The festival will also include a haunting live performance of Gazelle Twin’s recent LP, 'Black Dog', which is described as a plunge into darkness rooted in the theatrics of the séance and the phenomena of ghosts. From recurring dreams to childhood fears and memories, Gazelle Twin transforms intense personal experiences into resonant songs.
- When: Saturday 5 October at 8pm.
- Where: The University of Sheffield Drama Studio
