UWTSD Summer Degree Shows Afterparty

Join us for what is always one of our favourite nights of the year!

Following the opening of UWTSD’s College of Art Summer Shows, every year the city’s most creative students head over to High Street for a shindig to match any other.

Last year DJ Triv did such a good job on the decks we asked him to come back and thankfully he said yes! He’ll be starting at 9pm and spinning tunes until 1am - don’t miss this one!

A Band Named Brian

Accompanied by violinist Rob Whale, they cycle from venue to venue, raising awareness – and spirits – through the medium of song. Two parts Billy Bragg to one Part Levellers, with a touch of Johnny Cash and a side order of Beans on Toast: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry… you may even dance!

Heathen Apostles

Heathen Apostles

Born of the voices of past lives and baptized in the dust bowl dirt, the Gothic Americana music of the Heathen Apostles harkens back to a bygone chapter of American history. Using contrasting influences such as Bauhaus, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and The Pogues along with Howlin’ Wolf, Loretta Lynn (the band covers her classic Fist City) and Bessie Smith, the Heathen Apostles have created a style of music that will conjure both angels and demons, and will enlighten a darkened soul.

Pictish Trail + HMS Morris + Crash Tonic

Pictish Trail, AKA Johnny Lynch, has just completed work on a brand-new album — LIFE SLIME —  a sticky, shimmering swirl of sound and oooze (both metaphorical and literal). To celebrate, he returns to the stage in 2026 accompanied by his full live band. These shows bring the new songs to life in bold, expansive form — rhythmic, euphoric and immersive, balancing motorik pulse with warped pop melody and raw emotional release. Expect tenderness, weirdness, and a generous dollop of goo.
