Upcoming Live Music Events

Ali Oldroyd — Sunday Sessions: Ali Oldroyd Live, Sunday, 26 April 2026, 5:30 PM

Some Sundays you come for a name you already know. Some Sundays you come and discover one. Those are usually the better nights. This week, Derby/Burton-based musician Ali Oldroyd takes the stage at The Brasserie for the first time. Guitar, voice, and a loop pedal — Ali builds every track live from the ground up. One riff layered over another, vocals stacked in real time, until a single guitar becomes a full room of sound. It's one of those performances where you watch the whole thing being constructed in front of you. His range runs from Stone Roses to Amy Winehouse, Lou Reed to Fontaines DC, and originals cut from the same cloth. It's the kind of set that suits a Sunday evening by the river perfectly. Part of what we love about Sunday Sessions is giving our stage to artists worth hearing — whether they've played to thousands or whether this is the first time you'll hear their name. The room decides. That's how it should work. Music from 5:30 PM. Fire-led small plates and our full Brasserie menu served all evening. Birra Moretti and Beavertown Neck Oil on draft. No tickets. No cover charge. Just turn up. Tables go quickly on Sundays — book ahead if you want to dine.
