SUMMARY:Cerys Hafana / Aoife Foley at V and B Northampton
DESCRIPTION:Cerys Hafana is a Welsh triple harpist and composer who mangles\, mutates and transforms traditional music. They explore the creative possibilities of archival material\, folk songs and psalms\, found sounds and electronic processing\, alongside original compositions. They come from Machynlleth\, mid Wales\, where rivers and roads meet on the way to the sea.\n\nCerys has won over audiences from End of the Road\, Green Man to the Eisteddfod and from BBC 6 Music Festival to Celtic Connections with their magical\, progressive sound.\n\nEdyf\, their second album\, drew inspiration from material found in the Welsh National Librarys online archive\, including fragments of Psalm tunes\, hymns about doomsday and philosophical musings on the length of eternity\, along with some original compositions\, and was selected as one of The Guardians Top Ten folk albums of 2022.\nCerys latest EP\, The Bitter\, released earlier in 2024 is aninnovative exploration of some dark English and Scottish ballads.\nHafana explores resonances from the past that connect with the modern day in a contemporary\, creative wayâŠ they use their harp as a percussive\, jagged-toothed tool sings movingly\, their high voice like an indie-pop soprano shorn of its sweetness.Jude Rogers\, The Guardian.\nhttps://ceryshafana.bandcamp.com/\n\nWith Support from Aoife Foley on stage at 8pm\n\nThis shows will be all seated only 65 tickets available\, Sorry all tickets have been sold\,

SUMMARY:VISUALISE at 78
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Stitched Textiles \nThe Bassett-Lowke Rooms \n\n\nSat 8 Mar 2025 â Sun 25 May 2025 \n\n\n\nAn exhibition of Contemporary Stitched Art Textiles \nWe are delighted to be hosting this new exhibition of textiles and mixed media work which has been created by the Visualise textile group. Visualise was formed several years ago\, by like-minded artists who enjoy creating diverse work with stitch as the common thread. \nThe exhibition will also feature work by internationally known textile artist and Embroiderers Guild member Nigel Cheney who is the current mentor to Visualise. \nOn display is a diverse array of abstract\, realistic and figurative art using a wide variety of media: paper\, fabric (new\, distressed and recycled) and found objects which are hand and machine stitched\, or felted to create art inspired by both the natural world and the built environment. \nThe exhibition includes textile art inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and 78 Derngate itself\, with framed and small items for sale. \nCombining a look round the iconic Charles Rennie Mackintosh House before visiting the exhibition\, gardens and shop\, followed by partaking of some drink or food in The Dining Room is the perfect way to spend a glorious few hours in Northampton town. \nThere will be some âMeet the Artistsâ days during the exhibition\, details as yet to be announced. \nThe members meet regularly in Welford\, Northamptonshire\, with the aim of promoting creativity through rigorous discipline\, underpinned by an interest in the history of textiles worldwide. \nOpening on Saturday 8th March until Sunday 25th May 2025\, closed Mondays\n10am- 4.30 pm â free admission to galleries\, shop and cafe. \nhttps://www.visualise.online/
