Sheffield Gig Selection 31st October – 6th November

Lanterns on the Lake, Laura J Martin & Cats:For:Peru on Thursday 3rd November at The Harley

The Newcastle sextet heads a very strong line-up at The Harley this week. They mix beautiful folk melodies with subtle electronic infusions to create something rather wonderful. Delicate, delightful and utterly hypnotic. Support comes from the Merseyside minstrel, Laura J Martin, employing her vocals, a loop pedal, a flute and whatever else comes to hand. The cherry on top being our very own sickeningly talented favourites, Cats:For:Peru.

Following a short hiatus, and almost 10 years since their Mercury nominated album Holes in the Wall, ESP are back and with new material to boot. The line-up features a strong mix of local and Manchester bands, with the adorable Screaming Maldini, and the brilliant The Legend of Seven Black Tentacles being the highlights.
