METAL MADNESS in The Quietus best of year list

Noel Gardner from The Quietus has chosen Labake's album METAL MADNESS as one of his 2025 favourites for the New Weird Britain feature. This means a lot to us, thank you Noel for your ongoing interest and support. We are proud of ourselves! Labake has been heard saying that she is happy to be famous. 

Two Christmas fairs!

The Gate participated in two craft fairs in two cities over the weekend: the Christmas Craft Fair at Tunnel Studios in London, and Art Mart at Strange Brew in Bristol. 

We had wacky patches, punk jewelry made from safety pins and badges made from upcycled consumer electronics on display. 

In Greater London and the West Country, the punters lined up to donate and in return, receive Christmas gifts for their discerning loved ones. 

The fairs were both a success and the Gate team returned home tired and satisfied with a good day's work.

Thank you to everyone that came and supported us. Thank you to Tunnel Studios and Strange Brew. Merry Christmas etc.
