Tara Clerkin Trio

Portland Arms · Cambridge

Tara Clerkin Trio are Pat Benjamin, Sunny Joe Paradisos and Tara Clerkin, three musicians involved in a number of cult Bristol bands over the years before confidently settling down in triangle formation. They are inspired by and borrow from jazz, trip hop, electronica, psychedelia & minimalism, twirling the non-pretentious strands of these threads together into a trippy green winged-cloak, adorning Arthur Russell and dripping in blue jam. With two extraordinary mini-albums – In Spring (2021) and On The Turning Ground (2023) – making a splash on London’s formidable World of Echo label in wake of their self-titled 2020 debut, Tara Clerkin Trio’s upcoming Somewhere Good LP is, in many ways, the band’s most realised work. In running their usual gauntlet of idiosyncratic (*an overused adjective for which here there is regrettably no sufficient alternative) approaches, Clerkin & co. colour in and outside of compositional lines over the course of 40+ celebratory minutes - never wallowing, despite inherently somber subject matters of self-defeat, disease, displacement, restlessness, gentrification - allowing their arrangements and improvisations ample space and time to situate, s...

Lanterns on the Lake

Storey's Field Centre · Cambridge

There's a moment at the outset of Lanterns on the Lake's sixth studio album, "There's a Bird in My Ribcage", when singer and songwriter Hazel Wilde notices dust motes suspended in a shaft of light. An ordinary detail, easily overlooked in the relentless churn of everyday life. But Wilde is paying attention. "I used to shut it all out," she sings. "But I'm soaking it in now." By the album's close, that perspective has shifted dramatically: the Earth is a speck suspended in an indifferent universe. Between those two images lies a record about the beauty and weight of being alive to the world. Between the intimate and the immense, Lanterns on the Lake explore the lives closest to us, the suffering furthest from us, and the struggle to hold both in view at once. "The album is a refusal to go numb," says Wilde. "In a world that sometimes urges us to retreat into distraction, cynicism or performance, you find yourself aching for something more, and to hold on to something real." Written against a backdrop of division and desensitisation, the record insists on feeling deeply.

SOLD OUT. The Stove Spirit Whispers. An Afternoon of Slavic and Klezmer music.

BHASVIC Main Hall · Hove

Our event programme is inspired by the dark folklore and twilight mysteries of a traditional Eastern European winter. In Slavic folklore, the domestic stove is the dwelling place of the Domovoi - a protective house spirit who speaks through the warmth and crackle of the hearth. In neighbouring Yiddish culture (East European Jewish), the warmth of the brick stove served as a locus for storytelling, where the boundaries between everyday life and the supernatural would blur… The Stove Spirit Whispers programme will present a wide array of music that captures the shared world of the Eastern European hearth, bridging Slavic and Klezmer heritages together. Slavic Voices London and Brighton Choir and The Merlin and Polina Shepherd Duo will present distinct, contrasting sets and also perform together. The choral set will include Orthodox chants, iconic classics by Tchaikovsky, Janáček, Rachmaninov, refined Art songs and gritty folklore from the far corners of Siberia to the banks of the Black Sea. The repertoire is sung mainly in Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Belorussian. This time Slavic Voices will also sing a bit in Yiddish - to make the wonderfu...

Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf 20th Anniversary Performance

53Two · Manchester

It has been 20 years since comedian, actor, XS Malarkey compere, and TV historian Toby Hadoke brought his hit show Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf to the Edinburgh Fringe (doesn't time fly?), and for one night only he's bringing it back, to 53two! Moths is a delightful autobiographical show, as much about childhood and fatherhood as it is a lovely letter to Doctor Who; after debuting at XS, it garnered a string of five star reviews at the Fringe, and went on to a national tour, West End run and BBC Radio adaptation before it's previous "last time ever" performance in 2013. This really might be the last chance to see it live, or at least until the 50th anniversary in 2056. A lot has changed in 20 years, so expect deviations, commentary, and plenty of sidenotes as Toby revisits his former self.
