Gig review: Madra Salach at Rescue Rooms, with Tanzana

Wed 14 Oct 2026

The show at Rescue Rooms marked the second-to-last date of the tour, adding an extra sense of significance to the evening.

Gig review: Man/Woman/Chainsaw at Rescue Rooms

Fri 09 Oct 2026

Let’s start with a little history lesson. Around the late 2010s, a scene began to emerge based out of the south of London.

Formed in 2019 by Billy Ward and Vera Leppänen, they have expanded into a sextet of some of the finest musicians in the British Isles. Now, they are taking their critically acclaimed debut album Cannonball on the road - and they stopped at Rescue Rooms to show just how much they can do...
