The weather’s getting cooler and the harvest moon has been and gone — ‘tis the season for sausage and mash! 🍂

Hasten yourself down to the Betsey for our Toulouse sausage, served with creamy mashed potato, onion gravy and seasonal veg.

Best paired with a pint of real ale. Cheers! 🍻

North-East London psych-folk ensemble Trimdon Grange Explosion return to the Betsey on 9th October 2026. Comprising Alison Cotton (viola/vocals), Ben Phillipson (guitar/vocals), Mark Nicholas (bass) and Karl Sabino (drums), the quartet formed in the aftermath of the split of acclaimed folk-rock outfit The Eighteenth Day of May , of whom all four were members. Their sound is a fusion of Velvet Underground-esque psychedelia and their own English traditional music roots. Support comes from Shadows Of Stephen. 🌳

Creators of The Lantern Society return …!

We’re very excited to welcome our great friends Trevor Moss & Hannah-Lou back to The Betsey …

Husband and wife duo TREVOR MOSS & HANNAH-LOU have been with us from the very beginning. Off the back of their original band – INDIGO MOSS – they launched the LANTERN SOCIETY at The Betsey way back in 2007, a night that is still going strong here today, although they have long since passed on the baton. Going on to launch their first album as a duo here in 2010 they have produced a brilliant and unique body of work that has been a delight to follow. We’re honoured to be welcoming them back to celebrate their re-signing to the UK’s premier alt-country label – LOOSE MUSIC - and to experience the latest musical chapter from this amazing folk-rock 2 piece.

John Otway at the Betsey? Oh yes!

“Rock and Roll’s greatest failure” returns to the Betsey - for one night (well, afternoon) only.

Arriving on the back of punk in 1977 and helped by an ill-balanced gymnastic performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test, his first single”Cor Baby That’s Really Free” managed to reach number 27 in the UK Charts. Going on to develop an increasingly unhinged career, building a cult following along the way, 2002 saw him finally become a 2 HIT WONDER when “Bunsen Burner” - a song written to help his daughter with her chemistry homework - scored a top 10 hit and saw Otway running amok on Top of The Pop. Expect ill-judged on-stage acrobatics, theramins and the stupidity of a great genius.
