Have a look at Whitelands. They supported Slowdive on the recent reunion tour and are headlining Gazefest sometime this year.

I've been lucky enough to play at Yolanda's jam night at the Spice of Life. Her current band were the house band for the jam, so that's how scary it was. Also hugely recommended is the No Treble podcast/interview she did, https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2020/03/05/groove-episode-63-yolanda-charles/

Was there a Joshua Tree?

I am also here! Being unhip up squeezed against the beer fridge and coffee machine.

Ah yes now the Bass Day EU website says CLS Conference Centre as mentioned above. CLS = City of London School btw, https://www.cityoflondonschool.org.uk/ and some of the event spaces look pretty cool https://www.cityoflondonschool.org.uk/venue-hire/

Magazine by the O2 has been mentioned before https://magazinelondon.co.uk/whats-on/

Steve Lawson has mentioned on his facebook that he's doing a (literal) coffee shop gig in Peckham in February: "London! I've got a really fun lil gig coming up in Peckham. Fri Feb 21st, with beautiful human and fabulous bassist @bassdbler. It's at @ronspeckham, starts at 7pm and tickets are PWYW on the door, but lemme know if you're coming as the place is tiny and we might have to rethink the no tickets thing if a ton of people want to be there 😂. Please spread the word. It's my first London gig since before the pandemic and it's a warm-up for another gig TBA soon. Plus you'll get to see JD and he's fabulous 💜" https://fb.watch/xu0GasRXr6/ https://ronspeckham.com/

Yolanda Charles has "Instramentals just might be doing something at the bass show this year" on her Facebook feed. (not seen much else, admittedly) https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15AVNbrs1R/

Perfect! Gator Icon does the job. Just need to repack it so Santa can redeliver in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the assist!
