LYR

Absorb the unexpected sounds of this genre-splicing supergroup, whose members are current UK Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, producer and multi-instrumentalist Patrick Pearson and musician Richard Walters. Their two critically acclaimed albums, Call In The Crash Team and The Ultraviolet Age, have garnered over five million streams, and their UK tours have included major festivals such as Green Man and Blu Dot. Specialising in collaborations with many different kinds of artists – in 2020 they released ‘Lockdown’ featuring actor Florence Pugh, to raise money for the charity Refuge, and in 2023 performed a commission in tandem with Easington Colliery Band in County Durham – their memorable style always takes songs, melodies and words for its foundation stones.
