Simon Evans is Staring at the Sun

Foxlowe Arts Centre · Leek

Simon Evans is Staring at the Sun Simon Evans is Back! Waaaay back… With growing evidence that we are living in a Computer Simulation – and a pretty glitchy, off-brand simulation at that – and the approaching watershed of the AI Singularity looming like a weirdly pixelated cumulo-nimbus on the horizon, BBC Radio 4 stalwart and veteran of a quarter century of highly acclaimed stand-up comedy Simon Evans is squinting at an uncertain future, and revisiting the blue remembered hills of his youth. The analogue world of hitch-hiking, pub bets and hedge porn. Of being able to get properly lost. And also pondering the great thinkers and mystics of the past who had, it seems, the same doubts and misgivings about “reality”, back when an adjustable sandal passed for cutting-edge tech.

J. Zunz + Das Love

Foxlowe Arts Centre · Leek

J. Zunz is the solo project of Mexican musician Lorena Quintanilla, best known as one half of the acclaimed psych-experimental duo Lorelle Meets The Obsolete. Blending hypnotic electronics, haunting vocals, ambient textures and immersive rhythms, J. Zunz creates deeply atmospheric soundscapes that move between minimalism, psychedelia and experimental pop. Her acclaimed releases on Rocket Recordings have earned praise for their emotional intensity and trance-like beauty, making her live performances both captivating and transportive experiences. Das Love is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer Rachel Poole. Merging crisp lo-fi rhythms with synthetic textures, live saxophone melodies and vocal harmonies she crafts immersive, cinematic soundscapes that drift fluidly through ambient, downtempo, and organic electronica. This is a matinee show on Sunday 15th Nov - Doors at 3:30pm - A limited amount of early bird tickets are available for just £12.50 + booking fee.

Soft Machine

Foxlowe Arts Centre · Leek

Soft Machine is one of the greatest UK avant/jazz-rock bands of all time. Their work, from their earliest performances as a psychedelic band who were contemporaries of Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, all the way to being one of Europe's best known 'fusion' groups, has influenced several generations of bands, and continues to be name-checked by today's hip experimentalists. Whilst the line-up of Soft Machine may have changed many times since the late 1960’s, the band’s spirit of musical adventure, and the ease with which it freely avoids being pigeon holed and can move from powerful progressive jazz fusion to atmospheric psychedelia effortlessly. This is a seated gig.
