Gazelle Twin’s astonishing fourth album, Black Dog (Invada Records, 2023) was conceived from memories of her childhood home, and the nightmare of a looming presence within. Moving from delicate tenderness to doom-driven power, the songs of Black Dog are reworked by Gazelle Twin with Max de Wardender, for the London Contemporary Orchestra, conducted by Robert Ames. This is a special live event, exploring new depths of ghostly intensity.
As a unique bonus, attendees for the event will be able to see the new British Library exhibition, Medieval Women: in their own words, included in the event ticket. Arrive early to meet these women from another time, through rare manuscripts, letters and records.
The performance is also a curtain raiser for the British Library’s Tales of the Weird: An Autumnal Festival: a celebration of strange, uncanny and horror writing. The programme will be unveiled soon.
Doors open 19:30. On stage times to be announced later.
14+ only. 14s to 15s must be accompanied by an adult.
This is a standing event.
Discounts available for BL Members, students and under 26s
