Founded in 1984, TMTCH evolved from the Shepherd’s Bush
squatting and busking scene to make their debut supporting Poguemahone
at the Electric Ballroom in Camden in the Easter of that year.

Swiftly their uproarious and engaging style, coupled with keenly
contemporary songs, gained a passionate national following, leading to
a 40 year career filled with much loved music, a dedicated fan
community and high octane performances.

Touring continually throughout their career, TMTCH have crossed the
globe by way of Europe, Canada, USA, Iceland, Egypt and Estonia. They
have appeared at festivals such as Glastonbury, Roskilde, Reading,
Pink Pop and Cambridge Folk and have appeared with a roll call of
International artists such as David Bowie, Van Morrison, Bo Diddley,
The Smiths, Elvis Costello and the Oyster Band to name a few.

Their recordings have been acclaimed in print, on radio and online;
from their definitive version of the anti war classic Green Fields of
France to the anti fascist anthem Ghosts of Cable Street and the epic
historical ballads, Ironmasters and The Colours. Recent albums The
Defiant (2014) and Cockahoop (2018) have seen TMTCH rise again into
prominence; their vitality undimmed.

Devastated by the passing of friend and founder member Stefan Cush
during the Covid lockdown, TMTCH are responding in the only way they
know how; writing, recording and playing live to their ever loyal and
growing community of fans. An anniversary tour is planned for 2024
when they will celebrate their 40th year of raising hell with special
events and a ‘Best of’ release, then in 2025 they will be releasing a
brand new album.

SUPPORT: Johnny Seven were formed after a Rezillos show at Middlesbrough Rock Garden in 1978.  Band members included Dominic Green (vocals/guitar), Paddy Muldowney (Bass), Hugh McShane (Guitar) & Paul Ford (Drums).  

The band were heavily influenced by the MC5 and The Stooges.  

Several local gigs followed and although demos were recorded at St Mary's College in Middlesbrough the band never released a record.

Fast forward to 2012 and the band reformed to support The Rezillos at Stockton's Georgian Theatre and finally got round to releasing an album.   Several support shows followed including 999, The BellRays, The DeRellas, The Godfathers, Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind, The Wildebeests  and XSLF. 

Original members Hugh McShane & Paddy Muldowney departed to be replaced by Peter Wilson and Tony Loughran (The Clashed).   

Peesh from Ashington based punk rockers LoGoz will open the show with an acoustic based set.
