Event Info
A triple bill featuring some of the best experimental musicians in the UK.
Tristwch Y Fenywod is a band of three queer women who play avant garde Gothic rock using folk, rock, and digital instruments, with lyrics sung entirely in the Welsh language (Cymraeg). Sapphic love and desire, existential darkness, political and environmental anguish/celebration, psychogeographic romance, pagan mysticism, imaginal explorations of Celtic history and myth, psychedelia, and myriad other variations of reverie are conjured through the music of Tristwch Y Fenywod. They were formed in 2022 in Leeds, which is where the band is primarily based.
Joanne Robertson is a musician and painter. She collaborates regularly with friends, most recently with Dean Blunt on Backstage Raver and Sidsel Meineche Hansen on Alien Baby.
Both her painting and music emerge from improvisatory moments of expression, and her critically acclaimed album Blurrr, released via AD 93 in 2025, was written between painting sessions and while raising a child. Loose and playful in its intuition, Robertson’s vocals and guitar drift, murmur, and whisper across the record, fostering a deep intimacy as unknown emotions rise up from the well.
Jasper Llewellyn is a founding member of the band ‘caroline‘. He is now playing his first shows under his own name.
