For the last 20 years the "Hello GoodBye Show" has proven itself a pillar of the anti-establishment, offering a consistent and supportive platform for quite literally thousands of left-field and counter-cultural artists, and while some were near household names (Ari Up / Pete Seeger), and others would go on to achieve wide acclaim (Sleaford Mods / This Is The Kit), the vast majority of live guests would continue to gleefully plough their own idiosyncratic furrows, with never an inkling to pander to, nor placate any pre-conceived idea of mainstream ideal.

It feels fully holistic to collaborate with Upset The Rhythm for HG20, a triptych of consecutive concerts held in celebration of The Hello GoodBye Show’s 20th birthday, as Chris Tipton from UTR himself first appeared as a guest on HG back in 2007 with the boisterous brevity biased band Hands On Heads and later again with the psycho-geographically prone duo Way Through.

All profits made from HG20 will go directly towards helping Resonance FM return to live programming as soon as possible. 

This series of Resonance FM fundraisers will take place in the atmospheric and intimate location of The Memorable Order Of Tin Hats Club (M.O.T.H. Club) over three consecutive nights; Saturday 30th July, Sunday 31st July & Monday 1st August.

The deXter Bentley Hello GoodBye Show originally began broadcasting back in May 2002, as part of a small team of autonomous program makers, creating freewheeling and innovative new content for the advent of the avant-garde, arts radio station Resonance FM, the first community based, not-for-profit, arts radio station in London.

The genesis of Resonance FM can be traced to John Peel’s Meltdown in 1998, when the LMC (London Musician’s Collective) were invited to broadcast an experimental radio station over the course of the festival on a localised bandwidth from The Southbank Centre on The River Thames. 

In 2002 Resonance FM was awarded the licence to broadcast over the 104.4 FM wavelength in Central London, and over the following five years (2002-2007) it was situated in the heart of Tin-Pan-Alley on Denmark Street. Over the past 14 years Resonance FM has been based on Borough High Street but during the pandemic it has been forced to relocate once again and is currently painstakingly repurposing an old abandoned chapel in SE1.

deXter Bentley continues to aspire to the two worded mantra/manifesto that was originally bestowed upon him by Resonance FM Station Manager Ed Baxter, who said, ‘BE BOLD!’.

GINA BIRCH released her first ever solo single last year on Third Man Records called ‘Feminist Song’. Gina Birch is a founding member of Dorothy, The Hangovers and The Raincoats. Gina was also a member of Red Crayola when Mayo Thompson asked her to contribute to their ‘Kangaroo’ album. ‘Feminist Song’ made it’s way into recent Raincoats gigs and Gina’s longtime collaborator and fellow Raincoat Ana da Silva contributes monotron on this recording. Gina performs solo using film and video projections with sound that she augments live with guitar and vocals.

BAS JAN are a London-based ensemble, this year they returned with an expanded line-up and a much-anticipated second album ‘Baby U Know’ (Lost Map). It is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2018 debut album Yes I Jan, which was hailed for its “messy majesty” (Uncut) and “beautifully fractured art-pop” (Mojo). Bas Jan were co-founded in 2015 by songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Serafina Steer. The band features Emma Smith (Jarv Is, Meilyr Jones, Seamus Fogarty and founder member of the Elysian Quartet) on violin, bass and electronics, Rachel Horwood (Trash Kit, Bamboo, Jenny Moore’s Mystic Business) on drums and Charlie Stock on electric violin.


This is a 18+ event.
