Totnes, The Civic Hall
One of my favourites, returns to Totnes. This Is The Kit's music places companionship at a premium, so being welcomed into its space feels like an obvious privilege, on record and in concert hall with her stellar supporting cast of Rozi Plain (bass), Jamie Whitby-Coles (drums) and Neil Smith (guitar). And at this current point in our confusing history, continuing to be here at all, to stand tall and make music to gather to, that's a heroic act. Joyful survival as an act of time-wasting, I'll take that any day of the week. Look to This Is The Kit to spend at least one day of your week this year, I guarantee it will be time well wasted.

William Tyler is a Nashville guitarist and composer. Recently he had a massive album with Kieran Hebden aka Fourtet. He’s done modern country, he’s done boundary-pushing guitar work, and now William Tyler is taking us through a haunted funfair of strange, claustrophobic music that hunts down and confronts his demons. Previously of Lambchop and Silver Jews, William has made plenty of pretty music, but last year’s Time Indefinite is “a vortex of noise”, “haunting, beautiful and unsettlingly close” and one that will stay with you for a long time.
