Lorum Ipsum music is an atmospheric, evocative, and emotional hybrid of the Welsh folk tradition, and of contemporary influences and working practices. Building on a deepened, almost ambient sound picture, the songs take you into the landscape and the emotions that it evokes. Music is a living thing, not a museum piece, and the way that 9Bach compose and perform reflect this.

Lorum Ipsum are Lisa Jen on vocals and Martin Hoyland on guitars, together with Dan Swain (bass guitar), Esyllt Glyn Jones (harp, vocals), and Mirain Roberts (vocals).

Known for her unique use of the fiddle as an accompaniment to her vocals, Creole folk star Germa Adan uses delicate yet intricate rhythm and harmonies in her work to create intriguing songs influenced by Haitian, American and British folk fused with classical music.

Her storytelling style has a strong undercurrent of social consciousness at the heart of her music and a desire to explore themes of the past and the modern day.

Night of Power returns this February; an exciting event aimed at championing young performers, giving them their chance to perform live to an audience. The evening will be a showcase of London’s up-and-coming young singers, rappers, poets and performers who are eager to get on stage after lockdowns have dampened such activities.

 

Not only will Night of Power be performed by young people, but it will be organised by them too, with the production and direction of the show in the hands of some very talented young organisers. All this has been made possible with the help of our friends at The Avenues Youth Project, Westminster Academy, Paddington Academy, The Rise Collective, Westminster University, Future Men and Amberly Youth Club.

 

Tickets are free, but booking is required.
