Vena Portae (feat. Emily Barker) plus The Diamond Roadshow
Brunel Goods Shed, Stroud GL5 3AP
Friday 15 August doors 7.30pm

An interesting evening of folk based music featuring BAFTA award-winning singer songwriter Emily Barker with her new band Vena Portae also featuring a audio visual folk duo from Berlin, Digger Barnes & Pencil Quincy.
Vena Portae are an Anglo-Swedish alt-folk band, comprised of BAFTA award-winning singer songwriter Emily Barker, songwriter and performer Dom Coyote, and Swedish producer and multi-instrumentalist Ruben Engzell. Vena Portae’s eponymous debut album draws the listener into an epic journey of love, loss, memory and longing. From the heady alt-pop highs of ‘Flames & Fury’ to the dark, hypnotic depths of ‘Transatlantic’, this is an album that is atmospheric, moving and irresistible.

The Diamond Road Show is the work of Hamburg-based artists Digger Barnes & Pencil Quincy. The show sits in between concert and cinema. It is a travel through dream structures, events and unfoldings that inventively blend road-movie aesthetics with experimental film techniques. The soundscape is created by Digger Barnes; a one-man-band, storyteller and outlaw. Each song a cinematic and atmospheric journey itself drawing on influences from Americana, film-soundtrack and folk music. The visuals are created by low-brow Pencil Quincy and his Magic Machine. Quincy combines early cinematic and animation technology with his imimitable, vaudeville style.
