Description

Shenanigans Music are delighted to welcome back the fantastic Pete Bentham and The Dinner Ladies. They absolutely stormed it at Claptrap in December 2022 so we're really looking forward to this one.

For those of you unfamiliar with the band, we at Shenanigans Music hear hints of classic rock?n?roll, The Modern Lovers and X-Ray Spex combined with fabulous lyrics that put them in the top league alongside the likes of Half Man Half Biscuit.

What the band says ?
?Kitchencore from Liverpool?Make Scouse, Not War!
We play primitive rock and roll and sing about things we believe in. We are part of the European DIY underground scene.
We started in 2008 and have released four full length albums and two vinyl EP?s. We have played hundreds of shows around the UK and Europe and festivals such as Rebellion, Fire in The Mountain and Sound City?

What Anitpop Records say ?
?Their songs are witty and quirky tales featuring sensitive Lorry Drivers, Rude Statues, Goth Postmen and their heroes such as Yuri Gagarin and Marcel Duchamp. Always original, funny and poignant.?

Support on the night comes in the form of Billy Whizz. In a shameless steal from the blurb of their last Claptrap appearance, ?Billy Whizz deliver fast, furious pop-punk with dry wit and a knowing wink. They?re thrashy but never trashy, relentlessly loud and exhilaratingly good?. Check them out at https://soundcloud.com/billywhizzband

Description

We really really like music. We like putting on music events. We also really really like really nice people so we opened an independent venue to give a home to good live music and generally lovely folk. We span many genres. All of them in fact - at least we’re trying to - yes, even Jazz!

We’re friendly, cosy, alternative and intimate. We are a music venue for musicians.
We also do poetry nights, quizzes...you get the gist.

We much prefer original bands. We don’t mind a few covers thrown in but unless you’re offering something quite bonkers & original then it’s generally a no for covers.

Claptrap is 1st floor venue & bar, catering for live music, entertainment, theatre, poetry, quizzes & jazz. (Occasionally hired for private functions).

Not your usual venue - it has Chesterfield sofas, wingback chairs and frilly lampshades aplenty!

An extensive range of bottled and canned craft beers are available incl. Kona, Mongozo, Beavertown, Dark Arts, Siren, Wild Beer Co.

On draught - Freedom 4 Lager, Freedom Pale Ale, Thatchers Old Rascal Cider.
