Alex Rex is the "ghost rock" project of Alex Neilson- drummer to some of the most innovative musicians of our time including Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Shirley Collins, Jandek and Current 93. Alex has synthesised the twisted self-invention and charismatic death-drive of these artists into his solo vehicle- abandoning the folk rock pomp of his previous band Trembling Bells for something darker and wilder.

Following the critical acclaim of previous albums- VERMILLION, OTTERBURN and ANDROMEDA- Rex is back with his most raw and adventurous album yet; PARADISE (Neolithic Recordings).

Tonight they'll be playing brand-new songs from their forthcoming album!

Lavinia Blackwall is well known for her previous work in Trembling Bells, who released seven albums, all met with critical acclaim. She has also worked as a performer and arranger with Nick Garrie, Kaleidoscope, Mike Heron and Bonnie Prince Billy.

Her debut album ‘Muggington Lane End’ was universally well received, earning excellent reviews from publications as diverse as Rolling Stone France, Shindig!, RnR, The Financial Times, Uncut, Moof Mag, The Scotsman, and online editions, Backseat Mafia, Spectrum Culture, and Line Of Best Fit.

Her new solo material is a rich tapestry of lyrical melodies and beautifully arranged song smithery ably accompanied by ‘Stilton’ the talents of Marco Rea ( The Wellgreen, Euros Childs) Jim McGoldrick (The Wellgreen) and Seb Jonsen (Helicon and The Tomorrow Syndicate).
