He organises and co-curators the Curious Ear series for improvised music in Manchester.��Steve Malley is best known as the driving force of the power trio The Unit Ama. Malley’s solo work as The Horse Loom features beautiful, articulate guitar playing reminiscent of the 60’s folk revivalists such as Bert Jansch and Davey Graham but imbued with a legacy of New Wave and post-rock guitar bands. With his solo SA Malley project he explores the outer edges of the electric guitar via free improv techniques and collaborations.

ADRA

Andy Abbott is an artist, musician and writer who lives in West Yorkshire, UK. For a long time Andy was synonymous with pummelling noise; playing guitar in celebrated Leeds bands such as the ferocious duo That Fucking Tank or the double-drumming psych outfit Nope. However, in recent years – under his solo moniker ADRA – he has been making minimalist abstract music, alongside more acoustic and ambient-leaning explorations.

In 2024 Andy released ‘Music For Psychiatric Wards (And Fluid Structures)’; a compilation of recordings inspired by his experiences as a creative practitioner performing ambient music in psychiatric wards across Yorkshire in 2023

Previous releases include tapes and vinyl for Bloxham Tapes, Reverb Worship and Folklore Tapes. He has collaborated with Alice Hubble, Aby Vulliamy and Dean McPhee; and shared tours and bills with Maurizio Abate and Above the Tree, Edgars Rubenis, Ex-Easter Island Head and Norway’s Soft Noise Ensemble.
