7PM · £25.50 + BF · 18+

Spawned in the era of warehouse raves the seminal band The Sabres of Paradise, along with the likes of the Chemical Brothers, Underworld and Leftfield were lauded as the true pioneers of a new wave of dance / electronica taking over the clubs and eventually the airwaves.

Formed in 1992 The Sabres of Paradise, originally a studio partnership of Andrew Weatherall, Jagz Kooner and Gary Burns, were prolific working with and remixing the artists of the day including Bjork, Leftfield and New Order before signing to the iconic Warp Records to concentrate on their own sound.

In preparation for the 2025 version of the live shows, the band has gone back to the original files, tracks recorded on Akai samplers and now defunct multitrack Hi-8 systems, and have been bringing them up to date with the latest tech; rebuilding building every track to make sure it is as close to the originals and possible. They have also commissioned Chris Tomsett of Innerstrings to create live visuals for the performances ensuring that The Sabres Of Paradise Live will truly be an audio visual spectacular worthy of the band’s legacy.

Gruff Rhys

SPECIAL GUESTS
Rich Mix
Thursday 15 May 2025

7:30PM · £30+BF · UNDER 18S ACCOMPANIED BY ADULT

In 2012 Gruff Rhys embarked on a solo ‘investigative concert tour’ through the heart of America following the route taken by his distant relative John Evans. Every night he presented songs augmented by a power point presentation that detailed his relative’s unbelievable history, along with any new piece of information that had come his way during the day. He was ultimately looking for Evans’s lost unmarked grave.

Along with many major cities the tour took him to play shows at the Mandan and Omaha tribe reservations, a Missouri vineyard, villages that no longer exist that lay at the bottom the Mississippi river and a New Orleans bordello.

What transpired from that ‘investigative concert tour’ was a 2014 album, American Interior, plus a book, film and exhaustive tour of the same name. With the aid of the dusted-off power point presentation, Gruff Rhys and a full band revisits the project in 2025 to perform the songs that formed both the album, and the soundtrack to the film.
