The Blackheart Orchestra are multi-award winning, multi-instrumentalists Chrissy Mostyn and Rick Plkington. They comprise a two person ‘orchestra’ playing up to 13 instruments in their unique live show. From their onstage ‘musical space station’ they create highly emotional music featuring a multitude of sounds from vintage synthesisers, acoustic and electric guitars, bass and bowed guitar to piano, organ, omnichord, melodica and electric percussion.
With influences from as far afield as Pink Floyd and Kate Bush to modern composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass, they combine their folk and rock roots with electronica and classical with Genesis founder Steve Hackett calling their music “Powerful and inspiring”.
Recent single Bloodlines reached #19 in the UK with BBC 6 music calling it “Intensely beautiful”. Their last two albums both achieved Top 20 positions with Hotel Utopia charting at #13 in the UK and winning Best British Album, Best Song and Best Female Vocalist in the USA Progressive Rock Awards. The Blackheart Orchestra currently sits on six Best Albums of The Year lists in the UK.
“Epic” (Uncut).
“Ethereal” (Daily Express).
“Intensely beautiful” (Chris Hawkins BBC Radio 6 Music).
“Simply one of the most beautiful and powerful artists I have ever seen live” (Lee Graham: The Rock Show).
“An amazing noise” (Mark Radcliffe BBC Radio 6 Music).
“A life-enhancing listening experience” (Louder Than War).
“Reaches areas of your head and heart you never knew existed” (Metal Planet).
“Ethereal art rock laden with pop hooks and poetry, raw emotion and philosophy” (Music Republic).
Doors Open at 7:30pm
