Augustin Bousfield – Anymoor

NEW ALBUM FROM BRADFORD-BASED ELECTRO/SYNTHPOP ARTIST & PRODUCER RELEASED VIA LTD ED. LP, CD & STREAMING – FRIDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2024

With super catchy slabs of helium sourced off kilter machine-funk and pop with sophisti styling, Anymoor is the new album from the keytar wielding, Saint Etienne producer, Augustin Bousfield. Receiving accolades from the likes of BBC6Music & BBC Radio 1, as well as writing music for TV, radio and a multitude of remixes (Deary, Dot Allison, Cowtown & more), Augustin is a relentlessly creative musician and producer.

Anymoor is a glittery tangle of upside down/inside out synthpop with unusual subject matter and daleside underpins. Where technology meets peat bog, where Wainwright and Sakamoto enjoy a pint of Timothy Taylors.The amazing artwork inspired by the trig point near where Augustin lives is by Kenn Goodall.

Fresh from the release of his new album, Flash Cassette brings the ice cold GTA vibes and synth runs.

Peet Jackson

28 Sep 2024

19:30 - 22:00

Black Dyke Mills Heritage Venue

Peet Jackson‘s musical influences were passed down the generations from his Irish and Ukrainian roots. He honed and developed his musical sound and production skills at a London University where Peet gained a 1st Class Music degree.

Never happier than traveling the country gigging, Pete’s 2nd album Finding My Way is a fabulous new collection of his original songs going back to his Celtic roots. This new work still retains his raw and utterly soulful intensity as anyone who has seen his live shows can verify.

His debut album Light and Shade contained 10 original songs and was released in 2022. It received critical acclaim in the music press and radio airplay by the BBC and commercial stations.
