The Blockheads – 2ND NIGHT (SOLD OUT)

Following their amazing three sold out nights at Acapela in  2023, we welcome back The Blockheads for a second night in 2024 .

Acapela Studio presents one of the most loved bands of the 70s, The Blockheads! They will be performing a large selection of their classic songs spanning over five decades including ‘What a Waste’, ‘Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll’, ‘Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick’ and ‘Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3’.

Formed in 1977 and originally fronted by lead singer Ian Dury, the band has continued to perform since Ian’s death in 2000. The band still boasts original members Chaz Jankel (guitar and keyboards), Mick Gallagher (keyboards and piano) and John Turnbull (vocals and guitar) along with an impressive band including John Roberts and Nathan King with a rolling line-up of saxophonists and their brilliant new lead vocalist .

 

SUPPORT – GG FEARN

GG Fearn is a 23-year-old Welsh dark pop musician, Cambridge law graduate, and a little bit of a weirdo. Hailing from Carmarthen, obsessed with writing music since 13 – she is a multi-instrumentalist always chasing a strange, unexpected sound.

Her latest single, “Permanent Record”, stands as a dark pop anthem that confronts the realities of a world saturated with technology. A true solo effort, GG wrote, produced, mixed, and mastered the single herself. “Permanent Record” marks a new chapter for GG, following her debut EP “Black Mirror,” which captivated audiences with its exploration of self-identity and unique dark pop sound. The EP garnered praise from BBC Radio Wales, solidifying her place as an emerging artist to watch in the BBC Horizons scheme. Her latest album “Scopophobia: Songs from the Motion Picture” was written as the soundtrack for the independent Welsh feature film Scopophobia, a story of four girls with something dark lurking beneath the surface. GG‘s music is influenced by the raw honesty of Fiona Apple, musical experimentation of Radiohead and whimsy of Kate Bush.

Book a table for pre-concert dining

Acapela Studio provides pre-concert dining between 6.00pm and 7.30pm from our pizza oven. To view the current menu visit here.

Please purchase your concert tickets first before booking a table. We will not accept any table bookings that do not have a corresponding ticket purchase.

Then return to the event page to book your table, by selecting the date of your event, number of diners and time you require table. The times shown are the only vacancies left.  Please complete your email and phone number as this is required to ensure your table is allocated. You will receive confirmation of your booking by email and text.

If on the date you have chosen no tables are available - no times will be shown and the booking system will revert you back to todays date - PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK THE CORRECT DATE!

PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE RELIES ON THE INCOME FROM DINING TO ENSURE WE CAN BOOK ALL THE GREAT ACTS PERFORMING.

Income from the provision of pizzas is very important to the venue and if you have booked a table it is a requirement that all people sat at tables order food - a salad alternative is available to pizzas. Please do ensure that all individuals will be ordering on your table - if  this is not the case please cancel your table so others who are looking to dine can do so. Our apologies to raise this but recently we have had many tables (some very large) where less than 50% of those sat at tables have ordered food. Financially this is a real problem to the sustainability of the venue. 

  • All seating at tables must purchase a pizza - so please do not book a table if everyone is not eating.
  • Please ensure that you arrive 10 minutes before the time slot allocated to order your pizzas prior to your booking time.
  • Tables not seated within 15 minutes of the allocated time may be lost and allocated to other audience members wishing to order pizzas.
  • If you wish to book a table for 6 or more please email info@acapela.co.uk

Please note that all of our pizzas are made fresh to order and cooked in an authentic wood-fired oven. It may take up to 45 minutes to be served during busy periods.

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO BOOK A TABLE YOU CAN STILL ORDER PIZZAS ON THE NIGHT (USUALLY ON BUSY NIGHTS NO LATER THAN  7.15PM) AND WE WILL SERVE THEM TO YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE SAT IN THE VENUE - IN A PIZZA BOX.
