Hidden Bittern and Unglam Folkestone present…

The chance to catch three of Folkestone’s finest, catchiest, noisiest, most fun, most female bands TOGETHER on one Saturday night bill, plus DJ NICONICO (Bimbeaux Collective).

This is an absolute celebration of Folkestone’s grassroots music scene. All three bands started playing less than 18 months ago. Boom.

Hidden Bittern are Folkestone’s premier bird-based punk band. Their catchy indie pop will ruffle yr feathers, take you through the Twilight movies in three minutes, and leave you spinning like you’re on a wheely chair.

Miss-Fit Sisters and SHE-BITE came roaring out of the Unglamorous Music movement in Folkestone. These all-women bands play post-punk and garage punk, where the only rules are: make music and have fun!

Come and experience some proper local energy and inventiveness.

There will be: shouting, bad dancing, silly lyrics, fashion rebellion, songs about IVF, teen vampires and fat.

There will be no: twiddling your thumbs between bands.

Oh, and DJ NICONICO has been given one word to go on after the bands: ‘BANGERS’.

£8, £6 concs. Get tickets while you can.

Live Music: ALMAHATA

Having taken time away from this project over the past year whilst touring internationally with friend and fellow songwriter, Bess Atwell, Phoebe is returning to the stage for an intimate, hometown show in Folkestone.
What to expect from the evening? Connection, honesty and creating community through vulnerability. A short soundbath in lieu of a support act. The experience behind each song. Songs from 2014 and songs from 2025. Hopefully a few laughs along the way too.
