Opening for LYR on 22 Jan is London-based composer and guitarist Vraell.

Vraell (real name Alessio Scozzaro) makes music in the quietness of spring and summertime dusk. For that one hour of cerulean sky, the London-based musician’s ideas come to life, illuminated by the poignancy of evening as it turns to night. He wrote much of his forthcoming debut album “Once a Blue Hour” during these bewitching moments, filling the silence with music that delves into the darkness and beauty of healing.

Check out his piece 'Between' and book tickets at the link below - in Vraell's own words, "I wrote this about the suspension we feel between the chaos and stillness of everyday life."

Each brings their own story and connection to John’s music - in the wake of a special one off, sold out show in 2018 at the Camden Jazz Cafe, the group decided to take the project on tour and the warm reception it's received has inspired them to continue.

Our Story

Home to thought-provoking theatre, magic music, dramatic dance, side-splitting comedy and exciting exhibitions, the Brewery Arts Centre is the cultural hub of South Lakeland.

From humble beginnings in a disused brewhouse in the early 70s, The Brewery has grown into one of the North’s leading multi-arts venues with a year round-programme of quality arts and entertainment events.

The Brewery boasts mainstream and arthouse cinemas, real-ale pub, pizza restaurant, vibrant café and beautiful gardens making it Kendal’s number one entertainment destination.

The centre plays host to several major festivals during the year including the Freerange Comedy Festival, Kendal Mountain Festival and the Lakes International Comic Art Festival.
