We're thrilled to announce TBC #7 will feature two particularly heavy bands; Glossop won't know what's hit it.

Returning to the North West for the first time since the release of their latest, incredible album, 'Umbilical', Thou will make their Glossop debut.

Moloch will likely shake the foundations of The Globe with their particularly nasty sonic obliteration.

Come to Glossop for a lovely day out!

Edgars Rubenis emerged on the underground scene in mid-2000’s as the member of Riga’s experimental rock band Mona de Bo. Often considered to be one of the most vital forces on the Baltic scene of the ensuing decade, this ensemble has released 5 albums spanning psychotic indie garage, collisions of free improv and noisy drone rock. After the intense experimental guitar period with Mona de Bo and in an abrasive solo practice, Rubenis moved to The Netherlands in 2012 to study sonology and composition at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.

Now he's bringing his distinctive performance to Glossop! He will join Matt Hill Songwriter and ADRA Promotions at Friends of Victoria Hall, Glossop on November 30.

⚫ Tickets are on sale now - as always there are tickets available for low and unwaged folk so finances need not be a barrier to joining us.

Later this month we'll be hosting TBC #6 at Victoria Hall, Glossop. Among the performers that night will be Abbott AKA ADRA AKA ADRA Promotions

For a long time Andy Abbott was synonymous with pummelling noise; playing guitar in celebrated Leeds bands such as the ferocious duo That Fu***ng Tank or the double-drumming psych outfit Nope. However, in recent years – under his solo moniker ADRA – he has been making minimalist abstract music, alongside more acoustic and ambient-leaning explorations.

Inspired by his time working as a Creative Practitioner in psychiatric wards as part of an NHS pilot scheme, Andy has channelled his creativity into his latest album 'Music for Psychiatric Wards (and Fluid Structures)'. The album is gaining accolades and attention and we're thrilled to have him join us at The Black Circle.

⚫ Tickets on sale now - and as always there are free options for low and unwaged music lovers. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1049049012837?aff=oddtdtcreator

05/11/2024

Glossop’s own Matt Hill Songwriter is an artist and Creative Practitioner who uses songwriting and music as a way to connect with people on the margins of society, whose voices are often ignored. He has co-written songs with people affected by homelessness, poverty, addiction, dementia, those who live inside prisons, asylum seekers and military veterans. These songs often explore topics like history, place and identity and his work has been commissioned by arts organisations, national museums, galleries and charities. For the first time ever, he will be playing a set of songs drawn exclusively from his community co-writing work.

Will you join us for TBC #6? Saturday, 30 November, Victoria Hall, Glossop.

Due to illness, Thraa will unfortunately no longer be able to perform at our event tomorrow night. But never fear, A-Sun Amissa / Richard Knox have stepped into the breach and will be performing a special set titled Drone Oracle.

Drone Oracle was premiered earlier this summer at Arctangent festival, and a recorded version of the expansive track will be available for free for all attendees at the gig.

Refunds are available if you no longer wish to attend in light of this change, please contact us if this is the case. However, we hope that you will still join us at The Globe for a great night of music.

Tickets are on sale until 3pm tomorrow, and then on the door.

Looking for some new music to ease you into the week?

As has become tradition, we have put together a playlist to complement our upcoming event. The playlist (and event!) features Thraa, R. Loomes and Twenty Three Hanging Trees so you can get a feel of what you’re in for.

Birthday Cake For Breakfast summed up the latest album from Thraa as follows: "In short, Thraa are a really exciting new prospect in the alternative scene and ‘Half Light’ is a bewilderingly transcendent piece.” - and who are we to argue.

See you on September 21? Tickets still available.

TBC5 is just a few weeks away!

If you've not caught on to Thraa and their meditative drone yet then there's time to get up to date before they roll through Glossop. Their latest album, 'Half Light' is a great place to start if you want to immerse yourself in the world of Thraa.

Support comes from R. Loomes and Twenty Three Hanging Trees
