Sairie plus support from Zandra

Bishops' House · Sheffield

Deceptively stripped-back, other-worldly and beautiful. Ghosts, fairies and tragic love. The Brighton three piece of Emma Morton, Jon Griffin and Andy Thomas cast magic spells upon the listener. Their music is like a séance; an enchanted visit to the inside of a hollow hill. To date, Sairie have released two 7” singles on the Fenny Compton and Gardener’s Delight labels, and two self-released EPs distributed by Hudson Records. Their releases so far have received a lot of critical praise, and The Cinder Sheet EP beguiled Stewart Lee, who wrote about it in The Idler Magazine. Sairie now present their first full-length album, Beneath the Spreading Tree. ...acoustically expansive, drone-deepened, acid-folk nuggets” - Stewart Lee, Idler Magazine “Hearkening back to the early 70’s heyday of acid and psychedelic folk (and inhabiting the same landscape as landmarks such as Vashti Bunyan’s Just Another Diamond Day and Trees‘ The Garden of Jane Delawney), Sairie’s gentle, graceful songs are both pleasingly out of time and otherworldly.” - Grey Malkin, Moof Magazine “I love that this delicate sound still has a place in the 21st-century arena and that it is purveyed by such...

The Handover with support from Nick Jonah Davis

Bishops' House · Sheffield

A repeat of one of THE BEST gigs we have ever put on!! Aly Eissa – oud (EG) Jonas Cambien – keyboards (BE/NO) Ayman Asfour – violin (EG) The Handover's debut album from 2025 has been dubbed one of the best releases on the cultlabel Sublime Frequencies, introducing a blend of classical Arabic mastery, urban shaabi, and ritual melodies from Egypts countryside. Inspired by the hypnotic, trance-inducing repetitiveness of music from the Nile-delta, and fueled by kraut-like riffs and the intensity of ‘60s-era avant garde jazz, The Handover's music is a psychedelic journey that doesn't return to earth once it achieves levitation. For the past two years, The Handover has gained a strong live reputation with performances at Rewire Festival in The Hague, Counterflows Festival in Glasgow, BRDCST Festival in Brussels, Jazzfest Berlin, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Motvind Festival, Oslo World Festival and clubs all over Europa, the UK and Egypt. In 2025, The Handover was selected for an official showcase at WOMEX. A second album is scheduled to release in 2026, again on Sublime Frequencies. ' 'Wherever your mind and body might be when The Handover begins, they’ll be someplace better when...
