The Feathered Thorns + Support

The Feathered Thorns + Support

26 Sept 2025 - 26 Sept 2025

The Feathered Thorns are Polly Wright and Jason Wick who are long term collaborators on a wide range of commissioned work for Theatre, Poetry, Film and Installation. They create compelling, explorative music which defies classification of genre and is in turn beguiling, unsettling, visceral, spectral, romantic and raw. It weaves themes like folklore fantasy, domestic truth and filmic dream scenes, into beautifully crafted vignettes featuring imaginary characters depicted in states ranging from desperate fragility to sharp toothed menace, against a backdrop of lonely country lanes, haunted houses and threadbare, seaside hotel rooms. With their perceptive balance of tender and grit, the songs are startling and emotive in their atmosphere and drama, producing an authentic raw tonal palette over a haunting collage of lo- fi soundscapes, created using voices, guitar, piano and sampled sounds.
Simeon Walker

Simeon Walker

28 Sept 2025 - 25 Oct 2025

Prolific Leeds-based pianist & composer Simeon Walker has quickly emerged as a leading light in the burgeoning Modern Classical scene. Regularly featured across BBC Radio 3, BBC 6Music, Classic FM and KEXP, his music has been listened to in excess of 40 million times across platforms. A frequent performer across the UK and Europe, his music and live performances reflect the extremes of human experience - at times, gentle, calm and still; powerful, boisterous and energetic at others. Whilst his recent Imprints release features a set of piano miniatures representing everyday fleeting moments; brief snapshots in time, centred on conveying the range of emotions and feelings experienced during the lockdowns of recent years, his 2024 Autumn Tour highlights a range of music from across the first ten years of his career as solo artist, composer and performer. Interwoven with insightful stories and wry self-deprecation, Simeon's 'sophisticated and elegant (Piano & Coffee), beautifully captivating (Gold Flake Paint) introspective instrumentals invite listeners to find stillness, beauty and meaning as much in the spaces between the notes as the notes themselves. In a complicated, scrolling-fuelled, always-on modern world, his 'sublime, assured and immersive compositions (Letting The Light In - Shrewsbury live music series) offer a moment of escape from the busyness of everyday life.
