Description

Hailing from Bedfordshire, England growing up on the American roots music of her Anglo-Indian grandmother?s record collection, singer/songwriter Danni Nicholls has been paving her way in the Americana and roots scene for over a decade, building a loyal fan base and much critical praise. After the complete halt in performing live over the past 16 months, Danni is excitedly returning to play for her hometown crowd.

With three acclaimed studio albums, produced by and featuring some of Nashville's finest under her belt and the wind still in her sails from three consecutive Americana Music Association UK award nominations plus extensive tours and opening slots with the likes of Shakin' Stevens The Secret Sisters and Lucinda Williams, Danni, her stunningly powerful, arresting voice and her dynamically poetic songs are ever-building momentum.

Here at Esquires, we have three bars each offering something different. Over nearly 3 decades , the 250 capacity Main Stage has played host to some of the UK’s biggest bands. Muse, Coldplay, Franz Ferdinand, Elbow, Biffy Clyro, The Libertines, Wolf Alice, Royal Blood, Alt-J, Bloc Party, and Enter Shikari have all graced our little stage. And we’re still the place to catch the stars of tomorrow today…

Esquires’ Bar is open Wednesday to Sunday and offers a friendly atmosphere, although it can get competitive around the pool table! Every Wednesday night is our always popular ‘Jam Session’ (with full backline), so bring along an instrument and join in. Additionally, there’s free live music most Fridays and Saturdays, along with the now legendary ‘Sunday Sessions’.

And finally Holy Moly’s with regular gigs, club nights and acoustic sessions. Don’t forget to check out our two guardian angels, Jimi and John, on the stained glass windows. Holy Moly’s is also available for private hire, please call us on (01234) 340120.

Fiercely independent and alternative. No dress code, no idiots.

Age Policy: All gigs at Esquires are 16+. If you look young for your age, bring ID! 14-15 year olds can attend only if accompanied by their parent / legal guardian. Club Nights downstairs on a Friday / Saturday are strictly 18+.
