Chimehours + The Sentimentalists
September 12 @ 9:00 pm - 11:00 pm
CHIMEHOURS is a collaboration between award-winning film and television composers Beck Goldsmith and Jon Dix. For their new venture they decided to conjure up a foray into cinematic, horror-flecked contemporary-folk to explore their love of the supernatural and the other-than-human.
Taking musical influence from the likes of Liz Fraser, Broadcast, Beth Gibbons and Bibio Chimehours raid the vaults of 70’s British cinema and trad folk soundscapes to riff on contemporary anxieties and ecological yearning to create music which is earthy, exquisitely haunting and a little grotesque.

“There’s a magical eeriness to the songs… We cannot help but be spellbound” – Louder Than War
Local legends THE SENTIMENTALISTS are a group who stand for lyricism, lovely music, and character. Centred around the songwriting prowess of Pip Fowler and featuring high calibre musicians who have collectively performed in Acoustic Alchemy, The Mission, Magna Carta and The Only Ones their songs of melancholy dark humour and gentle defiance will win over the stoniest of hearts.
