Sullow with support from Spiral (Teresa Winter and Tom James Scott)

Event Information

Sullow are an improvising trio comprising Jacken Elswyth, Daniel S. Evans and Joshua Barfoot of Shovel Dance Collective. Inflected and informed by traditional music, they negotiate an improvisation that has been variable described as ‘farmyard’ and ‘rodeo’. Repeated patterns rise and fall in quick attacks, short decays and dense bursts of momentary composition. For information on their music and performances check nothingofthehorses.com

Spiral is the duo of Teresa Winter and Tom James Scott, active since summer 2023. In a performance setting they experiment with loose, evolving structures, moving between organ, guitar, violin, bass and vocals.

Yorkshire-based composer and musicologist, Teresa Winter, is a mainstay on prism-pushing experimental labels Night School, Death of Rave, Kashual Plastik, and Do You Have Peace?. With a doctorate on the vitally important English composer and electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire, her work exists in conversation with the sonic and technological legacies of modernism and esoteric ritual.

Tom James Scott is a musician from the North-West coast of England, currently residing in West Yorkshire. As an instrumentalist he primarily focuses on guitar and piano, while also employing samplers, keyboards, prepared strings, percussion and an array of analogue and digital production techniques to create an intimate, often diaristic sound world. Since 2007 he has published solo recordings through a number of labels including Alter, xquisite releases, Students of Decay, Where To Now?, and his own Skire imprint (established in 2013).
