“This record came out of a recording where I was lucky enough to support Esmerine (featuring members of Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Set Fire To Flames, Silver Mt Zion). It was made extra special by being able to play in the beautiful St Paul’s Church in Birmingham. Thank-you to Capsule for asking me to play, and all who came to the show!”

Our next event at the lovely St Paul’s church takes place Saturday 27th April and features Barn Owl, Grumbling Fur and Ex Easter Island Head. Tickets are available via www.theticketsellers.co.uk

Thanks to all who came along to what was a really special show last Saturday. The stunning St Paul’s Church was animated with beautiful visuals and gorgeous sounds from Canada’s Esmerine. The multi instrumental collective, featuring members of Godspeed and Silver Mt ZIon created an incredible audio visual experience that matched the venue perfectly.

Support came from Stourbridge’s Adam Beckley, performing drone guitar looped through various effects

A great evening all round, thanks again to audience, artists and our ever lovely volunteers. The next show will have a slightly different feel, with Harvey Milk performing at Hare & Hounds on Tuesday 22nd May – but hey, that’s the diversity you can expect from Capsule!
