The Karma Effect - Thursday 29th October
When The Karma Effect was quietly born in the pandemic, vocalist Henry Gottelier could hear in his head how he wanted the project to sound. Henry terms the band's modus operandi "modern vintage", a desire to polish up the retro sounds they were raised on into a gleaming, modern product instead of trying to rehash or recycle them, and certainly without falling into the trap of pastiche. Regardless, their sights are set higher, and in possession of what they believe are their strongest songs yet, they're hungrier to chase their goals than ever.
Although some line-up changes occurred in the background (which sees Nathan Keevil join them on bass, Alan Taylor on drums, and Tom Pitt on keys) the newly assembled line-up convened at The Hive Rooms, in the locale of Gatwick Airport, to nail down what would become 'Cruel Intentions' in July 2025.
This is a ticketed event.

When Admiral Finns Reloaded takes command of The Carlisle, the atmosphere transforms into a realm of pure rock 'n' roll grandeur.
Admiral Finns reloaded
This powerhouse of musical mastery is more than a band; they are a force of nature, an unstoppable tornado of electrifying sound and unparalleled talent.
Thunderous drum beats, blazing guitar solos, and the commanding presence of their lead singer unite to create a sonic experience that is nothing short of epic.
Admiral Finns reloaded
Each performance at The Carlisle becomes an epic saga, where the line between band and audience blurs, and everyone becomes part of the epic tale that Admiral Finns Reloaded weaves.
We at The Carlisle, are extremely proud that Dan Finn, bassist and founder of the Finns in 2016, alongside Phil Osward, Jon Ewen, and John Morris at Admiral Finns Reloaded consider The Carlisle their musical home.
When they hit the stage, it's a night you don't want to miss.
