BMX Bandits Live on The Golden Hinde

Sunday 28 June 2026 Doors 7:30pm | Show 8pm Step aboard The Golden Hinde for an intimate, stripped-back performance from cult Scottish pop group BMX Bandits. Led by songwriter and vocalist Duglas T Stewart, BMX Bandits have spent four decades crafting a singular musical world - blending melodic charm, wit and emotional depth into songs that are as life-affirming as they are quietly devastating. Long celebrated as one of Britain's most beloved cult bands, their influence stretches far and wide, with admirers including Kurt Cobain and a legacy rooted in the rich history of independent UK music. From early releases alongside The Vaselines and Beat Happening to their time on Creation Records - alongside acts such as Teenage Fanclub, Primal Scream and My Bloody Valentine - the Bandits have built a catalogue that is both expansive and deeply personal. Their most recent album, Dreamers on the Run (2024), has been hailed as one of their strongest works to date, praised for its bold and richly textured songwriting. Renowned for their warm, celebratory live shows, BMX Bandits bring a sense of joy, humour and emotional honesty to every performance. This special stripped-back set offers a rare chance to experience their songs in a more intimate, acoustic setting. Set within the atmospheric surroundings of a historic Tudor ship, this promises to be a unique and memorable evening with one of the UK's most distinctive musical voices.
