Jump into a world of analogue synths, cassette tapes, live looping, epic storytelling and roaring songs to raise a rallying cry for our times.

Songs for the End of the World was listed in the Guardian’s Top 10 Things to do This Week, October 2017: “With a varied musical palette, highly talented musicians and a winking affection for the eschatological, this is an apocalyptic rock’n’roll cabaret which earns its self-styling as ‘gig-theatre.’ “Taking the soundtrack to the Space Race and putting it in a colourful and brash Pulp world, with strong video design by Brett Harvey, brilliant performances from singers Coyote and Milly Oldfield, great synth sounds and cracking work on the drums from Daisy Palmer, Songs is a huge amount of fun."
“a perfect, otherworldly blend of theatre and concert […] It’s rare that we see such an innovative blend of music and theatre and I really think it could go far.”
“....if it comes down your way, don’t be scared: be brave and enter” On Folk in a Box
This show can sit in most locations where there is power and a flat surface so we can make it accessible to wheelchair users.
Dom offers music workshops. The workshop explores developing skills in production, beat making, looping and live electronic performance. Dom is well versed in both songwriting and electronic music production and is interested in developing young people's own styles, developing their own tastes, and teaching them about the history of electronic, beat based music. Dom will work specifically with Ableton Live, powerful music production software, used in professional live and studio environments, a programme he has over ten years of experience in using. He will also explore using analogue synthesizers and drum machines.
This can vary depending on what else is being presented during the same week. We would request between £500 - £800 + VAT per night.
