I did not know Bugeye. I now know Bugeye. I now love Bugeye. Seriously, they're bloody awesome, go and see them if you get the chance, they're ace, you won't regret it! #Leicesterval
Up next were @knittingcircle.bsky.social. Their songs have messages that are important and you should listen to them. You should also listen to them because they are just really bloody good! #Leicesterval
Gig number nine of 2026 sees @wcba.bsky.social back at the Firebug for day two of @sweepingthenation.bsky.social's Leicesterval. Up first were @weareboilers.bsky.social, equal parts angry and hilarious, they were great. Remember, Boilers have got your back #Leicesterval

One of my favourite albums of last year was Autocamper's, so it was a treat to finally see them live. Wonderful indiepop, see them if you get a chance. Turkey cafe. #Leicesterval

It's Pete, sitting at their desk, with a laptop open and an extra screen and loads of books and a speaker, and flyers and notes and things stuck to the wall.
We have 2️⃣ exciting new songs to play at #Leicesterval this weekend 🩷🪩
One uses samples of a ZX Spectrum loading data from tape 🌈
The other is narrated by robots in a near-future post-human society! 🤖
Here's @petegreensolo.com rendering out the backing tracks.
See you there if you're going! 👋
