A Jeff Buckley Homage…

A supergroup curated by Bristol artist Richard The Fourth; performing Jeff Buckley's spellbinding debut studio album 'Grace', in its entirety, for one night only.

Featuring:

Lead Vocals & Guitar: Richard the Fourth Bass & Vocals: Benjamin Spike Saunders

Guitar & Vocals: Toby Stewart

Drums & Vocals: Robbie Kessell

Jeff's vocals and guitar playing are laced with an eerie melancholy; with the album 'Grace' itself featuring both original material and covers that exhibit not only his variety and depth as an artist but also the idiosyncrasies that have become so synonymous with his style. It is this style that has earned him a legacy among songwriters as one of the most innovative artists of a generation.

All four artists featuring in the supergroup revere both Buckley and the album; regarding the latter as being one of their most influential records. They bring it to you proudly, for one night only, following last year's landmark 30 years since its release in 1994.

Here for a final, intimate show as mossfellow - the indie-folk project of session musician, producer and songwriter Samuel Fox. Since May 2024, mossfellow has explored folky, atmospheric songwriting that soothes and moves "like water," drawing on influences from Bon Iver, Flyte and Rufus Wainwright.

The evening celebrates the release of 'Soliloquy' - a folk, ambient and cinematic piece about questioning belief in a god or higher power. The song, engineered, co-produced and mixed by Harry Stoneham, reflects that private dialogue with something larger - 'Soliloquy' in the truest sense: speaking one's thoughts aloud, whether or not anyone's listening.

On 11 December 2025, Samuel and band will perform a set of mossfellow's music - both released and unreleased - marking the final performance under this alias before evolving into his next chapter as Samuel Fox.

Captivating and at times cutting, Eva Penney has always been honest in her music, constantly treading an uneasy line between metaphor and truth. With a sound inspired by alternative and acoustic folk, the electronic and DIY elements weaved into her recordings and performances create a unique and warming listening experience. 

Over the course of 2024, Eva released a set of tracks no different to the family of releases she has been dutifully crafting over the past couple of years; they’re warm and quietly personal, littered with downright odd but carefully chosen samples, and are so DIY they feel like home.

Eva has been gigging consistently since moving to Bristol in 2022, most recently performing shows with her band at staple venues such as The Jam Jar, The Lanes and The Trinity Centre and taking part in the Independent Venues Week event at The Louisiana.

Anwen is a Bristol based musician from London with roots in folk and jazz.

Anwen has performed at Bristol venues such as the Louisiana, the Fleece and at Dot2Dot Festival 2025.

Bristol-based trio RWKUS are making waves on the UK's live electronic scene, bridging the gap between club culture and contemporary jazz.

Their amalgamation of UK electronic dance music influences has led to a complete redefinition of the

RWKUS sound.

The trio's musical interaction makes their live show engaging and interconnected-ebbing and flowing with improvisational prowess.

Quench your thirst with their tune 'Ice Cold Bena'. The track was born out of an improvisation we recorded at Crossleaze farm studios. It begins like a refreshing drink on a summer's day. Take your dinghy and let the current glide you around a lazy river while you bask in the sun.

Like all RWKUS tracks, it is served Ice cold.

Glossolalia bring forward a new sound, textured with deep-spacious electric keys washes, grounded by warm bass-lines and alive with percussive detail. It's music for open minds, tempted by the moments where rhythm feels like language.

With their debut song 'Polarity' around the corner, We're buzzing to welcome them back to the Galli - where it all began.

'Ice Cold Bena' and 'Polarity' feature on 'Something In The Water' released 28/11 on Seven Songs
