About Woom

Woom, a name now synonymous with innovative British rock-pop, emerged from Brighton’s thriving independent music scene in the late 2010s, quickly garnering attention for their distinctive sound. Formed by lead vocalist and songwriter Elara Vance, guitarist Kai Thorne, bassist Leo Maxwell, and drummer Anya Sharma, the band swiftly carved out a niche with their infectious melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. Their debut EP, “Coastal Echoes,” released in 2020, introduced the world to their unique blend of gritty rock energy and polished pop sensibilities, earning them critical praise and a dedicated following. Tracks like “Neon Tides” and “Brighton Calling” became instant fan favourites, capturing the essence of coastal life and urban introspection.

Over the years, Woom has consistently evolved, pushing the boundaries of their genre while maintaining their signature emotional depth. Their sound is characterised by Elara’s powerful yet nuanced vocals, Kai’s intricate guitar work, Leo’s driving basslines, and Anya’s dynamic drumming, creating a rich tapestry that appeals to both rock purists and pop enthusiasts. They’ve toured extensively across the UK and Europe, building a reputation for their captivating live performances. Their most recent album, “The Shifting Sands,” released earlier this year, sees them exploring new sonic territories, further cementing their status as one of the most exciting bands on the contemporary music scene. This upcoming show at The Folklore Rooms is a rare opportunity to witness their evolution in an incredibly personal setting, a chance to reconnect with the band in the very city that nurtured their beginnings.

The Folklore Rooms: The Perfect Setting

Nestled in the bustling heart of Brighton, just off the historic North Laine, The Folklore Rooms stands as a beacon for intimate and authentic live music experiences. Located at 160 North Street, BN1 1GN, this gem of a venue offers a refreshing alternative to larger, more impersonal spaces. Originally a historic tea room, the building has been lovingly repurposed, retaining much of its original charm and character, creating an atmosphere that feels both rustic and welcoming. Its modest capacity, typically around 80-100 patrons, ensures that every show feels like a private performance, fostering a unique connection between artists and audience.

The venue’s interior is a delightful blend of exposed brickwork, warm lighting, and cosy seating, providing a perfect backdrop for acoustic sets and electrifying rock performances alike. The acoustics are surprisingly excellent for such an intimate space, allowing every note and lyric to resonate with clarity. The Folklore Rooms prides itself on its commitment to supporting emerging and established artists, offering a platform where music can truly be appreciated without distraction. Accessibility-wise, the main performance area is on the ground floor, making it generally accessible, though it’s always advisable to contact the venue directly for specific accessibility needs. Its central location means it’s surrounded by Brighton’s eclectic mix of independent shops, cafes, and eateries, making it an ideal spot to start or end your evening in the city. The Folklore Rooms isn’t just a venue; it’s a vital part of Brighton’s cultural fabric, and the perfect stage for Woom’s anticipated return.

What to Expect at the Show

Prepare for an unforgettable evening as Woom takes to the stage at The Folklore Rooms. Given the intimate nature of the venue, fans can anticipate a truly immersive experience, far removed from the spectacle of larger arenas. Woom is known for their high-energy performances, and this show promises to be no exception, albeit with a heightened sense of connection. Expect a meticulously crafted setlist that will likely span their entire discography, from the beloved early hits like “Neon Tides” and “Coastal Echoes” to tracks from their latest album, “The Shifting Sands,” showcasing their artistic growth.

The band’s stage production will undoubtedly be tailored for the venue, focusing on raw talent and atmosphere rather than elaborate theatrics. Expect clever lighting to enhance the mood, drawing you further into their sonic world. Elara Vance’s captivating stage presence, combined with the tight musicianship of Kai, Leo, and Anya, will create an electrifying yet personal vibe. This is a chance to witness Woom’s signature blend of rock and pop up close, to feel the vibrations of every guitar riff and drum beat directly. The cosy confines of The Folklore Rooms will amplify the emotional impact of their lyrics, making for a powerful and memorable night where the connection between band and audience is palpable.

Getting to The Folklore Rooms

The Folklore Rooms is conveniently located at 160 North Street, Brighton, BN1 1GJ, making it easily accessible from various parts of the city and beyond. If you’re arriving by train, Brighton Station is just a 10-15 minute walk away. Exit the station, head down Queen’s Road, and then turn left onto North Street. Numerous bus routes also serve North Street, with several stops directly outside or within a very short walk of the venue, connecting it to all corners of Brighton and Hove.

For those travelling by car, parking in central Brighton can be challenging, especially on a Saturday evening. While there are several car parks nearby, such as the NCP Brighton Theatre Royal or the Churchill Square Car Park, they can fill up quickly and are often quite expensive. We highly recommend utilising Brighton’s excellent public transport network or considering park-and-ride options if you’re coming from outside the city. Cycling is also a popular option, with plenty of bike racks available in the vicinity. Always allow ample time for travel, particularly if you’re unfamiliar with the area, to ensure a stress-free arrival and avoid missing any of Woom’s electrifying set.
