Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Mesmerising Liverpool duo Loris and the Lion bringing a dark breed of baroque folk to the Orchard; trembling Sandy Denny-channelling vocals and orchestral instrumentation carry modern twists on fairy and folktales with haunting beauty and pathos. Essential FFO: Kate Bush, Anohni, Joanna Newsom, Tori Amos, Bat For Lashes."

A gig on Sunday 24th March. The event starts at 19:30.
Cuculi Presents an evening with Liverpool folk noir duo Loris and the Lion at The Orchard Coffee & Co in St George (BS5 7LA) on Sunday 24 March.
Combining a knack for heart-rending lyrics and cinematic drones, their Kate Bush-esque ballads are interspersed with dark humour and wry poignancy. Fresh from supporting folk superstars Ye Vagabonds, we're thrilled to welcome them for their debut Bristol gig.
To open the night, we're excited to host the very first performance from a new duo: harpist Finn Buchanan and guitarist Ben Gibson draw on a shared love of South American folk traditions to create an immersive sound world of spiralling melodies.
There are three ticket prices available for this show:
General: £13
Community supporter: £16
Low income: £10
We ask that those who make more than £25k per year consider opting for Community Supporter as this allows us to subsidise low income tickets.. We consider low income to apply to those who earn less than £15k per year, but we don’t ask for any proof.

LORIS AND THE LION
Loris & the Lion weave gentle tales of joy and loss; a patchwork of sonic delights to soothe the soul and feed the heart.
An alt folk duo from Liverpool, navigating life together accompanied by: fairytales; folktales; lifetales; a piano; a clarinet; a harmonium; a guitar (often bowed); too many effects pedals; sometimes a tenor recorder; some homemade bells; many other instruments they haven’t discovered yet; a shared love of choral music; an insatiable appetite for tea; a general love of nature (especially trees when looked up at from beneath); Joni Mitchell (naturally); Kate Bush (a first love); love (a second one).
Calling to mind the sounds and spirit of Joanna Newsom, Tori Amos and Jesca Hoop.
