Captain Clap and the Burning Sensations - Punk Band
The most infectious pop punk covers around!
Some years ago three men, all old enough to know better, decided the time was right to get together and play pop punk, only missing the genre’s peak by a couple of decades.
Since then, they’ve been bringing pop punk covers, bad jokes and excellent nights to pubs and clubs around Yorkshire. They have played local festivals, organised fundraisers and had the band name laughed at on the radio by Chris Moyles.
Expect pop punk classics, scene anthems and inappropriate song choices.
The band will be supported by our very own Mooch on stage at 7.30pm. Doors and bar open 6.30pm.
Tickets £10pp

Hilarity Bites - Comedy Evening
September’s Hilarity Bites Comedy Club brings you:
Peter Brush
A highly distinctive performer and deft writer of finely-crafted jokes, He unassumingly takes the stage with his slight, bespectacled frame and scruffy hair before consummately conquering it with an arsenal of razor sharp quirky one liners and peerlessly original routines, all delivered in an amusingly awkward fashion. Peter performs at all the major clubs across the UK, as well as having done many of its biggest festivals,
Pete Selwood
A hotly tipped up-and-coming comedian on the circuit, Pete Selwood has quickly risen through the comedy ranks with swagger. After winning the Lawrence Batley New Yorkshire Comedian of the Year he has gone from strength to strength. The Yorkshireman focuses on tales of Northern life. Being born with only one hand also gives him a unique view and experience of the world around him, poking fun at having a disability in modern Britain.
Elaine Robertson
With a surreal eye for observational comedy and keen knack for audience interaction, Elaine has been described as ‘Laugh out loud’, ‘Natural, effortless and off-the-cuff (The Cherwell) and a ‘Brilliant wit and comedic talent’ (Ed Fringe Review).
In 2022 Elaine was a Regional Finalist for BBC New Comedian of the Year.
Please note: Line-ups are subject to change in unavoidable circumstances.
The show may contain strong language and adult themes.
Ryedale Blues Club “Dirt Road” at the Milton Rooms
The Dirt Road Band are Steve Walwyn, guitar and vocals, Horace Panter, bass and Ted Duggan, drums. They play hard, punchy blues-rock music that makes your heart beat faster.
Walwyn has played guitar for a living for the past 45 years, 32 of those as a member of Dr Feelgood. Panter was a founding member of The Specials. He’s been doing this a while too, as has Duggan who has enjoyed spells with Banco de Gaia and more recently, Badfinger. Three highly proficient and time-served players doing what they do best.
DRB started as a side project about five years ago and has now taken centre stage. Their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Righteous’ was released in July 2024.
The creative process came naturally with these players feeding off one another. You can see it in their live performance too – “Seasoned professionals with the energy of teenagers” as one contemporary musician observed.
Tickets: £10 pp

Alfie Moore “Apocalypse Now” at the Milton Rooms
The Four Horsemen of Rising Crime, Global Warming, AI and Culture Wars are galloping towards us. Are we on the road to hell? And can we avoid the potholes? In this brand new tour show, ‘Fair Cop’ Alfie has the antidote to the breakdown of law and order, fake news and the price of baked beans.
He’s encountered more than his fair share of egotistical dictators in his policing career and learnt when pragmatism, and more than a dash of laughter, can defuse even the most menacing showdown.
Join Alfie as he saddles up to see off those bullies on their pesky ponies. Doomsday is no laughing matter, but this show certainly is.
Tickets: £21 pp

Cosy Cottage: Soothing Sound Bath: Cleanse, Calm & Realign
Soothing Sound Bath: Cleanse, Calm & Realign
Dates: 13th September 2026 (other dates include 3rd May and 5th July)
Location: 17 Market Place, Malton, YO17 7LX
Step into stillness, in the late spring early evening, and surrender to the deeply calming experience of this Soothing Sound Bath, lovingly held by experienced sound practitioner Julia Thompson.
Designed to gently quiet the mind and nourish the spirit, this 90-minute session offers a rare opportunity to fully switch off from the outside world and connect with the healing power of sound.
Julia will guide you through a meditative sound journey using a combination of crystal singing bowls, chimes, and grounding instruments, all chosen to support the body’s natural ability to restore and rebalance. These vibrations work at a cellular level, helping to release stored tension, regulate the nervous system, and promote emotional clarity.
Throughout the session, you’ll be invited to simply lie back and relax — letting the sounds wash over you in waves of calm. There will be gentle guidance to settle you into the space, followed by a period of quiet integration at the end, allowing you to return to the present moment feeling lighter, clearer, and more deeply connected to yourself. Whether you’re new to sound healing or returning to deepen your practice, this immersive session offers a nurturing pause for body, mind and soul.
You may wish to bring a yoga mat, blanket, and any cushions or eye masks that will help you feel comfortable and supported, however a mat, pillow and blanket will be provided. We encourage you to bring cosy layers as some may feel cooler lying in stillness for this length of time. You may also wish to bring a journal for any reflections that arise after the session, however this is optional.
Enjoy a welcome beverage and 15% off all Cosy Cottage products on the day.
