Look, this isn’t a grand concert hall. Blondie hasn’t played here. But it doesn’t matter: it’s the Old Pint Pot. Despite a few changes (like an old friend with a new haircut) its heart stays true, & with over a decade as an SFTOC venue, it's one of our most steadfast companions.

🎶 Maxwell Hall is back as a live music venue for Sounds from the Other City this May!

🎙️ Tim France, our Director of Music, spoke to BBC Radio 4 Today this morning about the forthcoming concert
