taylor. We hope everyone who was lucky enough to get a ticket had a good time, and enjoyed this special show as much as us. 📸 Ian Campbell

Either this is some weird cheese dream or Jarvis Cocker and Alexis Taylor are in the house…

Well, this is hardcore.

With over 50% of tickets already snapped up, we can finally confirm that the amazing Gurriers will be one of your main stage headliners for Ceremony 5 on the 7th June 2025!

Brilliant write up in Uncut. Next month looking good for new music. @andybebop.bsky.social

Ceremony 4.5

Ceremony 4.5

Heartworms sounding just as incredible as Saturday on Steve Lamacq’s show right now…

Outstanding lineup and a great day at @bedfordesquires.bsky.social on Saturday. I knew how good #Divorce are, but fab sets also from #Congratulations who got the crowd jumping, #Kynsy who’s grown since she supported NewDad, and #Heartworms who will be playing some very big stages very soon!

@gillespeterson.bsky.social @bedfordesquires.bsky.social Oreglo - a revelation

A long but brilliant day at Ceremony 4.5 yesterday. Massive love to all the bands who appeared. Just an incredible day of new music. And pizza. Hope you all discovered something amazing. Limited tickets for Ceremony 5 In June (and Big Special's Big Night Out in April) remaining...

Why arnt you all raving about Congratulations, guys?!? They were, as ever, fucking brilliant at @bedfordesquires.bsky.social . Seriously. Get. On. Board.

Ceremony 4.5 is go! Thanks to everyone for turning up early! A less than wonderful photo of the wondrous Wunderbug.

Today is Ceremony 4.5 day! Here are your set-times - try and come down early if possible and check everyone out. Event is completely sold out. There will be a pizza truck for food, but you can also come and go as you please. If you message us today, we may not see it straight away!

Big love to the people saying lovely things about Esquires in the comments to this article... www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...
