FRIDAY MAY 15th sees us welcome POP GOD Matthew Ryan Thomas to The Ivy House for a very special headline set, with support from indie pop greats Garden Centre and Animal Soup. And all for FREE!
Establishing himself as a devout student of pop, Matthew Ryan Thomas’s commitment to dizzying showmanship and the suspension of one’s disbelief is what makes the invitation to his ‘wee world’ all the more enticing. For fans of Robyn, Troye Sivan and STEPS.
A keen-eyed songwriter, half cynical, half childlike in his curiosity, Garden Centre's Max Levy plumbs surreal meaning from life’s peculiarities and regularities. He has a knack, not unlike Randy Newman, to make his listener feel affection for the characters within his songs. The train conductor, the man asleep at his desk, the kid on his dirt bike — characters who may otherwise inspire little thought from us in our real lives — here, draw out a feeling of deep connection.
Presented as part of The Ivy House Beer Fest - an annual weekend of guest beers, ciders and culinary delights & three days of FREE live music.
