The Secret Show from kate rowles on Vimeo.
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.

Diamond Catalog blew us away with their complex noise, seeped groove and DIY lightshow. Sit down rave!
SWLLWS created a special performance for this event. ‘Seance’ drew from Victoriana imagery and found family photographs.

A really special show, thanks to all who came out and thanks to VIVID and Fierce.

Tickets for this much anticipated show have now sold out – but Fierce and Capsule are looking for volunteers to assist with the running of the event. Volunteers will need to be available 5.30pm – 10pm on Thursday 5th April and will receive free entry to Fierce’s Holy Mountain Party and Shabba Dabbah Dah, as well
as concessions on other festival tickets. If you’d like to volunteer, get in touch with [email protected]
Thanks to all who came the show last night – a great night and a lovely enthusiastic Monday night crowd!
