For September’s Club Night we’re travelling back to the late 90s/ early 2000s with TOPLOADER, Not Another Indie Disco and local guys Neon Fire.

This year Toploader are celebrating the 21st Anniversary of their debut (and UK Top 5) album, which featured ‘that’ song; Dancing in the Moonlight, as well as the critically acclaimed Achilles Heel.

With a reputation as the ultimate crowd-pleasing live band Toploader have backed the likes of Paul Weller, Robbie Williams, Noel Gallagher, Tom Jones, Simple Minds and Bon Jovi, where they became the last British band to play the original Wembley Stadium. They have also appeared at a host of major festivals including Glastonbury, V-Festival, T In The Park and Chris Evans’s CarFest.

Come and see them in Guernsey this September, with the guys from Not Another Disco playing Indie Classics to sing along and fill the dancefloor, and local guys Neon Fire, opening up the evening.

We are putting together more bands and DJs for the other rooms to really make this a night to remember.

Food and Drinks will be available at Local & Wild all night.

Doors/Bar:7pm | Music: 8pm | Age: 18+

Please note: The doors/bars open at 7pm, so why not come in early, have a drink and get ready for the show to start at 8pm.

Best known as one of the stars of The Fast Show and Bellamy’s People, with Paul Whitehouse, Simon Day takes to the road this autumn with his new show Simon Day and Friends.

On a tour that runs from September to November and stretches across the length and breadth of England and Scotland, Day is accompanied by a rich array of some of his most loved and instantly recognisable characters, including blazer wearing music hall legend Tommy Cockles, the acclaimed Yorkshire poet Geoffrey Allerton, unlikely eco warrior Dave Angel and reformed violent criminal Tony Beckton.

TOMMY COCKLES says – “Great to be travelling around the country again, in the old days I was in a double act with David Niven. We could only afford a single room and he would hang off my shoulders so the landlady would only hear one pair of feet!!”

DAVE ANGEL says – “I will be spreading autumnal vibes throughout the land, eeeee.”

TONY BECKTON says – “The government have allowed me to take my tag off for the shows!”

GEOFFERY ALLERTON says – “I will be travelling by bicycle as the trains are too expensive and the smell of different crisp flavours causes migraines”

Simon Day was born in 1962 and grew up in Blackheath, London. He discovered a talent for stand-up in his twenties, winning a Time Out Best New Act award in 1991. After working with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, he starred in BBC TV’s classic The Fast Show. His memoir, Comedy and Error, was published in 2012 and he has had two series of The Simon Day Show on Radio 4. Day starred in the sitcom The Function Room on Channel 4. With film credits including Shakespeare In Love, Run Fatboy Run and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and extensive TV credits including Heartbeat, Red Dwarf, Jonathan Creek, Holby City, Skins and of course, The Fast Show, Simon is a legend of the small screen.

Please note: Doors/Bar open at 7pm | Show starts at 8pm

Labelled as an “indie pop wunderkind” by Avro Telvanni, Cambridge-born 22-year-old Ellie Dixon creates self-produced, punchy bops with groove and a sense of humour. Producing from her bedroom studio, she has created her own brand of self-aware alt-pop described by She Wolf as “pop music with brains”. Dixon fuses her bespoke blend of indie pop, rap, jazz and R&B as she expresses life lessons and frustrations through witty lyrics and earworm melodies. Influences include; Easy Life, Still Woozy, BENEE and Anderson .Paak while oozing with her own personality, creativity and a love for the unconventional. Both her musical versatility and self-made, joyous visuals have been catching the ears and eyes of many, landing her Spotify editorial play-listing, radio play on BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music, and backing from distributor CD Baby.

Ellie released her single ‘Space Out!’ in July 2020 which received overwhelming support and has now reached 300k Spotify streams. She then released her single ‘Sucker’ in February 2021 which has already had airplay from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and featured on Spotify’s ‘New Pop UK’ playlist. This is her second single in the run-up to an EP dropping this summer.

Ellie launches into her UK Tour after various festival appearances throughout the summer. This is one not to be missed – check out Ellie Dixon on Instagram or TikTok @elliedixonmusic to get prepared.

Support comes from local indie/alt duo Lula & Gene.

Five professional singers from the National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company will perform a selection of well known songs from the best loved Gilbert & Sullivan operas, such as The Mikado, Pirates of Penzance, HMS Pinafore, Patience, The Gondoliers, Iolanthe, and The Yeomen of the Guard to piano accompaniment. The important role of Narrator will be performed by Simon Butteriss, who has more than 40 years experience of singing In Gilbert & Sullivan operas and of interpreting the texts for modern audiences – no mean task! This will appeal to both life long G & S fans and to a younger audience who will find the satirical libretto surprisingly relevant to the modern age. And we guarantee that you will go away humming some if not all of the tunes!

Ardal O’Hanlon, star of such shows as Father Ted and Death in Paradise, and recently seen in Taskmaster and Would I Lie to You, continues to tour his acclaimed (and very silly) live show worldwide.

The Showing Off Must Go On

Ardal is conflicted. Where he comes from there is nothing worse than showing off. It’s right up there with arson or murder. Yet he shows off as a way of life. Three questions. Why? Why? Why?But just when he thought he’d made sense of the world, when he’d finally found wisdom and peace, the world went mad again, fell off its axis. And you can’t just stand idly by. In an age of raging populism, angry identity politics, the end of truth, the collapsing middle ground, and peak avocado, Ardal, an otherwise gentle voice of reason is forced to rejoin the fray. Terrified of being on the wrong side of history and keen to prove his age, race, gender and class don’t necessarily define him as a person, he turns to comedy, comedy as ever being the best, most therapeutic emergency response to extreme events there is.

They’re surfers, they build their own effects pedals and they once sketched out the designs for a synthesiser played entirely by pigeons – but on their second full-length album, the endlessly inventive Isle Of Wight five-piece Plastic Mermaids are facing their dark side.

At the heart of Plastic Mermaids is the creative force of two brothers, Douglas and Jamie Richards, sons of a Gurnard boat-builder, who approach life like an art project, putting as much love into their band’s visual concepts and staging as they have into their unique brand of psych-rock and electronica.
