"Sell out warning! Trad-drone-metal mesmerism from the Lankum fold! One Leg One Eye are to the uilleann pipes what Sunn O))) are to guitars - rewriting the history of the instrument in expansive, infinite landscapes of heaviness. Nightmares await FFO: Hilary Woods, Swans, Quade, Keeley Forsyth, Phurpa."

ONE LEG ONE EYE
One Leg One Eye is the project of Ian Lynch (founding member of Irish group Lankum) and George Brennan (BB84, Melodica Deathship, Cholera House, Deep Burial). Musically they explore submerged leylines of music and song, drawing on the raw aesthetics of black metal, noise and drone, while also being deeply embued with a sense of history and myth.
CRONE (released via AD 93) is the second album from Lynch and Brennan, following on from 2022’s slowburn slab of ambient grit, …And Take The Black Worm With Me. Bewildering, psychedelic and ultimately transcendental, the four tracks of One Leg One Eye’s CRONE shapeshift and morph endlessly in a coarse miasma. Traditional song structures and vocal melody are eschewed, instead the trio directly channel energies from the rich seams of mythological significance submerged below the Irish psyche. The anger, rage and beauty of the sovereignty goddess burn a consistent and deliberate line through the album in the form of obscure incantations and dire pronouncements, the gnarled sinews that bind it all together.

Daniel Foggin (Smote/Bong II)
Daniel Foggin, most notably known for his work as Smote and as part of Bong II, offers a rare solo endeavour. Foggin takes a departure from his usual favoured medium of blown out none-master volume amplifiers and seeks the warm embrace of sub-heavy analogue synthesis. With all concepts of time and tempo well and truly thrown out of the window, this new work promises durational, immersive worlds through the use of microtonal oscillators, none linear composition and glacial distortion.

Twelfth House
Twelfth house is a project in its infancy that came together during the summer of 2025, initially, as an impromptu jam session above the babbling murmur of the Nova Scotia's beer garden. Comprising of artists Derridea (Georgia Cusack), Norman Church (Hamish Trevis aka Kinlaw) and Fohn (Tom Connolly, Quade), the project's introspective intensity delves into lineage, land and lore. Displacement and the shifting sands of connection ebb and flow through the music, a fluctuating pulse of raw acoustic elements that swell into pockets of sweeping vastness.
An organic gathering, much like the intimacy of a secluded rural session, these folk elements are reimagined under a landscape of more modern tones and textures that ache with melancholy and subdued mysticism
Entry requirements: 14+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
