Need a plan for Saturday night?

LOUD WOMEN is joining forces with Crossroads of Progress for a special one-off show at the legendary Hope & Anchor in Islington, bringing together three brilliant bands for an evening of grassroots music.

On the bill are The Outers, Radiogirl and The 53 – three bands with plenty of hooks, energy and heart, each bringing something completely different to the stage.

The Outers serve up sharp, fuzzed-up garage rock that’s impossible to stand still to. Radiogirl deliver soaring indie rock songs that stay with you long after the last chorus. Meanwhile, The 53 prove that a drums-and-guitar duo can make a truly enormous sound.

If you’re looking for somewhere to escape the heat, we’ve also heard the Hope & Anchor boasts the crispest air conditioning in Islington (fact checked).

The show is pay what you want on the door, so come along, discover your new favourite band and support one of London’s most iconic grassroots venues.
