Carnegies

Carnegies play The Farmer's Boy on Friday 4 December, bringing a night of indie-rock and dancefloor favourites to the London Road pub. They're a St Albans covers band, so this is a local act playing on their own patch.

Their set is built around the songs you already know rather than original material, with the indie-rock side of things leaning into the guitar-driven sound of the last couple of decades, and the dancefloor favourites pulling in the more upbeat, singalong numbers that work in a pub setting. It's the kind of night that doesn't ask you to know a specific band's discography — you just turn up and recognise the songs as they come.

The Farmer's Boy is a London Road pub that keeps a regular live music programme running alongside its quizzes, karaoke and acoustic sessions, so this fits into a wider calendar of free entertainment. It's not a one-off, but part of the way the pub handles its music throughout the week.

Carnegies take the stage at 21:30 and run through until midnight, so it's a late one that goes well into the night. There's no entry fee, and the venue is at 134 London Road, St Albans, AL1 1PQ.
