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.
