Haze and The Tirith at The Old Cold Store, Nottingham

Event information

HAZE Despite building their reputation as a progressive rock band, Haze have always drawn on a wide variety of influences, ranging from pop, rock, folk, metal, meandering psychedelic jams to tightly structured prog epics. Formed in Sheffield in the late 1970s by brothers Chris & Paul McMahon, they established their reputation as one of the hardest working underground bands of the ‘80s. Despite disbanding in 1988, the band reformed ten years later and have continued to perform regularly ever since, including weekly live-streamed concerts during Lockdown. Their latest studio album, Back to the Bones, is probably their heaviest-sounding release and follows a definite back to their roots direction. It’s also their fastest-selling album to date, proving that Haze’s legendary reputation is richly deserved.
THE TIRITH are a genuine Prog band from the 70s, who reformed in 2010 to fulfill the dream, releasing their debut album “Tales from the Tower” to critical acclaim in 2015. The band play an original brand of guitar-based Prog supplemented by keyboards. Their influences are very wide, centred on the songs of Tim Cox and Richard Cory, they can sound like a Prog Metal band one moment and a folk rock band the next, with many styles between and alongside. Following on from their appearance at the Nene Valley Rock Festival in Sept 2024, they will be debuting some new material at this gig alongside a few classics from their 3 previous albums.
