On Friday 18 December, Coacher, Beachmaster and TAHM come together at The Brickyard for a special end-of-year

show bringing three Cumbrian bands and three very different musical histories onto one stage.

Expect original music, big songs and a night built for seeing out 2026 properly.

COACHER

Ending the night are Coacher, a new project centred around the songwriting and unmistakable voice of Fiona Clayton.

Formed by four musicians whose friendship and musical history stretches back nearly two decades, Coacher make

emotionally charged, melody-driven music that moves from intimate, exposed moments to powerful full-band

crescendos.

Piano, guitars, synths and rhythm build around Fiona’s vocal and songwriting, with influences spanning the storytelling

of Noah Kahan, the energy of Sam Fender, the dynamics of Wolf Alice, the immediacy of The 1975 and the scale of

Kings of Leon.

After years away from performing together, 2026 marks the beginning of a completely new chapter for the band - with

18 December their biggest show to date.

BEACHMASTER

Beachmaster bring melody, melancholy and a rougher alternative edge to the night.

Moving between indie, punk, folk and alternative rock, they write emotionally direct songs packed with big hooks,

memorable choruses and a live energy that has made them a distinctive part of the Cumbrian music scene.

TAHM

TAHM bring a musical history stretching back to the UK alternative scene of the 1990s.

Originally signed to Roadrunner Records, the band’s story has taken them well beyond Cumbria before, more than

two decades later, bringing them back together with new music and renewed energy.

Their sound combines jangling guitars, strong melodies and indie-pop instincts with the chemistry of musicians

rediscovering what they loved about making music together in the first place.

Three bands. Three different stories. One final Friday before Christmas.

Just original music, big songs and three Cumbrian bands giving 2026 one final push before Christmas
