Back in the woods presents CHORDSPLITTER - with support from Sock Drawer and Joe Woodhams

CHORDSPLITTER
Chordsplitter is the cutting-edge dreamy synth/soft-rock solo project of 34 year old British drummer and producer, Nick Roberts, musically and culturally rooted in London and Barcelona. 2023 brings Chordsplitter?s debut self-titled album which forays deep into the world of synth drumming, opening up a vast new world of sonic possibilities on the electric drums. Rubbery synth-bass on the kick; overdriven guitar chords on the crash; almost-in-tune upright pianos; wonky classic synths; tuned pipes; hand claps; and ? ironically ? sampled vintage acoustic drum kits, are all orchestrated live in-the-moment at the strike of an e-drum or e-cymbal. Blended with Chordsplitter?s gentle baritone voice, subtle vocoder and vocal harmonizers, the result is a uniquely percussive flavour of dreamy synth/soft-rock.

SOCK DRAWER
Electronic duo Sock Drawer are one of the most exciting new bands on the Brighton scene. They have an album in the can which they have been working on with James Dring ( Gorillaz, Blur, Jamie T). FFO the XX and Romy.

JOE WOODHAM
Joe Woodham?s latest solo album, Worldwide Weather is a lo-fi foley adventure. Featuring wailing guitars aboard hypnotic tape loops, gale force bass VI and squally seagulls. A hazy, looping soundscape of cosmiche guitar, ambient washes, field recordings, folk melodies, gentle propulsion and percussive beats, searching for hidden signals in the shipping forecast.

Description

The Brunswick has been transformed through an extensive refurbishment programme to become the premier music and arts venue in Hove. The owners are committed to providing quality, value for money and a friendly atmosphere.We believe that a pub is an essential part of any thriving community, and should be seen as a facility for the whole community. By encouraging local groups, we run a range of classes: acting, singing, painting, language, wine tasting; and have become a meeting place for a number of groups. With a large garden and a number of meeting rooms, we can offer space for most clubs, societies or social groups. If your looking for somewhere to host your book group, yoga class, dance class, debating club, and so on, give us a call, or better still, pop in. Support your local pub.

Built in the 1930’s, The Brunswick is a striking building with curved bays, turret roofs and brass crittall style windows. Much of the original paneling (the same as used in the Orient Express) has been rescued and restored, particularly in The Venue. Atmosphere and mood change as you move from the beautifully constructed sunny garden through the airy garden room to the bar (a fusion of the best of modern bar and traditional pub). Despite the high-tech sound and stage equipment, the music and arts Venue with its wood paneling, period lighting and fireplace retains a wonderfully cozy feel. Upstairs we have beautifully decorated rooms for meetings and private parties – see Function Room Hire

We offer a broad range of home cooked food every day. Accolades have included “Restaurant quality food at pub prices”; “The best Sunday Lunch in Brighton”; “As an American, I’m very critical of hamburgers – this is one of the best I’ve had anywhere.”
