Sue Lynch and Regan Bowering
Sue Lynch works as an experimental saxophonist and visual artist in London. She currently runs ‘The Horse Improvised Music Club’ with Adam Bohman and Adrian Northover. She performs with Adam Bohman, Anna Homler, Crystabel Riley, Caroline Kraabel, Sharon Gal and Hutch Demouilpied.
 
Regan Bowering is a percussionist, improviser and sound artist raised in Nottingham and currently based in London. Her solo work explores various combinations of drums and percussion, objects, amps, speakers, and feedback.
 
Their 2025 release ‘Sax & Drums’ is a remarkable album: despite Lynch’s and Bowering’s distinctive playing styles being prominent, a captivating multisonant voice emerges. It’s hard to believe that ‘Sax and Drums’ is their first album together and we’re chuffed that Rammel will be the first performance of this duo outside of London.

The Sprigs
The Sprigs are the exploratory folk project of Rory Salter, who has released some of the most engaging albums of the last few years under the aliases Malvern Brume and Lone Capture Library as well as his name, and who co-runs label Infant Tree with artist Ben Victor Waggett, who will play as a member of the 3-piece live Sprigs band alongside Ben Murphy. 
 
Rather than succumbing to a romanticised dewy-eyed nostalgia for an imagined British folkloric tradition, The Sprigs create thoroughly convincing expressions of how it can feel to be human: their music is ramshackle and sublunary – in some places it is disquieting – but there are fleeting moments of profound joy. The feeling of being alone in the woods shivering as the light dwindles may be conjured, and so could the ruddy-faced merriment of being at a pub lock-in with old friends.

Mountain Hovel Circle
Mountain Hovel Circle are Lila Matsumoto and Matthew Hamblin, who play together in Food People and Weird Fields.
 
Whistle, violin, guitar, short wave radio and gathered sounds variously channel medieval idioms and slow-motion pop to offer a paean to outdated technologies. This is the first outing of the band, ahead of the forthcoming release of their album ‘Mudgut’ on Infant Tree.
