‘Lock Inn’ with Jemima & The Fuse; an experimental, alternative folk duo made of singer Jemima Thewes and Hidden Orchestra drummer Tim Lane. A hearty ride of cloud-hopping tales, deep resonance and intricate rhythms, sliding into after show dance vibes.
If you were lucky to catch these two when they performed with the Langan Band a couple of years ago you may recall the high vibe in the Tipi that night.
Don’t miss this one folks.. its going to be really special.
