Fri 22nd May 20:00 TONE CLUB :: THE TURF :: MINUS IQ :: PICTURE BOOK

Liam McKeever, Charlie Bone, John Procter, Joe Bone & Joe Zain... but you can call them The Turf. 5 lads from Nottingham doing what they love, and that just happens to be playing rock'n'roll songs. They’ve played Rock City, Rescue Rooms, Junktion7, and regularly at The Running Horse, always supported by their loyal, buzz chasin' fanbase. They won the Trent FM Future Sound of Nottingham competition in February.

Hailing from North London, Minus IQ are hitting the UK hard with their unique brand of dangerously catchy stadium-sized electronic rock. With 200+ national gigs under their belt, they continue to enthral audiences with a live experience laden with infectious energy that's definitely not be missed.

Picture Book - Last summer, bored musicians Master ToKo and Lord highOwl decided to embark upon a voyage across Scandinavia in search of something New and Exciting! One morning whilst out searching for firewood, they encountered a frail, angelic creature clutching an enchanted book. Silently she showed them the mystical images within, rendering Master ToKo and Lord highOwl instantly under her spell. They named the girl Aya 'The Goddess of the forest'. She followed them for 3 days and 3 nights, communicating only through song in a language unknown to them. Finding this the most beautiful sound they'd ever witnessed, they agreed to return to their former occupations as music makers and accompany her voice with their creations.
