Thursday is the new purple! Beanbags and cushions, lava lamps and disco balls, joss sticks, sarongs and candles. What more could you ask for on a Thursday night? 

Oh ya, loads of musicians (mostly) come and play some sweet tunes too. When you step inside the back room of the Cannon Pub you’ll forget that you’re in one of the oldest pubs in Newport Pagnell. You'll also forget that it used to be a gay bar.

The Sunset Lounge is Newport’s hidden gem and attracts some of the best talent Bucks has to offer, AND some of the worst. Something for everyone! From professional acts to bedroom musicians on stage for the first time, everyone gets a chance to rock out with their frock out for a three song set. Come early to guarantee a spot – we get quite busy.

Bring your own acoustic instruments and contact us if you have any requests (i.e. condenser mics, more than two plug-ins, drums etc.). Every Thursday night, doors and bar both open at 8. See you there!


7th Storey Projects was founded in 2009 by Simon Hesford as a passion project with a focus on unearthing and re-releasing classic old skool hardcore, jungle, and drum and bass music from the 90s. Inspired by the iconic labels Ninety Two Retro and Sublogic Recordings amongst others, the label initially aimed to help maintain interest in these iconic sounds and prevent them from fading into obscurity. However, over time, 7th Storey Projects evolved as much into a platform for modern-day productions that capture the essence of these older styles, driven by the wealth of new musical talent that needed a space to showcase their work.

In 2011, the label expanded by launching an online store, which not only sold its own releases but also featured music from other independent labels. This move helped increase the label’s visibility and contributed to its involvement in the wider underground music community.

A significant moment in the label’s history came with the launch of the Globex Corp series in 2016, which showcased the incredible talents of Tim Reaper and Dwarde, among others.

The series quickly became a success, running for ten volumes and further establishing 7th Storey Projects as a respected name for modern takes on the classic sounds of hardcore, jungle, and drum and bass.

Over the years, 7th Storey Projects has collaborated with an impressive roster of influential artists, including Tim Reaper, Coco Bryce, Equinox, The Invisible Man, FFF, Peter Darker (Kid Lib), Sonar’s Ghost, and many more, releasing music that spans from authentic nostalgic throwbacks to fresh, modern interpretations of old skool sounds.

After taking a hiatus from 2021 to 2025, 7th Storey Projects is now returning with renewed energy, continuing its commitment to supporting artists who bridge the gap between the past and present in the world of hardcore, jungle, and drum and bass.
