May at Dubrek Studios!
Thanks to @jimexplore for redesigning our event guide. Quite a challenging task when there’s so much information to fit on there.
Loads of great nights happening and don’t forget we have Richard J Birkin playing at The Wardwick this Saturday.
The end of this month also marks Dubrek’s 25th birthday.
We have an immense show lined up on Saturday 30th to celebrate this and some lovely new merch emerging also.
Dubrek25 - its time to party as Dubrek Studios celebrates 25 years on Saturday May 30th. Yep, 25 years!
So I’ve put together this special line up of bands and artists that reflect what we’ve been about all these years. Exciting new music, challenging sounds, and the glorious noise of guitars. The opportunity to see the incredible Part Chimp in a 100 capacity venue is worth the ticket price alone at a mere £15 advance. See you there. Jayx

Richard J Birkin’s Vigils 10th Anniversary Performance At The Wardwick Was A Mesmerising Evening Of Contemporary Music In Derby. On Saturday 2nd May 2026, contemporary composer Richard J Birkin transformed The Wardwick inside Derby Museum and Art Gallery into something completely removed from the chaos of a Saturday night city centre. Presented by Dubrek Studios, the special performance celebrated the 10 year anniversary of Vigils, with Birkin performing alongside a stunning string quartet in one of the most atmospheric live music experiences Derby has seen this year.READ THE FULL ARTICLE ON TRENDNG.COM | LINK IN BIO #trendng #RichardJBirkin #Vigils #TheWardwick #DerbyMusic #AmbientMusic #AtmosphericMusic #ModernComposer #LiveMusicDerby #ExperimentalMusic #NeoClassical #Soundscape #CinematicMusic #DarkAmbient #ContemporaryMusic #DerbyCulture #MinimalMusic #LivePerformance #AlternativeCulture #ArtMusic #wardwick @rjbirkin@yaymariayay@dubrekstudios@derbymuseumsvenue@jaydeandubrek
