LEUCOTOME are a gothic Industrial folk band from Manchester who combine witchy pagan chants, electronic textures and minimalist pop into a heady brew in their sonic cauldron.

In his new group The Heavy Lidders Jeffrey and the band take inspiration from folk, jazz and rock in a playful and exploratory way creating music which has drive and groove but plenty of space for improvisation.
“Quietly transcendent, deep and cosmically curious” – Psychedelic Scene
‘Jammed-up improvisations that have substance as well as sense and sensibility. This band can go anywhere and everywhere covering an immense ground between left-field bluegrass and blues to spiritual jazz (and then back again)’ – Echoes and Dust

FIRE TOWER 4 is a collective of improvising musicians from a variety of musical backgrounds, who work without preset material or structure producing music created in the moment and never to be repeated. With a sound that shifts and gently mutates over time, each FT4 gig evolves through the interaction between musicians in an act of instant composition, with influences drawn from kraut rock, minimalism, techno, psychedelia, hip-hop and jazz, no two Fire Tower 4 performances are the same.
