Sadly Oliver Pinder has fallen foul of the lurgy and won't be able to play Trinity Live this evening. We wish him a speedy recovery.

We've quickly sprung into action by asking the sublime Luna's Moon to return, with the lovely Kaitlyn Smith and Alfie McCarthey jumping onboard the bill, and with Bonneville UK now headlining from 8.15pm. Thanks everyone for helping us with this.

We're back in our 'happy place' within Trinity Market Hull tonight, and it still promises to be a lovely evening of quality live music.

Hope to see you down there.

Oliver Pinder (from 8:15pm)
A real treat this week, having the critically acclaimed Oliver Pinder with us. Having garnered regular radio plays and festival slots galore including humber Street Sesh in 2024, we're delighted to welcome Oliver and his band to the marketplace this Thursday.

The Wakefield-based artist has transformed his sound from its dark indie-folk roots into an eclectic mix of guitar-driven alternative pop anthems and heartfelt piano ballads.

Bonneville UK (from 7:30pm)
Raised in York, and based in Leeds, Bonneville is a proudly Yorkshire feminist artist, captivating audiences with her bold, expressive vocals and forthright lyrics. Her music is a blend of soul and indie, drawing comparisons to artists such as Self-Esteem, Amy Winehouse, Duffy and Rebecca Ferguson.

One of our much loved gems to have featured at Trinity Live over the last few years, along with storming her Humber Street Sesh slot on the Cuban Pete's stage this summer.

Ben Farr (from 6.45pm)
Audrey band member goes solo. A much loved singer-songwriter who's been a key player at the recent Trinity festivals across the summer, sings songs about Hull, heartbreak and radios. Tune in early this week.

Looking forward to a bit more of this tonight at the Polar Bear Music Club at the weekly Sesh night, which is now quietly creeping into its 23rd year of consecutive FREE weekly gigs in Hull.

It's an exceptional line up with the soulful Casino, heading over from Liverpool, fresh from smashing their set at Humber Street Sesh on the main stage, and having recently supported The Zutons. They really are the real deal and one not to miss. It won't be long before you'll be paying top dollar to catch them live, let alone seeing them for FREE in Hull on a school night.

And then there's the exquisite Rushbonds, who return to the Sesh for the second time. Sadly due to illness, they missed out on Humber Street Sesh back in August, but we're delighted to have them back in hull this evening, over from Leeds.
They're really something quite special.

Opening up, it's Hull's very own ace duo, Luna's Moon with Alfie McCarthey and Kaitlyn Smith, who have been making waves at various events this summer from the many Open Mic's in the city, to playing the HSS Acoustic Stage, and more recently Trinity Live. We love 'em.

It's set to be a really special night of quality live music, and it's FREE. Don't let us down Hull. This one counts.
Make the effort please.

Doors from 8pm with Dough Punks in the Beer Garden serving up some awesome Pizza, and with the live music starting from 8.30pm.

The playlist in-between the live music is looking tasty too, as I've been doing some homework on holiday, and seeking out fresh new talent from across the M62 to play at our future events, alongside new releases and demos from some of the city's finest.

With roots tracing back to the early ’90s, Pearl’s Cab Ride were born after a chance encounter in a Hull taxi queue – a fusion of two kindred spirits united by their deep love for music. Since that fateful moment, this funk-infused collective has etched its name into the annals of musical history.

East Yorkshire singer/songwriter Charlotte Lammiman has turned life’s setbacks into opportunities for a new path. After moving to America at 18 on a soccer scholarship, her plans were cut short by a severe knee injury requiring major surgeries.
