About this concert
Melbourne, Australia-based Adam Geoffrey Cole and his band TRAPPIST AFTERLAND make beautifully meditative deep acid folk/devotional music using voices, various acoustic stringed instruments, tabla, percussion, harmonium and Tanpura drones, and have been doing so since 2012, during the course of which they have released at least 25 albums as well as a live take on the soundtrack to Nic Roeg's 'Walkabout' on labels such as SUGARBUSH RECORDS, REVERB WORSHIP and many more. This show, the only London date on a tour of London and Europe, promises to be a fantastic and a rare opportunity to catch this mesmerising artist in concert.
HENRY PARKER's contemporary take on folk, which he explores via thoughtful yet deeply accomplished guitar playing, unfurls and moves much like the landscape itself - mirroring the unpredictable, yet beautifully flowing, rolling hills and valleys of his hometown, the Aire Valley in West Yorkshire.

SHADOWS OF STEPHEN, Medieval drone-psych: "a London-based artist... deeply psychedelic... music is rooted in British traditional material, but it is informed by both a gothic darkness recalling Paul Roland and the same wyrd-folk precursors that illuminate Current 93?s best work. A beautiful listen."
{Byron Coley, THE WIRE, February 2020}

Henry Parker Biography
Henry Parker’s contemporary take on folk, which he explores via thoughtful yet deeply accomplished guitar playing, unfurls and moves much like the landscape itself – mirroring the unpredictable, yet beautifully flowing, rolling hills and valleys of his native county of West Yorkshire.
Parker’s musical roots go back to a self appointed upbringing in prog-rock and metal. However, enthralled at the age of 20 by the ethereal playing of Bert Jansch and Nick Drake, finger-picking and open tunings rapidly became the essence of his sound. The result is a strain of informed, progressive folk music found nowhere else.
Henry has recorded 2 albums: the eco-conscious ‘Silent Spring’ (2019) and ‘Lammas Fair’ (2021), bringing him to the forefront of the progressive folk music world. In 2023 he curated and recorded for American label Tompkins Square Records, bringing together a tribute album to Michael Chapman, one of his most important musical influences.
“His relaxed vocals and songwriting are as warm and open as his tunings” 8/10 Uncut Magazine
“What Parker does so effectively is to blend ancient with early-70’s and modern styles” Mojo ★★★★
“Original material and traditional songs create an immersive and mellifluous world in which both the peace and isolation of nature are unfurled evoked through subtle arrangements” Prog Magazine
“Focussing on the seasons is an eternal feature of English folk music and the tradition is well tended here.” Shindig! ★★★★
“Channelling the ghosts of Jansch and Renbourn through his fingertips, the fluid playing and emotive singing of Yorkshire-born Henry Parker evokes the spirit of the early-60’s folk revival as if it were yesterday.” RnR Magazine ★★★★★
