Hello everyone!
Tomorrow is looking great - Upset The Rhythm will host our first show at Theatreship, an historic cargo boat moored in Canary Wharf that doubles as an arts space.
We are beyond lucky to have Susannah Stark & Band headlining this show. Stark's recent album Minor Gestures (Stroom / Night School) frames song as a dialogue with the natural world, mythology, and history, inviting listeners to enter a space of reflection rather than resolution. It is equal parts immersive and marvellous.
Tomorrow Stark will be joined with an ensemble of Glasgow musicians, accompanying her on accordion, trumpet, percussion, and drones, conjuring shifting sonic states. Karolina Lebek and Ecka Mordecai will also perform too, so if you enjoy evocative soundscapes and entwined folk textures this will prove sublime.
Live music will commence from approx 8.15pm and tickets will be available on the door from 7.30pm. Please read on for all the particulars.

SUSANNAH STARK’s new album opens with questions that set its reflective tone while drifting on a current of birdsong, rivers and synths. Sung in Gaidhlig and English, her second album for Stroom and Night School, ‘Minor Gestures’, is a dialogue between place, history and the listener. Collaborating with experimental and folk musicians in Glasgow, Stark navigates acoustic textures with fluidity while blending breath, drone and rhythm. The result is a meditative soundscape that celebrates vulnerability and curiosity. From the responsive waters of 'Caochan' to the unanswered queries of 'Ceistean gun freagairtean', this is ritualistic sonic poetry.

KAROLINA LEBEK is an artist working across a range of media including video, photography, sound, installation and live performance. Inspired by roots within Lemko culture of the Carpathian Mountains of Poland, Karolina Lebek's music is a blend of contemporary folk, classical and electronic music. The use of recorded sounds and analogue instruments, such as the wooden flute and harp, brings an organic texture to the tracks, while layered electronic beats infuse a modern pulse. This fusion creates an atmosphere that honors the rich heritage of the Carpathian Mountains while pushing boundaries of musical expression.

ECKA MORDECAI is an artist based in London. Situated between sonic, performative and olfactory disciplines, her work is driven by sensation: entwining cello, horsehair harp, voice, eggflute, scent and improvisation into time-based objects expressive of emotional complexity.
