PORTAL 

by Beccy Owen

PORTAL is a 50-(ish) minute durational piece that has been gently percolating in the seven years since Beccy Owen’s last album release.

Featuring new material and esoteric covers in a variety of languages (English, Old Scot’s, Arabic, Spanish) PORTAL began life as a series of long-form improvisations that accompanied intensive recovery from limbic burnout.

Absorbing, playful, and restorative, PORTAL is both medicinal and direct, culminating in a listening experience that is both comforting and disarming; like letting out a big, deep sigh that you didn’t even know you were holding in.

Relaxed event with chai tea, wine and cosy seating options.

Tickets from the UpCo shop.


Saturday 16th MAY

THE FORCEFIELDS 

Welcome to the world of THE FORCEFIELDS - a spellbinding multi-sensory universe dissolving the border between live concert and immersive theatre experience. 

At its center roars Aayama Forcefield, her raw, volcanic voice soaring through haunting and uplifting sonic landscapes. Her physicality is magnetic and alive with intention. 

Her co-pilot / producer / musical architect Max Forcefield anchors the experience on bass, sculpting a deep resonant current while conducting a synchronized living canvas of film, hand drawn animation, and abstract projections. The result is connection and transcendence. Described as “Florence + the Machine meets David Byrne in a cosmic, cathartic dream.”  BBC Cornwall and BBC Devon named their single LION TAMER Record of the Week.  Let’s raise the cosmic vibration together !

Tickets from the UpCo shop.
