A gig on Tuesday 25th June. The event starts at 20:00.
Music starts at 9pm but The Looking Glass will be open earlier if anyone fancies a pre-show drink or a look at what's on show in the gallery downstairs - this is a free event but we'll be passing round a hat!

The Great Park
Stephen Burch is an English songwriter currently based in Germany.
He began making music whilst living on a remote farm in rural Ireland - using acoustic guitars, the family's piano, brooms and chains. His lyrical, narrative songs bear the influence of the fields of County Cork and the old streets of Berlin. Images of persecution abound, songs of urgent travel and a search for home - the unifying theme is that of grave drama within'The Great Park'.
Stephen has played over 150 concerts each year for the past several years - touring Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Denmark and the UK. He has released over 12 albums on the DIY label Woodland Recordings, a compilation through the German label Timezone, has provided music for several films and his songs have been covered on releases by Liz Green, The Sons of Noel And Adrian, Thirty Pounds of Bone and others.
He likes rooms with echo, train journeys, trams and girls on bicycles.

'a uniquely experimental approach to pop music . His music has the stately and cerebral sides of modern composition, not to mention thebeauty and grace, but also an intimacy and directness .' PopMatters
'If the Bedroom Communities roster are the post-romantics, like Brahms and Rachmoninovs, of 21st century indie-acceptable classical music, then Liam Singer is the Erik Satie of the group, playing wildly conceptual music that never quite loses its emotional resonance. ' Tome To The Weather Machine
