Crosscut Saw

A three-piece blues roots, rock band from the UK, Yorkshire based with Alex Eden, lead singer, guitarist and harmonica player, drummer Richard Ferdinando and bass player Richard Green. The band glean inspiration from the likes of The Black Keys, Magic Sam, RL Burnside, Taj Mahal and Dr John. 

Germ Lattice / Auguste Vickunaite / Creep of Paris (Thomas LaRoche) / Anna Peaker

An evening of experimental music at Wharf Chambers centered around reel-to-reel and tape machines.

Joe Barton, Mickey Donnelly, and Louie Rice met in London during the 2000’s but it wasn’t until they had relocated to Norwich in recent years that they rented a studio in a condemned brutalist shopping centre and the GERM LATTICE sound was formed. They began by agreeing what they didn’t want the project to be: no improvising or jamming, no overdubs, keep the tracks short etc..
