FUNDRAISING EVENING FOR ST MUNGO’S
Tuesday 14/04
An evening of songs and improvised electronics, fundraising for St Mungo's homeless charity
St Mungo’s purpose is to end homelessness and rebuild lives. In the midst of some of the highest levels of homelessness and rough sleeping on record, we are needed more than ever. Last year we supported 26,012 people who were homeless, or at risk of it. Of these, 10,240 were people supported by one of our 14 outreach services. We ran 138 services in total, in London and across the South of England. Our work means we were able to provide somewhere safe to stay to 2,183 people every night.

MU/TH/UR
Tuesday 21/04
MU/TH/UR will be performing a stripped down version of songs to celebrate the launch of the inaugural EP ’Doom Pop’ - featuring songs from both ‘Doom Pop’ and the upcoming ‘Slo-Fi’. MU/TH/UR’s music has been called “average” by a handful of people online, and the band has amassed a total of 12 monthly active listeners on Spotify as of March 2026. The music can, and will, be described as a mix between indie pop and post rock, evoking a feeling of hopelessness. MU/TH/UR may or may not be the secret identity of a very famous artist (it’s not).

OLI FITZGERALD TRIO
Tuesday 28/04
With their debut album “What Might Have Been” releasing in January 2026, the Oli FitzGerald Trio are a dynamic and innovative jazz ensemble known for their captivating performances and fresh interpretations of both classic and contemporary jazz. Led by bassist, Oli FitzGerald, the trio also features the incredible pianist Chris Outhwaite and the outstanding drummer Ethan Sweeting who are two of the most in demand young musicians today.
The tunes from the new album “What Might Have Been” were influenced by the music of legendary bassist Charlie Haden with some additional influences from Carla Bley and Kit Downes. It mixes contrapuntal music with rhythmic grooves and textures that creates a different soundworld for the listener to be in. After having an appreciation for the classic piano trio’s through history, this music is truly about melody and the beauty this music can bring out.
The chemistry in the band has developed over years of playing together where spontaneous exchanges and dialogues open up the music whether that is conscious or subconscious. Whenever this band plays, it is all about making great music with depth, control and energy that is executed with elegance.
Be sure to check them out or their new album which is available on Bandcamp (Oli FitzGerald) and physical CD!

IMPROV CHOIR
Wednesday 29/04
Join us for a workshop exploring collective music-making through voice, rhythm, and body percussion. Led by vocalist and facilitator Aixa Figini, this session introduces Rhythm with Signs; a system for conducting real-time improvisation using simple hand gestures.
Working as an improvised choir, participants will create music together in the moment, guided by signs that shape rhythm, structure, and interaction. No musical experience is needed.
The workshop focuses on play, experimentation, and group awareness, offering a space to develop listening, creativity, and confidence through music.
OUR BASEMENT
Bringing something totally unique and exciting to our community. We have renovated our basement into a time capsule which will transport you back to the 70s, with a warm and alluring ambience. Decked out with a hi-fi sound system, come and experience live music in an intimate setting whilst enjoying it with some drinks and empanadas.

El Charquito — “the little puddle” — started life in 2024 and has quietly grown into one of the muddy puddle’s biggest treasures. What began as a simple idea has blossomed into two weekly lounge jams filled with nothing but community spirit and exciting musical energy. Everyone’s welcome — all instruments, all levels, all genres.
Watching this little family grow under our roof, hearing new connections spark and new sounds take shape, has been an absolute honour.
We can’t wait for you to come soak it in with us.
There is a small entry fee just to make sure we can keep these beautiful nights running.
