The High Llamas

The High Llamas are set to perform their 11th studio album Here Come The Rattling Trees - dubbed ‘Peckham’s greatest concept album (The Line of Best Fit) - live at the CLF/Bussey Theatre for 3 consecutive nights.

Here Come The Rattling Trees is an album driven by narratives, which is performed as a kind of re-shaped, Theatre blending live music and spoken work. The piece centres around Peckham-based publicist Amy who learns about the history and the gentrified development of Peckham through five of Peckham Square’s distinguished locals: a plumber, a cafe worker in her sixties, a decorator, a housewife and a health fanatic. The narrative is accompanied by instrumental passages from the album ‘Here Come the Rattling Trees’ gently carrying the audience along a journey of mixed nostalgia of Peckham past into Peckham future.
