Sorry to share this news. Our thoughts are with Rick, wishing you a speedy recovery.

Refunds are being processed for ticket holders.

We are beyond sorry to have to let you know that we need to postpone our upcoming tour. Rick has been hospitalised with a severe infection caused by a perforated gallbladder. He is getting the care he needs though he is facing a prolonged recovery and upcoming surgery.

Because of this, we need to clear the next few months to focus on his health. We are devastated to have to make this call and apologise for the inconvenience and disappointment this causes. We are looking to reschedule the tour for 2027 to allow enough time for a full recovery.

Ticket holders will be refunded from your point of purchase. Thank you all for your understanding, love and support, we hope to be back with you very soon❤️‍🩹🖤

We have a winner!

After weeks of seeing your brilliant ideas for our next Temperance T-shirt, we can finally reveal the result.

Congratulations to Mike Hobday, whose design Basement Vibe has been chosen as our winner!

We had six brilliant designs in the final, and asked the Temperance community to help us choose. Nearly 200 people took the time to look at the designs and share their thoughts, thank you!

Mike’s design is a celebration of what happens downstairs at Temperance: the music, the atmosphere and that magical feeling you get when you head down the stairs.

We’d also like to say a huge congratulations to Leah Cliffe, whose Brewing the Beat was our runner-up. A concept that integrated the both the daytime cafe and the night time music in one clever design.

And a big thank you to everyone who entered. We really were spoilt for choice, even getting the shortlist down to six was no easy task.

Mike’s design will now become part of Temperance's history!

We will now be working behind the scenes getting the design ready for production, as well as deciding on the final colour - do share your thoughts!

What do you get if you mix voodoo blues, calypso, skiffle and dark vaudeville, I hear you ask…..

Jo Carley & The Old Dry Skulls, obviously. And if you’re wondering what that actually sounds like… you’ll have to come and find out for yourself. They’re back at Temperance on 1st November.

Over 60% of tickets are already gone for our return to the amazing Temperance in Leamington Spa on 1st November

Mixing voodoo blues, rattling Calypso rhythms, British skiffle spirit and a wonderfully dark vaudeville twist, Jo Carley & The Old Dry Skulls create a sound that feels like it’s crept out of some haunted speakeasy and straight onto the stage. Wildly original, irresistibly infectious and packed with character, this is music made to shake your soul and rattle your bones 💀

New album coming in October 🖤
