About this event

Wire Worms with support TBC is on Wednesday 10 February 2027 at Bishops' House, Sheffield, with doors at 19:00. Tickets start at £13.20, including the booking fee.

Wire Worms formed within the Leeds underground scene in 2023. The 6-piece ‘Doom-Folk Supergroup’ (Songlines) and ‘Iconoclastic Neo-Folk Collective’ (Folk London) - constituted by members of Tristwch Y Fenywod, Sh!t Theatre, and Hexham Heads - explores British folk music in a manner that ‘delves deep into tradition but isn't shackled by it’ (Louder than War). Their latest album - Beneath the Eildon Tree - continues the established Wire Worms method of disassembling medieval literature and ‘blowing folksong apart with the nebular chaos of noise and black metal’ (The Wire), only to rebuild them in a manner that extricates both the strangeness and the ongoing pertinence of these ancient songs and texts… ‘as with all the best modern traditional recordings, in drawing on this long past Wire Worms speak directly to the present moment’ (The Quietus). Released by Cruel Nature Records in 2026, Beneath the Eildon Tree was forged through ‘a blend of myth, metal, and menace’ (Songlines); exploring prophecy and madness within the traditional music and poetry of Britain, Ireland, and the Isle of Man. It loosely follows the figure of Thomas the Rhymer - a 13th Century Sco...

A Nite Hive label night featuring Jo Montgomerie, Agnes Haus and Pefkin

Bishops' House · Sheffield

Jo Montgomerie is a producer, sound engineer & music teacher based in Greater Manchester. Originally from South West Scotland, Montgomerie’s work uses repetition, drones and manipulation. Playing with piano, electronics and field recordings, Jo explores themes of feelings & connection through spaces & time. ‘made to appear’ is about all of the emotions. Love & loss, fear & joy, but it’s also about all those tiny emotions in between - the ones that don’t last, but you still feel. It’s about the space between extraordinary & everyday. The transition from one to another - it can be a split second. This work moves away from the compositional style Jo had been using recently. It’s less extreme, less ‘noisy’, but with more clarity. The recordings are more deliberate, and the piano is the lead. Agnes Haus is a UK-based non-binary audio-visual artist and composer creating murky, fractured aural landscapes revolving around semi-autonomous explorations made entirely with modular synthesisers. In 2023 and 2024, respectively, their first two albums, "Sequel' and ‘Everything Is Resurrection’ were released on the renowned cassette label Opal Tapes, and praised for their ble...

Zach Rowden (Tongue Depressor) with support from Heavy Lifting

Bishops' House · Sheffield

Zach Rowden is a musician based in New Haven, Connecticut. His work is focused in the areas of drone, repetitive structures and noise. Collaborators and projects include - Tongue Depressor, Hyperion Ensemble/Iancu Dumitrescu, Windscour, Red Yellow Blue Green Black, Leila Bordreuil, Aki Onda, Arien Wilkerson, and Paul Flaherty. Touring to support his new album "Time Unstated, Hues Unseen". A tape loop repeating, posing mundane questions to the listener: "Am I different because you are different from one moment to the next; or, am I different because I am different from myself from one moment to the next?" It is hard to tell. The ebb and flow of difference and repetition always produces a psychedelic interrogation. Where were you when you first heard me? Who were you when you first heard me? Are you still there? Are you still the same person? Breathing in and out is sort of similar. Something we do continuously as a matter of survival. One breath is not so different from the next, but each breath is also a seemingly singular event, a repetition bleeding into its own repetition. Is listening any different? One sound bleeding into the next, as if beginnings and endings fail to matter....
