Upcoming Events
Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black – played by the Belgrave House Band
After back-to-back sellout shows here, The Belgrave House Band return to The Crescent to revive Amy’s classic second album Back To Black, complete with full horn section, backing vocalis and a rhythm section from Leeds’ burgeoning jazz acene.
Florist + Carpet
Upstate New York, somewhere in the Catskills Mountains, Emily Sprague founded indie-folk quartet Florist a dozen or more years ago.
With Jellywish, the bands new, fifth full album, Florist invites listeners to question everything — to imagine a world where magic, surrealism, and the supernatural are our companions in day-to-day life. Jellywish dares to present a realm of possibility and imagination in a time that feels evermore prescriptive, limiting, and awful.
