Description
The Deirdres arrived on the UK indiepop scene in mid-2007 out of nowhere – well, out of Derby – and instantly reduced grown men to grinning loons with their uniquely charming style of twinkly lo-fi shamblepop. With a debut EP on the Cloudberry label, this fresh-faced six-piece (last time we counted) offers harmonies, handclaps and cute grins to leave you glowing all the way home.

MJ Hibbett & the Validators have been around a bit longer – but four albums in, there's no shortage of new ideas and the live shows keep getting better. This is endlessly inventive songwriting, offering brilliant and eternally optimistic insights into urban regeneration, office politics, rubbish supermarkets, The Smiths, Take That, Windows XP, and what to do when Thatcher finally carks it.

The 10p Mixes are bringing their deceptively simple (i.e. actually quite clever) acoustic indiepop to Sheffield for the first time. A new Liverpool two-piece, they do pretty, pretty songs with a kick and a twist of sadness, sounding both childlike and wry within a single breath. They will play on in your head all week, and you'll love every minute.

Nat Johnson is the instantly recognisable and, dare we say, utterly captivating voice of Sheffield's celebrated Monkey Swallows the Universe, whose two albums and fantastic live shows have brought great joy to audiences throughout the kingdom. This is Nat's first solo popshow and promises to be a rather special and intriguing moment. Don't miss it!
