Oh My God! It's The Church - The Original Sinners Tours
Wed, Nov 4, 2026
eastside present OH MY GOD! IT’S THE CHURCH The Original Sinners’Tour plus support Newcastle - The Grove Wednesday 4th November 2026 Doors 7pm There are live bands. There are cult bands. And then there is Oh My God! It’s The Church, a genre-defying musical revival that has quietly become one of the most electrifying live experiences in the UK. This autumn, the congregation expands as the band announce The Original Sinners Tour, a run of UK and European dates that promises to transform the clubs and halls of unsuspecting towns into ecstatic, sweat-drenched celebrations of rhythm, redemption and righteous noise. It has long been said that Eve was the original sinner, but this band and their fervent followers known as The Congregation, are determined to steal that illustrious title for themselves. Part rock show, part gospel revival, part psychedelic sermon, Oh My God! It’s The Church are not so much a band as a phenomenon. Fronted by the charismatic frontman The Rt Rev Michael Alabama Jackson and powered by his chaotic choir, blistering horns and a rhythm section capable of shaking foundations, their legendary performances fall somewhere between a gig, a comedic cult and a communal awakening. As any of their legions of dedicated disciples will tell you - this band truly has to be seen to be believed (pun intended). The group’s sound is a joyous collision of gospel fervour, funk grooves, soul power and rock’n’roll abandon, somewhere between the spiritual fire of a revival meeting and the swagger of a late-night funk revue. It’s this unpredictable, immersive energy that has built the band a devoted following and earned them a reputation as one of the most thrilling live acts in the country. “MESMERISING” — Evening Standard “11/10 SO GOOD I CRIED” — BBC Introducing “ONE OF THE BEST LIVE ACTS AROUND” — BBC 6 Music “THEY ARE THE FUTURE” — Rob Da Bank, BBC Radio 1

With a killer reputation for vibrant and infectious performances, Cut Capers guarantee to get any crowd on their feet. Their signature fusion of funk, soul, hip-hop, and jazz continues to captivate audiences, earning them widespread support from the likes of Jazz FM. The station has previously named one of their albums ‘Album of the Week’, selected their single ‘Home’ as Nigel Williams’ ‘Tune of the Week’, and added multiple tracks to its prestigious A-List playlist. The band now hits the road to celebrate the release of their fourth studio album, Balance, a bold new record packed with special guest appearances and fresh musical explorations. This tour will showcase the exciting new material alongside fan favourites from albums one, two, and three, creating a setlist that spans the full spectrum of the band’s evolution. Fresh from a triumphant year of touring, including commanding a crowd of 20, 000 at France’s Festival du Bout du Monde, selling out iconic London venues such as The 100 Club and Pizza Express Holborn, and sharing the stage with Acid Jazz legends The Brand New Heavies at the Royal Albert Hall, Cut Capers are bringing their most ambitious live show yet. Get ready for a night where epic arrangements, powerhouse vocals, and scintillating solos collide in a whirlwind of pure live energy. "They're on their way up!"

Brave Exhibitions present COLA
Fri, Nov 6, 2026
*C. O. L. A. *is *sort of* a self-titled album. It’s an acronym for *Cost of Living Adjustment, *a fitting conceptual framework for the band’s third record. Why? Because *C. O. L. A. *considers, among other things, socialism vs. hell. It considers: rolling the dice of life. The eerie and sweet pangs that nostalgia can provoke. This is not new territory for band members Tim Darcy, Evan Cartwright, and Ben Stidworthy. It is, in Cartwright’s words “a deepening of what we’ve been doing.” *C. O. L. A. *is an intricate, beautiful, and sometimes strange record. It is the band’s most refined offering. A perfection of carefully honed aesthetic impulses.
