Will Cook & Friends

£8.50

A booking fee of 11% will be added to each ticket order. This fee goes straight to maintaining the venue.

Will Cook is a songwriter who draws on influences like David Bowie and Kate Bush to deliver synth lead tracks that show off his raw and honest creativity. In this performance, he shows off his recent venture into songwriting combining live looping and pre-recorded tracks mixed with live performance. Will’s songs access a vulnerability that often can’t put into words.

Supporting Will on the night will be 

Waiting For Alfie

Waiting for Alfie is a singer-songwriter creating emotional, piano-driven songs with a raw and honest edge. His mellow vocals and dynamic piano let the lyrics and melodies speak for themselves. Recently leaning more into the electronic side of his music, Alfie will debut his new performance arrangements at the Railway. Alfie is a storyteller who draws inspiration from artists like Radiohead, Madison Cunningham and early Coldplay. His songs invite you to lean in and listen closer; it’s music for people who don’t mind sitting with their feelings for a while.

James Gardener

Full time trumpet player and teacher, part time singer songwriter from the south coast. James listens to a lot of Elliott Smith, Adrianne Lenker, Ben Howard, Sufjan Stevens, Billie Marten, and Nick Drake. He tries to write like them too. Sometimes it works. 

Prom Night

We’re prom night, a six-piece indie pop rock band from Winchester, influenced by Beabadoobee and the Arctic Monkeys. Our favourite venue to perform in is the Railway Inn and we can’t wait to be back there to perform again soon! We’re currently working on our first original music which we’re excited to share!

Burnt Flowers Fallen

Oliver Jones transforms the intense alternative rock releases of Burnt Flowers Fallen into intimate acoustic performances. Burnt Flowers Fallen channels life’s struggles through the context of raw and emotional songs, translating studio volume into fragile storytelling. Begun in 2024, the project is Oliver’s outlet to the world, exploring how he is able to shape personal experience into music. Ever since his most recent release, Into The Flame, Oliver continues to rehape how these experiences sound both live and on the record.
