TICKETS HERE

A unique double-bill of atmospheric sounds from Sholto Dobie and Chilean group Glorias Navales.

Both acts will bring a mellow string vibe to a Tuesday night in Barrow Park.

Sholto Dobie was born in Edinburgh and lives in Vilnius. He uses loose structures and an array of sound-sources including home-made organs and hurdy gurdy. His performances are personal and intuitive, often coming across as delicate, evocative, and absurd.

Glorias Navales’ jam is somewhere between Chilean folk music (a la Violeta Parra) and ramshackle post-Velvets psychedelia.

The perfected their gentle guitar and sleepy drums sound after rehearsing constantly in a basement in Santiago. After more than a year of rehearsing, creating and composing, a cassette came out on Traición 73 Records followed by the group’s first live shows.

Shortly thereafter Graham Lambkin's KYE Records released their first LP, Cofradía Náutica, a collection of live and studio recordings.

They have since performed in the UK and Europe several times and this is a rare foray to the coast of Cumbria. Do not miss this.

Doors open 19:00 for 19:30 prompt start

If you arrive after 1930 you may have to wait for the interval before being admitted to the performance space.
