Love Thy Neighbour Presents; PENELOPE ISLES

Hailing from the Isle of Man via the uncomfortable shingles of Brighton beach, Penelope Isles resurface – shimming in sunlight and shadow.

Three years since their last show, life has quietly reshaped everything. Two solo records released into the world, new bands formed, old rhythms broken, and a magnetic pull back toward each other that couldn’t be ignored – Penny Isles’ sound remains unmistakable-fuzz-drenched, melody-rich, and charged with feeling.

Now expanded into a true three-piece with drummer Joe Taylor, Penelope Isles sound bigger, looser, and more alive than ever. Guitars shimmer and collide, harmonies ache and lift, drums crash like eerie weather rolling in fast off the coast. The Wolter siblings write songs like postcards from somewhere just out of reach – Brighton seafront flats, off-kilter restaurants, memories half-burned in the sun. Beautiful, fragile, and always on the edge of slipping away.

Still obsessed with love, heartbreak, and what lingers after, Penelope Isles are at their most open, luminous, and unsteady. And everything feels like it’s moving again. + support This is a 14+ show.
