The Miserable Rich join the fantastic lineup for our special show at The Union Chapel on June 12th – including The Leisure Society, Shoreline, Sons of Noel and Adrian, Sweet Billy Pilgrim, Laish, Rowan Coupland and Kopek.

On top of the surplus of amazing music, the whole chapel will be decorated like a forest and there will be plenty of surprises. Tickets are available here.

We’ll also soon be announcing further details and putting tickets on sale for two other very special “Willkommen takeover…” events this summer, at Charleston House and De La Warr Pavilion in Sussex.

Willkommeners The Miserable Rich are playing at SXSW tomorrow at 18th Over Austin, Hilton Garden Hotel. If you’re over in Texas, do go and see them and our other Humble Soul friend Liz Green.

February sees The Miserable Rich heading out on tour with Canadian pop-folksters Woodpigeon.

Woodpigeon are from Calgary, Canada – they have their second album, Treasury Library Canada, out on End of the Road Records  on 9th February, following on from last year’s debut, “Songbook”.

They are playing at some great venues including our friends at Humble Soul‘s show at one of the finest new venues in the city, The Deaf Institute. Red Deer Club, who are also putting on Sons of Noel and Adrian in April, are promoting the show with them.
