A huge electronic music star made a surprise appearance at a Pensford pub a few weeks on from his ambient secret set at Glastonbury’s Strummerville at the end of June. The performance came amid rumours of a new album.

Producer, songwriter and DJ, Fred Again.. appeared with indie-pop artist The Japanese House to perform an intimate set featuring material from both artists’ discographies in The Rising Sun Inn in Pensford.

Fans who attended Fred’s first ever Bristol show were invited to The Rising Sun in Pensford to watch a special intimate show. Fred Again.. played a set consisting largely of new music, including a new track with Japanese House, to 75 lucky fans.

The set was originally planned to be played in the pub's award-winning beer garden, but was quickly transported inside due to heavy rain.

The ‘Jungle’ hitmaker shared footage of his performance with The Japanese House on his Instagram story the following day, writing: “Amber’s voice is so magical I couldn’t stop smiling”.

Fred Again.. recently revealed that he’s been in the studio working on new music. The news came following his most recent single release called ‘Places to Be’ featuring Anderson .Paak and CHIKA which was released on May 3.

On Thursday, July 18, he posted a photograph on Instagram with the caption: “I think I jus finished an album” [sic].
