About the show

Prepare for an incredible evening of original music from symphonic masters of progressive alt-rock One Iota and Celtic progressive folk titans Gaelforce. In this double headliner show, both bands bring immersive soundscapes, richly textured and blended with more hooks than a cloakroom!
Fresh from the festival stages, Gaelforce are preparing for another summer of live shows, blending traditional Celtic music and instrumentation, alongside elements of progressive rock.
York-based One Iota are currently preparing to launch their third studio album, Chapter and Verse, and will be trying out some of their new material, which draws on influences ranging from progressive rock royalty such as Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac, through to modern Americana, Radiohead, Mew and Coldplay. The core of the band features all three members of The Threetles, a three-piece tribute to The Beatles.
This will be an evening to remember, with an astounding array of songwriting, instrumentation and musical styles. Not to be missed!

Featuring

One Iota

One Iota appearing at this event
Formed as a result of writing original songs during the pandemic, One Iota began in 2020 with Adam, James and Andy as The Threetles (a three-piece celebration of the music of The Beatles). Without shows to perform, the three set to work writing an album of music inspired by their songwriting heroes and began what became the More Than You Take album. As the songs evolved, it was surprising which influences came to the fore. Aside from The Beatles, there was clear evidence of Pink Floyd, Squeeze, Queen, Mark Knopfler, Fleetwood Mac as well as Sacandinavian post rock artists such as Sigur Ros and Mew. What the songs seemed to have in common is a strong melody, infectious choruses and, of course, plenty of vocal harmonies. However, the three quickly realised that to perform live, they would need at least one extra pair of hands, and so called on their long-time friend, Phil Everard to take on drumming duties. One trip to the legendary Abbey Road studios later, and the album was ready, with a theatre show on the horizon.
