Richard Hawley, Bill Ryder-Jones, John Grant to play three venues in one night

Richard Hawley, Bill Ryder-Jones and John Grant will each play gigs at three different Sheffield venues on the same night in October.

In association with the Sensoria Festival, the trio play Sheffield’s Trafalgar Warehouse, Upper Chapel and Drama Studio on October 8th, each performing a 40-minute acoustic set before heading off to the second and third venues to do the same during the course of the evening.

All three acts were active with solo albums last year – Hawley making Live4ever’s end of year list, as did Ryder-Jones with ‘West Kirby County Primary‘.

“‘Satellites’ is his passive-aggressive take on ‘Where is My Mind’, while ‘Let’s Get Away From Here’ pulls the infamous Black/Kim Deal one-two in seeming like a beautiful little ditty, seemingly needing no further description, until it suddenly does,” our review reads.

“A trick that changes only slightly on ‘Catharine and Huskisson’, to equally brilliant effect. It’s this contrast which works so well. Much of the record seems slight, achieved by a brilliant musical economy on his part.”
