Perfect Binding - Perfect Binding is the project of London-based songwriter and composer Sam Bedford. Worthy of comparisons to the likes of Robert Wyatt, Colleen, Vashti Bunyan or Elliott Smith, Bedford’s work lives in the in-between, neither lo-fi nor polished, neither throw-back nor contemporary. With their debut EP, released in August on Joy Of Life International, Perfect Binding offers a compelling introduction to a songwriter focused on tone, tension, and emotional undercurrent.

Audiences can expect new, unreleased material alongside reimagined versions of released songs-including Zenmenn material-stripped down to their essentials. John Moods creates outsider pop songs that feel immediate and deeply emotional, like arrows shot straight to the heart. His music is defined by colorful arrangements that highlight his distinctive voice and intuitive melodies, while his lyrics explore themes of death, the divine, and the mysteries of life. Growing up on the outskirts of West Berlin, Moods began playing guitar at a young age and was already writing songs and performing in bands by 13. In 2012, he co-founded the art rock band Fenster, releasing four records with the group before emerging as a solo artist in 2018 with The Essential John Moods on Mansions and Millions.

Baba Yaga's Hut present: Natalia Beylis & Eimear Reidy at The Old Church, October 10th Following our previous church organ shows with Sarah Davachi, Kali Malone and Ellen Arkbro we are continuing our Organ Series on October 10th at The Old Church in Stoke Newington with an organ and cello performance by Natalia Beylis & Eimear Reidy celebrating the reissue of their amazing album She Came Through the Window to Stand by the Door. You can listen to it on Bandcamp here https://nataliabeylis.bandcamp.com/album/she-came-through-the-window-to-stand-by-the-door Recorded at St Georges Church, Carrick On Shannon, Leitrim on a cold early January with a William Telford Organ. Built in 1846, it is reputed to be the second oldest organ in Ireland. TRACK 1/SIDE A: 'Pour Upon The Sky' is a story told by the two voices of cello and organ. Influenced by the rhetorical style of 18th century vocal music, the inspiration for this piece came naturally to Eimear who has a background in early music and has performed alongside the organ in a variety of settings from chamber works to Bach's larger orchestral works such as St Matthew Passion. In 18th century music, the cello & organ perform a role as continuo players. Traditionally the cello and organ are both intertwined and interdependent, playing the bass line and harmonies together and providing a foundation for the rest of the ensemble while soloists come in and out. In 'Pour Upon The Sky', Eimear and Natalia play within and without of this traditional form. Freed from the need to hold the solid ground for an ensemble, the cello and organ playfully explore the space as they pass the role of solo and continuo back and forth. TRACK 2/SIDE B: 'The Whistling Dust' is a slow steady study of the microscopic flutters of the organs and the organ. The heart of the Telford rattles and breathes as the cello dances in and out. When Natalia & Eimear began working on these pieces in the cold January, the Telford, which seemed like it had been sitting quietly for quite some time, shook and trembled as its insides were awoken. 'The Whistling Dust' speaks to the moment when the instrument moved alive, every opened stop knob of the pipes bringing the feel of the microsounds of the machine closer and closer as the cello offers utterances of encouragement.

"Cotton may expand folk’s raw emotions into more avant garde territories, but they still feel possessed by a blood-red muscle memory that goes back centuries". - The Guardian “The power of this music is simply awe-inspiring. When Alison Cotton plays, the world stands still.” The Quietus “Alison Cotton’s music speaks of places, people and stories not quite of this world, while orchestrating folk and drone elements meticulously, as if following an arcane ritual.” The Wire “Her exquisite voice calls to mind both the chill of the best British folk...and the psychedelic detail of Occitanian traditional song.” Uncut Magazine “Some of the most moving, powerful music you’re likely to hear this year.” NARC Magazine Please Please You & Brudenell Presents...

Shaped in the shadows and sounds of the legendary Topanga Canyon, the music of Biita Houdei is buoyed by a magic that feels beautifully untamed; wild-hearted sentiments shaped by the world around them, and by a fascination with the enchantment of it all. The debut single ‘Life Inside The Hourglass’ sees time stretch and recline, an animated sub-three-minute strum that Biita says dropped into her mind “from a ghost of sorts” and was written in just twenty minutes. A reflection on outgrowing old ways, and the humble nature of being witnessed. Vocals weave together in a beautiful harmonic dance, seasons shift, sunshine appears and bold psychedelic colours warm the horizon. “I wanted to capture the feeling of being in a void, without ties to space and time. In this shrouded space, I felt the gentle pull to be vulnerable- both in the joyful and sad moments of the performance.” Biita says about the music video for Life Inside the Hourglass. Life Inside the Hourglass, produced with the help of fellow songwriter and friend Haley Heynderickx in her first lead production role, is also the first music Biita (pronounced “bee-tah”) is releasing under her newly-taken moniker. One that was gifted to her by her auntie and means "unique" in the Farsi language.“I proudly take this name,” says Biita, who now calls the Catskills her home. “This name makes me feel closer to my Persian heritage.” Presented by Bird On The Wire All ages (u18s w/ adult 21+)

Maria Taylor - Maria Taylor is a singer-songwriter celebrated for her hushed vocals, cinematic atmospheres, and emotionally resonant storytelling - both as a solo artist and as a founding member of Azure Ray. Her forthcoming album, Story’s End, unfolds like a hazy, widescreen narrative, with each song acting as a chapter tracing love, loss, fracture, and the quiet search for solace in the aftermath. Written over several years and shaped by profound personal upheaval, the record finds Taylor expanding the signature elements of her work - bell-like piano, sweeping strings, and intimate lyricism - into something more nuanced, expansive, and ultimately life-affirming. Recorded between her California home studio and ARC Studios in Omaha, Story’s End features collaborations with Mike Mogis, Ben Brodin, Brad Armstrong, Conor Oberst, Nate Walcott, and others. The album gradually arrives at a fragile but powerful sense of transformation and hope. At once journal-like and cinematic, Story’s End offers listeners a space for reflection and consolation, paying close attention to the fleeting moments that quietly give life its meaning.

Parallel Lines Presents Quiet Light Plus Special Guests Quiet Light (AKA Riya Mahesh) is a Texas-based producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist. Her songs are, in her own words, “dream sequences” - her Lynchian, liminal electropop sounds are both frozen in time and built to withstand its weathering, weaving sharp, sparse songwriting with gossamer strands of ambient, electronic, and folk. Her 2020 self-titled debut EP Quiet Light foregrounded a virtuosic run of independent, self-produced records, including 2023’s Blue Angel Sparkling Silver and Fourth of July, Going Nowhere (2024), and Pure Hearts (2025). Along the way, she’s earned critical acclaim from outlets like The FADER, been co-signed by Iggy Pop, and provided direct support for Cameron Winter, Erika de Casier, Nilufer Yanya, and Chanel Beads on tour. Now, with her forthcoming mixtape Blue Angel Sparkling Silver 2, her debut release on True Panther (Oklou, Jawnino, Grace Ives), she proves she’s a generational voice that’s here to stay. The tape plays out like a dreamy smash cut of the places, faces, and influences that brought Mahesh here as she delivers her most assured project yet, following her own inner compass to new, revelatory heights. As she puts it: “This record is for people who dream about what their life could be like.” Presented by Parallel Lines. This is an 18+ event
