The Happy Endings + Leif

The Happy Endings play Wrecking Ball Arts Centre on Wednesday 21 October, with Leif Ablott opening the night. It's a double bill on a Wednesday, so you'll be in and out in a couple of hours rather than committing your whole evening.

The venue itself is a bit of a Hull oddity. The Arts Centre sits on the first floor of Wrecking Ball Music & Books on Whitefriargate, a joint venture between Wrecking Ball Press founder Shane Rhodes and concert promoter Gary Marks. It's a room for 110 with a licensed bar, and the programme runs from book launches and spoken word to poetry, theatre, performance, live music, quizzes and film screenings. The ground floor is fully accessible, houses the Wrecking Ball café, and hosts in-store signings.

This particular night is in WB Arts 2, the downstairs space, which puts the music on a different level from the main room upstairs. The bill is The Happy Endings with Leif Ablott on support, so you'll get two acts for the price of one. It's a straightforward setup: Leif opens, and The Happy Endings take the main slot.

The music runs from 7:00pm to 9:00pm, and tickets are £7.00. If you're coming from across town, the ground floor is fully accessible, and the Wrecking Ball café is right there on the street level if you want to grab something before heading up to the show.
