New Moon showcase returns to Half Moon Putney with emerging UK acts

New Moon returns to Half Moon Putney in London on 11 May with Charlie Ward, South Social, Quiet Houses and Miles Horn. The format is simple but important: a low-cost night of new music focused on emerging singer-songwriters and bands. Showcases like this are where much of independent music actually lives.

Charlie Ward brings emotionally direct singer-songwriter craft, South Social add a five-piece indie-rock angle, Quiet Houses sit in a dreamy indie-pop and folk lane, and Miles Horn brings soulful indie-rock songwriting. The New Moon series has previously hosted artists who later found much wider attention.

That history makes the 11 May night more than a local gig listing. It is a discovery platform, and discovery platforms are the bloodstream of indie music. Event/source: https://tickets.halfmoon.co.uk/events/2026-05-11-new-moon-a-night-of-new-music-half-moon-putney
