Joining Frank & Walters for their special acoustic duo show will be Tide Glass

Tide Glass are an acoustic duo from Calderdale, West Yorkshire. “Our songs rise from the flotsam of life’s tides—parts sunk that resurface, parts changed that keep their essence, parts former that become present, and vice versa.”

“Our music traces life’s shifts, capturing the tension between our need for certainty and the ever-evolving coves we inhabit.”

Join us Saturday 16th May
at The Grayston Unity

Tickets £23
Available via seetickets or the bar 🎟️

Formed in 2025, Fantôme features soothing deep vocals and heavy guitar, with a blend of acoustic and cinematic artistry. Fantôme broke health and safety regulations during their first gig.

What to expect?A haunting blend of Kieran Royston’s deep vocals and acute storytelling with his acoustic guitar, whilst Ashley Shepherd drives the grit on the electric guitar and polishes it off with backing vocals.

Our friend Ellis Best (The Hazy Janes) will be joining us and doing his very best to warm you all up.

Head down to The Grayston on Saturday, 30th of May,for a special night.

Tickets £6 available by the bar or via the seetickets link.

Next Week!! 🎟️

Your reminder to get your tickets ready for next weeks@leisuresociety + @tombrightmusic gig, here at The Grayston Unity on Friday 15th May 🙌🏻

The Leisure Society was founded by Nick Hemming, who grew up in Burton-on-Trent. Over the years, the band have received high praise for their oustanding songwriting and production craft, winning two Ivor-Novello nominations and Rough Trade Albums of the Year.

As a teenager, Nick formed the indie band She Talks To Angels with his art college friend, director Shane Meadows plus the actor Paddy Considine.

Following the band’s split, Nick was scooped up by local indie hopes The Telescopes, who were signed to Creation Records. Shane Meadows remained a supporter, hiring Nick to score 1999’s A Room For Romeo Brass and 2004’s Dead Man’s Shoes, but Nick was losing his confidence.

Everything changed with the arrival of fellow Burton-on-Trent exile Christian Hardy, who worked with Nick to develop and record new songs and encouraged him to venture out on stage.

The Leisure Society was born and developed rapidly, with an initial landmark being the single ‘The Last Of The Melting Snow’, which was championed by Dermot O’Leary on Radio 2, and Radcliffe and Maconie, and Guy Garvey on 6Music.

They’ve collaborated and toured with artists including Ray Davies, Brian Eno, Laura Marling, Neil Hannon, Richard Thompson, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott.
Genuinely breathtaking.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
