Hope Of A Tree

  • St John the Evangelist’s Church, 23 New Briggate, Leeds LS2 8JD Leeds UK (map)

HOPE OF A TREE is a brand new piece, consisting of original songs and text, to be premiered at Leeds Lit Fest this year. This piece is themed around the idea of trees, woods and forests, inspired by The Overstory, the Booker-nominated novel by Richard Powers.

Over Christmas 2019 Peter composed several new songs for this project and we’ve been working on them for two nearly months now - taking our musical cue from pieces we enjoy performing, such as READY CHAIR and DEAD IN THE COLD, this suite of songs and text is a bit more homogeneous than our usual eclectic fare. Jacqui has some new technology she’s been playing with and Richard has been playing a lot of Country music. We’re really looking forward to be playing in St. John the Evangelist’s, it promises to be a very special evening :)
