Co-presented with Negative Capabilities and 75 SHOTS.
Wales born, Brighton-based instrumentalist Gwenifer Raymond is a celebrated 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.”
Emna Mâaref is a Tunisian multidisciplinary artist primarily known as a Oud player, live performer and electronic music producer. She began her musical journey in 2005, studying Oriental music at the Tunisian National Conservatory. In 2018, she expanded her artistic practice into electronic music production. Her work spans a wide range of experimental music projects and sound design for visual and cinematic works, with her cinema projects selected at prestigious festivals such as TIFF (Canada) in 2025 and the Carthage Film Festival (Tunisia) in 2024.
Harris Newman is a Montreal-based guitarist whose fingerpicking style is steeped in the traditions of blues, psychedelia, and American Primitive guitar. Since 2003 he has released seven solo and collaborative albums that wander freely across these genres. He has also worked as a local mastering engineer for almost 30 years. After a 13 year hiatus, Harris has begun to warm back up to the idea of live performance.
Following the concert, join us nearby for a secret outdoor film screening by 75 SHOTS as part of their Under the Radar summer series which queers public spaces through showing bold short films by queer filmmakers from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Full details will be provided at the concert.
