Lost Property Upcoming productionshttps://lost-property.org.ukChopChop // Thimblehttps://lost-property.org.uk/production/chopchop-thimble/Širom + Athina Bhttps://lost-property.org.uk/production/sirom-athina-b-2/Širom return to The Rose Hill after their sell-out show last year! These three self-taught musicians ingeniously connect the dots between past and present – taking inspiration from avant-folk, free improvisation and various global music traditions.
“Širom fashion maximalist avant-garde soundscapes from antique acoustic instruments like the balafon and hurdy gurdy. Their artfully rootless roots music makes an impassioned statement both aesthetically and, more opaquely, politically too.” — Uncut
“I got to finally catch Širom in their glory of home ground – outstanding.” – Gilles Peterson, BBC6
“Beautiful, messy, playful, terrifying, sweet stuff – you never knew where they were going to go.” – Jude Rogers, Guardian
 

Athina B

Named for a Brighton shipwreck and a fragment of a Slum of Legs lyric, Athina B are a band playing from the liminal spaces – capturing the sounds of twilight, halfway between dream and memory where birds are caught midflight, lit by a setting sun. Helmed by local favourites YOU&TH and Rdyer, with occasional guests and passers through, they turn found sounds, layered violin, bells, polyrhythms, harps, chants and charms into semi-improvised paeans to time and life and joy. With only a few performances to their name, they’ve already built a reputation for riveting performances and incredible on-stage chemistry. Not to be missed. FFO: Dirty Three, Laurie Anderson, Lau nau, Haress, Kronos Quartet https://athinab.bandcamp.com]]>
