Trans-Siberian Express for Talk Club at The Grain Barge
See event details

A gig held at The Grain Barge on Friday 10th January. The event starts at 18:30.


Karen Swan
- Karen Swan is an enigma, famously not the well published author, Karen's soaring vocals paired with haunting lyrics have the ability to transport you to a wonderland of joy and strength. Weaving seamlessly between the avant-garde, folk, alternative rock with a sprinkle of punk attitude, Karen is unique and we are honoured to have her play for us alongside the incredible pyrotechnic mandolin and mandola player Carl Phillip Louis.

Toby Whirl
- A fresh face on the comedy scene (and what a dashing face it is), adorned with a moustache, Toby is the next best thing in comedy. Surreal and relatable, Toby will guarantee to make you laugh. Watch him now before you have to pay out of pocket for it.

Hoop Girls
- Brought together by fate, HOOPGIRLS are not related, they are just the same. Through using hula hoop as a vehicle for expression, they mesmerise with unique energy and erratic flow. Well, energy flows…

The Scuttlers
- One of the 7 wonders of the world they are. A true spectacle to witness live, they could be calm or crazy but I can guarantee that they will keep you transfixed as they blend folk, math rock, post punk and avant-garde.

Trans-Siberian Express
- An odd 6 piece, imposing odd dance moves. The Schwank Splurge-pop party starters who aren't afraid of a didgeridoo. Come see the only band to have been described as 'good if you like trains' or 'great in a moving lift' and enjoy the journey through Siberia.

Entry requirements: no age restrictions
