Ahead of a stunning concert from Lisa Knapp & Gerry Diver in the auditorium, join us for The Vibe Lounge!

Enjoy a 40-minute free performance in our intimate foyer space, taking place just before the concert in the main auditorium.

Muco is a singer, songwriter and composer of British-Burundian heritage whose music is shaped by a love of language and storytelling. He specialises in reimagining medieval folk songs and poetry in Middle and Old English, alongside original songs with lyrics inspired by myth and folklore. His latest projects, ‘Summer Crossing’ and ‘Book of Voices’, blend influences from his dual heritage, pairing Middle-English lyrics with the music of the ‘Inanga’ (a zither from Burundi/Rwanda). Muco crafts performances which honour historical and folk traditions while resonating with modern audiences, offering an evocative and transportive blend of past and present.

Vibe Lounge events welcome an amazing mix of artists and showcase up and coming talent.
