Gwenifer Raymond & Sam Grassie!

Next week (Thursday, 19th June) we welcome Gwenifer Raymond with special guest Sam Grassie to St Mary's Creative Space, Chester.

Welsh instrumentalist Gwenifer Raymond, is set to announce her third studio album, to be released September 5th on Canadian label We Are Busy Bodies. Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark is a hybrid of the ancient and the futuristic, where the arcane etchings of occult folk horror fuse with the unfathomable equations of the cosmos. As celestial drones and mutant folk meet a frenetic blues that bends and twists like space-time, on her new album Raymond finds herself evoking the work of pioneering rocket scientists, the words of fictional hobo prophets and the concepts of mathematical infinity.

“awe-inspiring technique and intense musicality” - The Observer

Traversing both traditional and contemporary folk music, Scottish-born, London-based fingerstyle guitarist and songwriter Sam Grassie has been making a name for himself on the indie circuit as both a captivating player and potent songwriter. While such tenacity on the acoustic guitar owes much to the playing of Jansch et al, his debut EP Sandwood — a flurry of woodwind, sax, drones, and double bass — carves out a sound of his very own.

Tickets are £14 in advance from Grey n Pink Records or See Tickets.

Two of the finest guitarists we've seen in a spectacular venue, folks. This will be a show to remember; be sure to make it!
