Gwenifer Raymond plays at 7PM

Wales born, Brighton-based instrumentalist Gwenifer Raymond is acelebrated champion of the finger-picked guitar. She has drawn international acclaim for her repurposing of Mississippi blues and John Fahey's intricate Americana to embody her roots in rural South Wales and her interests in folk horror and the avant garde, inventing a new form dubbed Welsh Primitive. The Guardian has described her as a "profound talent" whilst The Observer has praised her "awe-inspiring technique and intense musicality", and Uncut Magazine has championed her "fast-developing talents as a composer of eerie menace."

Gwenifer Raymond has just released her third studio album Last Night I Heard the Dog Star Bark (2025, We Are Busy Bodies), which has been preceded by Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain (2020, Tompkins Square), a Welsh Music Prize Nominee, and You Were Never Much of a Dancer (2018, Tompkins Square).
