Live Music

Amplify - Good Time Locomotive / Ultraviolet

Amplify new music nights are events dedicated to showcasing and supporting up-and-coming musicians. They provide a platform for artists to perform their original music and gain exposure to a wider audience. GOOD TIME LOCOMOTIVE Good Time Locomotive (GTL) are a London-based alt pop/rock band blending shimmering synths, funky bass, glistening guitar, driving drums and heartfelt vocals to create emotion-packed music about identity, hope and resilience. Influenced by The 1975 and Don Broco, GTL fuse the spirit of the 80s/90s with a modern edge, connecting across generations both live and on record. Working with Grammy-winning producer Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse), they’ve refined their sound without losing their DIY roots. With new music monthly, strong social media engagement and high-energy shows, GTL is fast becoming a rising force in the UK and beyond. ULTRAVIOLET ULTRAVIOLET formed almost two years ago, in January 2024, at Monks Walk School in Welwyn Garden City. We’re an all female Indie/Rock band made up of four classmates who all share a love for music. Over the last two years we have performed at many of our schools’ music events and concerts, most recently winning our category at House Music.
