Thank you to the adventurous individuals who attended the Secret Show. Blindfolded throughout, the audience were guided through the city centre to a warehouse space where they witnessed the immersive sounds of internationally renowned sound artist Francisco Lopez in a scenario designed by artist James Webb.
Thanks to all who came out to last Friday’s sold out show with Grouper performing ‘Violet Replacement’. The show coincided with Fierce Festival’s opening weekend and was a very special evening, with excellent performances from Liz Harris (Grouper), Diamond Catalog and SWLLWS.

Hailing from Stourbridge near Birmingham, Adam Beckley uses field recordings and looped samples to create textures of sound, sometimes hypnotic noise, other times dreamy soundscapes.
Adam has released two tapes. The first called ‘Revere’ through the label ‘Carnage Club‘. The second and most recent release is a split tape with Los Angeles based musician Beru. This was put out on Adam’s own tape label ‘Armed Within Movement’ and is the first release for the label. You can listen to both these releases on the links below.
