Elliot Galvin ‘The Ruin’ album launch -- Friday 7th Feb | 7pm |

An artist with little need for introductions, Elliot Galvin is a long-time trailblazer in the UK jazz firmament with four solo albums that have seen him top album of the year lists at the likes of Downbeat and Jazzwise, as well as being a member of the Mercury nominated Dinosaur, and collaborating with Shabaka Hutchings, Emma-Jean Thackray, Norma Winstone, Marius Neset and Mark Lockheart.

Join us for the album release via independent London tastemaker label Gearbox Records (Binker & Moses, Abdullah Ibrahim, Cahill//Costello), “The Ruin” marks a new start for Galvin. This is his most personal album to date; written on his childhood piano and inspired by the bleak yet beautiful landscapes of his hometown, the music free-flows between serpentine piano and modular synth lines weaving and colliding around ephemeral vocalisations, deceivingly groove-heavy percussion, and intricate, soulful flute improvisations, featuring a who’s who of estimable guest musicians and friends from the UK scene including renowned bassist and vocalist Ruth Goller, Polar Bear drummer and Patti Smith / Damon Albarn collaborator Sebastian Rochford, and longtime collaborators The Ligeti String Quartet.

"A virtuosic, risk-embracing one-off" - John Fordham, The Guardian

Deaf Center, Otto A Totland + Sumie
Sunday 17.11.24 | Midday to 3pm | 
Food + Drink from midday - Live performances from 1pm.

Deaf Center comprises Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Erik K. Skodvin and pianist Otto A. Totland, who operate at the axis of ambient, contemporary classical and drone music. Old school friends, they both grew up in a small village in southern Norway. At the start of the 2000´s they finally decided to collaborate. Deaf Center has released several recordings through the last 20 years, including albums Pale Ravine (2005), Owl Splinters (2011) and most recently Low Distance (2019) on Sonic Pieces. In their music, the importance is placed on timelessness, friendship and the combination of warm human connection with otherworldly abstractions.

Norweigan artist Otto Andreas Totland is a self-taught pianist. Otto has determined himself as a timeless composer who follows nothing but his own gut and heart. Otto released his first solo piano album, Pinô, in 2014, an album of highly personal compositions built up through years of intimate performing for his friends and family. This started off his trilogy of piano compositions for the Sonic Pieces label, which also contain The Lost (2017) & Companion (2021). Totland´s latest record, Exin, was released on Nils Frahm´s Leiter label, who has recorded and produced all of Otto's solo albums to date.

The Gothenburg-resident impressionistic singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist Sumie has just completed the recording of her third album. It is the follow-up to Sumie, her selftitled debut, and Lost In Light, both issued by the UK’s totemic Bella Union label, also the home of Father John Misty, John Grant, Mercury Rev and Susanne Sundfør. Sumie's as-yet untitled new album will be issued in 2025. These rare appearances are the first opportunity – anywhere – to hear a selection of her new songs. Expect lyrical obliqueness and the marriage of understated intensity with filigreed atmospherics.
