Music at Bills Kitchen with Aidan Thorne and Toby Hay

Join us in Bill’s Kitchen for our monthly music night with Aidan Thorne and Toby Hay Modern folk music inspired by the landcsape of Brecnorshire and Radnorshire. 


In 2021, guitarist Toby Hay & bassist Aidan Thorne (Duski) headed to the studio to make an album of new music, the inspiration being the things they missed most due to the restrictions of the pandemic. They focussed on improvisation and the timbre of acoustic instruments in real spaces. The yearning for the energy one can get from live performance with a fellow musician drove the project forward. They will be performing material from their new album, from previous albums, and improvising new pieces.

"another exquisite release from Cambrian Records.” **** Ian Sinclair, Morning Star

"Hay’s cascading arpeggios landing on the soft supportive bedrock provided by Thorne’s supple strings” Jude Rogers, The Guardian 

 "Something else to add pleasure to this summer is After a Pause, the new album of acoustic duo music by two brilliant Welsh musicians, the guitarist Toby Hay and the bassist and cellist Aidan Thorne” Richard Williams, the blue moment
