On Thursday Harp & A Monkey will perform in the intimate setting of the Archway Room at Arden Road Social Club.

They’ll be singing songs about cuckolded molecatchers, a lone English oak tree that grows at Gallipoli, care in the community and medieval pilgrims.

Following on from last year’s Billy Childish collaboration Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon and their recent acoustic record A Season in Hull, Bamboo Diner in the Rain sees The Wave Pictures battling against the robot music apocalypse.

The new album is a bluesy, boozy love letter to the guitar, filled with American Primitive instrumentals, John Lee Hooker chugs and Link Wray style minor-key surf music. Support comes from Manchester band She Makes War (another BBC 6 session band) and local act Little Fiasco. Full details www.doghouseuk.com
