Read moreThe Housekeeping Society (Ric Neal, Spencer Bayles and Ivan Mac) bring a programme inspired by tales of late 19th Century northern mill working communities.
A programme (with a video introduction) inspired by tales of late 19th century mill working communities in the North of England, and the imagined lives of the people living there. Songs about longing, feeling trapped, and realising that there might be other ways of life just out of reach. At the same time, these are also songs about a time of huge change in society, and how different people and institutions chose to embrace it.
Research for the programme included a trip to Styal Mill in Cheshire, where the band gathered sounds from period machinery that were then turned into samples and loops. These glimpses of electronica sit comfortably alongside the trio's piano, bass and cajon. This concert is one of a series featuring Alumni of the School of Music.
Light refreshments available from 12:30.
