Geraldine Snell is a multifaceted artist and musician from Keighley, now based in Hebden Bridge (via Edinburgh and London). Her melodic, meditative, mellifluous music makes mesmerized audiences slow down and soften to the precious vulnerability and medicinal potential of creative expression. Her sound is tender, ethereal, and hypnotic, channelling similar vibes as artists ranging from Grouper, Julee Cruise, Laurie Anderson, and Portishead to Tirzah, Cocteau Twins, James Blake, and Beach House. Inspired by eclectic influences – from classical and choral music through to dreampop and downtempo, indie and lofi, via jazz and jams in all genres – her enchanting sets promise sonic soothing and grooving. With recent highlights ranging from the release of second album Light & Love LIVE (produced on a creative retreat awarded by Britten Pears Arts Trust) and Cocoon: Eclosion EP with Debugger (Richard Knight) to performances at Spice of Life Soho, Katzpace London, and festivals across the UK, Geraldine will be releasing new music in the lead up to her third album overlove, across 2024.

Tam Lin flickers between the synthetic and organic in search of meaningful chaos. With hardware electronics and a collection of carefully chosen objects, they move between industrial noisescapes, quiet ambient, and displaced club beats.
Hosted by our very own DJ Cheesemaster
Chris [Symmetrical Forces] creates live visuals for each performance using his own lo-fi footage, dusty VHS tapes and obscure videos from the internet to create futuristic images from the past overlayed with out-of-reach memories and vague fragments of lost visions.
