Three generations. Timeless ballads. One unforgettable story. From award-winning songwriter Finn Anderson (Islander) and visionary director Tania Azevedo (But I’m a Cheerleader), Ballad Lines is a soaring new folk musical blending centuries-old Scottish, Irish, and Appalachian ballads with a bold contemporary score exploring the stories we carry through generations. Sarah thought she’d left her childhood behind. A queer woman living in New York City, she’s long severed ties with the folk traditions of her upbringing. But when old ballads resurface, so do the voices of her ancestors — pulling her on a life-changing journey across time. Spanning continents and generations, Ballad Lines follows three women bound together by blood, song, and choice. In 17th-century Scotland, Cait, a minister’s wife, wrestles with the constraints of her role. In 18th-century Ireland, Jean, a spirited teenager, faces an uncertain future. In 21st-century New York, Sarah is caught between the life she’s built and the pull of the past. Blending original music with traditional Scottish, Irish, and Appalachian ballads, Ballad Lines follows three women across three centuries. Together, their voices weave a story of love, legacy, and the ties that bind us all. CAPTIONED: Wednesday, 11th March, 7pm

"Blasting their way through all or any genre distinctions in a storied journey across the chaos and nonsense of sixteen years, London's Teeth Of The Sea remain true to their original mission - to set sparks flying at the meeting point between raw noise and rich atmosphere. Thundering beat-driven abandon, chaotic psychedelia, heavy melancholia and indelible melody have all coalesced and converged on their five albums for Rocket Recording. From the basements of East London, Teeth Of The Sea have forged forward intrepidly over twelve years, four albums and two EPs to become heralded as the UK's most adventurous and unclassifiable outfit in the realm of the psychedelic. As inspired by virulent garage-driven noise as austere avant-garde experimentation and driven by soundtrack atmospherics, jazz exploration and electronic dissonance alike, theyve outgrown their original influences (Butthole Surfers, Eno, Goblin, Aphex Twin, Throbbing Gristle) to forge a sound both richly celestial and acidically synapse-scorching.
