Carla J Easton also played a cracking set of new songs from her upcoming solo album and new to me Copenhagen based band Pelts opened the bill in style #chopsgigs #carlajeaston #pelts #wintersprinter @fikarecordings.com @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social @carlajeaston.bsky.social

The curtain call
Another glorious Winter Sprinter night with The Just Joans. Their new album came out on Friday and is another classic. #chopsgigs #thejustjoans #wintersprinter @fikarecordings.com @thejustjoans.bsky.social @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social
I first saw @carlajeaston.bsky.social fronting TeenCanteen at Wales Goes Pop in 2014, and immediately loved their sound. I've followed her solo career ever since, and that's equally great. So it was a treat to see her again (now with added guitar), just perfect pop music! #wintersprinter
Gig number 4 of 2026 sees @wcba.bsky.social and I back at @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social for the fourth and final night of @fikarecordings.com's Winter Sprinter. They may only be one EP old, but Denmark's Pelts have a bright future, definitely ones to watch #wintersprinter

Winter Sprinter day 1 also included Jessica’s Brother playing a set with a lot of new material & Steven Adams playing solo. A great night all in with a load of pals in the audience #chopsgigs #wintersprinter @fikarecordings.com

Emma Townson of British Birds on synth & vocals
Lew O’Neill (I think) on drums for British Birds
New bass player who’s name I don’t know
Belated snaps from Wednesday night’s first evening of Winter Sprinter at The Lexington. British Birds were excellent, so glad I finally saw them. I think I even played a small role in getting them the gig! #chopsgigs #wintersprinter @fikarecordings.com #britishbirds
More #WinterSprinter fun tonight with The Moats, Starter Car and Comet Gain - plus lots of good company. That’s me done for this year I think, but here’s hoping @fikarecordings.com will do the honours again in 2027 (probably too exhausted to even think about it for now).
Had a fun time last night at day 1 of the @fikarecordings.com #WinterSprinter seeing the lovely Jessica’s Brother and Steven Adams and new-to-me British Birds. This is one of my favourite London institutions!
I just love Rachel Aggs' energy! #sacredpaws #wintersprinter
Another lovely evening at #WinterSprinter last night with Sassyhiya, Autocamper and Sacred Paws. Thanks to @fikarecordings.com & lovely to see @didnotchart.bsky.social @wiaiwya.bsky.social @precrecs.bsky.social as ever. Hurray for pop music!

The rest of Witching Waves in four piece formation for the first time.
Nathy SG opening the night
The final night of Winter Sprinter was a corker. The Just Joans headlined & were a joy, it was awesome to see Witching Waves back in London & Nathy SG was the perfect opener #chopsgigs #wintersprinter
Headliners were Ex-Vöid who are from the post-Joanna Gruesome family of bands. Sharing members and songwriters with The Tubs means that they work with the same blend of folk melodies and post-punk. So good.

Ex-Void - Owen & Alana previously in Joanna Gruesome.
New Starts - Darren Hayman’s new band with Joely from Adults on guitar, Giles from Tigercats on bass & Will from bands I can’t remember on drums.
Jen Schande of Schande
Despite going to Rockaway Beach,for me Winter Sprinter feels like the real start of the gig year. Night 1 saw the excellent triple bill of Ex-Vöid, New Starts & Schande at The Lexington. It was mint #chopsgigs #wintersprinter #fikarecordings #thelexington #exvoid #schande @darrenhayman.bsky.social
