Together Night and Wood sing haunting ballads, wordless songs and intimate original and traditional folk songs, woven with hypnotic guitar parts, the bodhrán drum and harmonies.
NightWood create an experience in which the audience can soften, feel, and lean into parts of themselves that can often be neglected in modern life.
They bring moments of spontaneous/ lilting vocals in which their two voices together open up a sonic world that invites the audience into the mystery of the unseen.
With ritualistic synergy, Night, a long time recording and performing artist joins with Wood, steeped in ancestral songs from the land and a voice developed in medicinal contexts. These two realms marry and merge effortlessly as they share the stage.
Their live shows have an undertone of subtle humour and are an ode to friendship as told through song and harmony. NightWood explore themes of grief, connection to the animistic and mytho-poetic, and the richest realms of life; love and beauty.
This event features violinist Cye Wood who is a sonic world unto himself and not to be missed.
18+ is recommended as it's an intimate performance night.
