Preview: The Howl & The Hum (Solo) @ Middlesbrough Town Hall Courtroom

Middlesbrough Gigs Association kick off 2026 with a special one‑off show from The Howl & The Hum frontman Sam Griffiths, taking over the beautifully restored Town Hall Courtroom for an intimate solo performance on Saturday 11th April. Now in its second year and supported by Arts Council England, the MGA continues to bring standout artists to unique local settings, and Griffiths is a perfect fit: the York songwriter has long been praised for his emotive blend of indie, folk and electronica, with a voice that shifts effortlessly from hushed confession to full‑blown anthem. Fans can expect favourites like Godmanchester Chinese Bridge, Same Mistake Twice and the soaring Hostages to hit even harder in the Courtroom’s stained‑glass glow. With The Howl & The Hum already familiar to Teesside audiences — including a celebrated reverse‑headline slot at Twisterella and a widely acclaimed live album recorded at York Minster — this rare solo outing promises something special.

Tickets for the show are £15 and available here.
