Bears In Trees at Polar Bear Music Club on Friday 4th Nov 2022
With support from Misery Kids
Beginning in a south London basement in late 2014, the band– composed of vocalist and bassist Iain Gillespie (they/them), guitarist Nicholas Peters (he/him), drummer and producer George Berry (he/him) and vocalist, ukulele and keyboardist Callum Litchfield (he/him)–grew up as teenagers together on a diet of online fandom, mid 00’s emo-pop, and the golden age of one direction.
They wrote music from their basement hoping that someone would listen. Nearing seven years later, over 100,000 people would come to find solace in the band’s unique blend of online irreverence, absurdist humor, and dedication to fostering a community that keeps each other safe – this is without mentioning the songs they’ve written about working in gay bars, becoming friends with worms, and processing the deaths of close friends.
Venue Details
After facing a devastating closure during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic under the ownership of a national company, the previous management of the Polar Bear worked to resurrect the venue as swiftly as possible. With an overwhelming outpour of support from the resilient community of Hull, ‘Polar Bear Music Club’ made a triumphant return in 2021, this time as a Community Interest Company (CIC). In collaboration with their friends from ‘The Sesh,’ Polar Bear is dedicated to offering free entry nights every Tuesday, featuring a diverse line-up of local, national, and international musicians. Additionally, the venue hosts weekly free entry club nights, along with ticketed gigs and live performances, catering to a wide range of musical tastes and preferences for the people of Hull.
