The Leisure Society + support Tom Bright

'Live in the House' presents - The Leisure Society

This performance at Shrewsbury Abbey will be the last date of a new UK tour that follows the release of the single Brave Are The Waves recorded in collaboration with Brian Eno.

The band will appear with founding members Nick Hemming, Christian Hardy and violinist Mike Siddell playing through a highly-regarded songbook that spans five albums (from 2009’s The Sleeper to 2019’s Arrivals & Departures) plus a new selection written during and after lockdown. Hemming promises an “open-ended and intimate” night with fans, following the “incredibly uplifting” string of dates the band performed in November last year. Into the Arms of Hope is a line from one of the band's earlier songs, Although We All Are Lost, taken from their sophomore album, 2011’s Into The Murky Water. 

Support by Tom Bright. 2023 has seen Tom appear on BBC's 'The One Show', interviewed on BBC Radio 2, BBC 5 Live, Live in Session on Radio X, perform at the London Palladium, Glastonbury Festival and Celtic Connections.

Tom recently released his third album, 'Somewhere Anywhere' and celebrated with an in-store show at Rough Trade West, followed by a Radio X live session with John Kennedy. Tom is already gaining a number of high profile admirers, including Guy Garvey and Carl Barat.

Doors are at 6.30pm with the show commencing at 7.30pm.
