Henry's Funeral Shoe announce July 2026 headline Luton date
Don’t think two guys can make much of a noise? Think White Stripes, think Black Keys…. think Henry’s Funeral Shoe! These guys make a helluva racket….
Their headline Luton debut takes place on Friday 31st July 2026 in the intimate surroundings of The Bear Club.
Henry’s Funeral Shoe was formed by two brothers from South Wales, inspired and influenced by many of the albums that singer/guitarist Aled Clifford had looted from his father’s vinyl collection when he was growing up. The Who, CCR, Peter Green, Robert Johnson and The Beatles were favourites, and Aled quickly became a gifted guitar player, aided and taught by Ned Edwards, a long-time collaborator of Van Morrison.
His younger brother Brennig started playing drums at nine. At fifteen he joined a local band, learning his trade by performing covers of The Clash and Thin Lizzy before moving on to writing original material. The brothers have finally joined forces to create some of the loudest soulful rock’n’roll to come out the UK in a long time.

The date follows a sold-out co-headline show at The Patriot (Home Of Rock) in Crumlin, Wales with The Virginmarys in March 2026. Their 2025 single ‘Hey!!! (What’s Your Pleasure?)’ received praise from Classic Rock Magazine, The Strange Brew and Just Listen To This amongst others.
With more dates lined up for this year, this is your opportunity to catch Henry’s Funeral Shoe’s debut at The Bear Club.
