Hi Res Heart at the  Samuel Worth Chapel
Hi Res Heart [https://hiresheart.org/] is an improvising jazz group where spaciousness and fire co-exist. Even when the music is at its most abstract, the spirit of the blues is never too far away. The horns are direct and melodic in an open ended flow which reacts to the moment, while the unusual percussion set up of drum set, hand percussion and vibraphone provides an ever changing textural and rhythmic counterpoint. For this performance at Samuel Worth the group is joined by a solo dancer, and we will be taking full advantage of the interior of the chapel to project specially created video making the show a full scale multimedia performance. The group consists of: Charlotte Keeffe (trumpet and flugelhorn), Martin Archer (saxophones), Michael Bardon (double bass), Martin Pyne (drums, percussion, vibraphone) with Melanie Little (dance) and, Nick Shelton (video). The chemistry is magical, the musicianship is second to none, and the interchange between all seeps in like fast blood as spectacular - Lee Henderson, Big Beautiful Noise Cherish these sounds, for their creators indeed make them sing" - Darren Bergstein, Downtown Music Gallery, New York A circus of sounds where even the riot is riotous fun, the ridiculous made into gravitas, improvisation turned into chamber music.

Cemetery Sessions Present Isis Moray, Kalter & Vera Sacra
Enter the ethereal and immersive world of experimental sound as Cemetery Sessions returns to the Samuel Worth Chapel with a triple bill of dark electronics, haunting vocals, and sonic devotion. Isis Moray [https://isismoray.com/about] is the solo project of artist and musician Jade Lauren, with releases on With Bells, Holy Crow Records, and an upcoming album on Castles In Space. Her live sets weave dark ambience and hard-edged techno with layered, transcendent vocals - a hypnotic blend of electronic mysticism and emotional depth that mesmerises audiences. Kalter are an electronic duo channelling the drifting textures of shoegaze and fusing them with the raw edge of industrial sound. Their work explores the tension between beauty and decay, softness and distortion - a sonic collision that feels both immersive and cinematic. Vera Sacra, the project of Sheffield cellist and producer Emily Marks, creates deeply intimate compositions that blend ambient synths, layered cello, and ghostly vocals. Drawing on classical traditions and themes of spirituality, longing, and fragility, her music offers a meditative, emotionally charged experience - both sacred and personal.

James Blackshaw at the Samuel Worth Chapel
Inspired by the 60s Takoma school of American primitive guitar, minimalist composers and European classical music, James Blackshaw has been highly regarded for his works for solo acoustic guitar since his debut album in 2003, employing fingerpicking techniques to create drones, overtones and repeating patterns, alongside a strong inclination for melody, to conjure instrumental music that is both intelligent, hypnotic and emotional. Blackshaw has collaborated with Lubomyr Melnyk, performed and recorded as a member of Current 93 and with Jozef Van Wissem as Brethren of the Free Spirit and toured and played shows with artists such as Swans (whose Michael Gira signed Blackshaw to his Young God label to release two albums in 2009 and 2010), Grails, Sir Richard Bishop, Jose Gonzales, Peter Walker, Alex De Grassi and Hauschka. In 2024, he self-released his first album in nine years, Unraveling in Your Hands. In an 8.0 review, Pitchfork called it the most straightforwardly beautiful and affecting record he has made since 2010s All Is Falling, noting of the 27-minute title track: It would be remarkable even if it wasnt a single-take recording; that it is, and also played through injury, makes the level of focus and expression feel nothing short of aspirational.

Sarah McQuaid

15 Sept 2025 - 30 Apr 2026

Recently honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Ards International Guitar Festival in Northern Ireland, Sarah’s also drawn critical praise for her voice (which has been variously likened to malt whiskey and melted chocolate) and her engaging rapport with audiences: “I’ve attended hundreds of concerts of all kinds, and her subtle mastery onstage launches her straight into my fave shows ever,” wrote The Huffington Post. With the release of her new album, the Madrid-born, Chicago-raised, Cornwall-based singer/songwriter has expanded her battery of instruments to include piano, electric guitar and drum, and it’s drawn critical raves internationally. Dutch music magazine Heaven hailed it as “an early contender for folk album of 2018,” the UK’s fRoots said it was “a collection to savour” and the USA’s PopMatters called it “a gateway into a true innovator’s soul.”

Sheffield General Cemetery Trust is delighted to welcome Spicy Advice to the Samuel Worth Chapel for an immersive, multi-sensory deep dive into the world of flavour. This playful and intuitive workshop invites participants to explore how we taste, smell, and experience food by using all five senses.

With a strong focus on sensory exploration, community dialogue, and practical cooking inspiration, this event offers a fun, hands-on journey through the art and science of flavour - and youll go home with your very own music-inspired ferment to enjoy.

A multi-instrumentalist composer and songwriter from Leeds, Alice blends classical training with a playful, genre-defying approach to folk music that delights audiences and challenges convention.
