The Declining Winter plus support from Pefkin and ADRA

Yorkshire-based The Declining Winter are the long-running project led by Richard Adams, the co-founder of the Domino Records group Hood. They are purveyors of a unique form of pastoral post-rock taking in influences from lo-fi, electronica and jazz with a strong visual aesthetic inspired by the countryside of Yorkshire and beyond. Live appearances are very rare so this is a unique opportunity to see them in a beautiful venue. “Impressively emulates Mark Hollis’ Godly solo work with a jazz and folk-tinged post-rock beauty” Boomkat

Gayle Brogan performs solo under the name Pefkin, creating slowly-unfolding, ritualistic hymnals that draw heavily on the landscape and natural world, using processed violin / viola, electronics, voice and field recordings. She has released albums internationally on labels such as Morc, Wild Silence, Nite Hive, Folklore Tapes and Sonido Polifonico.

ADRA is the project of Andy Abbott (formerly This Fucking Tank and NOPE) who, as well as solo guitar improvisations, makes experimental music under his ADRA alias. His recent 'Music for Psychiatric Wards' emerged out of his experiences as a creative practitioner performing ambient music in psychiatric wards and was described by The Quietus as "a genre-defying album".
