About this Event
Concrete Atlantis Present: A Lammas Night Gathering with words spoken by Justin Hopper, unseen pictures from Rachel Poulton and live music from Gilroy Mere
Hosted by Stoncirclesampler & Travis Elborough
It was upon a Lammas night,
When corn rigs are bonie,
Beneath the moon's unclouded light,
I held awa to Annie:
The time flew by, wi' tentless heed,
Till 'tween the late and early;
Wi' sma' persuasion she agreed,
To see me thro' the barley.
Gilroy Mere
Multi-musician Oliver Cherer under the alias Gilroy Mere will be performing songs from his forthcoming album Furlongs, inspired by the art of Eric Ravilious and the chalk landscape of Sussex.
In early 2025, Ollie was diagnosed with cancer and had to travel to Brighton Hospital for radiotherapy treatment. Taking the daily 40-mile train ride from St-Leonard's-on-Sea and through the Downs, Ollie filled the journey making music.
Rachel Poulton
Rachel Poutlon is a Chichester-based writer, photographer and educator whose interests lie with our connections to the past and place. Her work examines philosophy, inner and outer landscapes, myth and reality, the past, the present and the borderlands between, and which she explores in her photographic zine, Unseen.
Justin Hopper
Justin Hopper is a writer of landscape, memory and myth. Born in America but based in Essex. His acclaimed non-fiction book The Old Weird Albion, resulted in a collaboration with the folk artist Sharron Kraus and the Ghost Box label's own Belbury Poly and the album Chanctonbury Rings, a musical psychogeographical response to the prehistoric hill fort of Chanctonbury Ring on the West Sussex Downs.
