Velcro Bully and Roy Molloy (Free Entry)

Stuart and Declan return to the stage as Velcro Bully, an improvised electronic house music project built on live synths and drums. In a genre often reliant on pre-programmed elements and backing tracks, Velcro Bully takes a different approach by prioritising spontaneity and real-time arrangement. Their performances are based not on fully written songs, but on modular sketches and phrases manipulated and structured live. Stuart handles a multi layer hardware synth, drum machines, laptop and mixer, using the latest features in Ableton Live to dynamically alter scale, key, and melody mid-performance. This system enables a continuously evolving musical landscape where randomised sequences remain harmonically coherent.



The typical rhythmic roles are also inverted. Stuart’s setup provides the steady pulse and structural repetition usually carried by a drummer. Declan, playing a jazz drum kit, takes on the role of embellisher, using fills, flourishes, and expressive textures to disrupt and humanise the electronic framework. The result is an interplay between machine-driven stability and organic unpredictability.



Also performing is Roy Molloy, known for his long standing role as saxophonist and stage partner to Alex Cameron. With his debut solo project, Molloy steps into a new artistic space. His music combines krautrock instrumentals, spoken word elements, and cinematic textures, reflecting the same dry wit and observational style familiar to fans of his past work. The solo material showcases a more introspective and self-contained vision - equal parts storytelling and mood-building. Molloy’s set represents a shift toward a more personal, expressive sound, marking a new chapter in his career as a performer and writer.



Taking the stage in support is Stuart’s alias, Woven Dove, with a DJ set that explores contemporary house music. Expect a solid dancefloor foundation infused with subtle experimentation and a sense of curiosity that drives a diverse musical range.
