- Drawing on their shared history as keyboard players with Dead Can Dance, Astrid Williamson and Jules Maxwell, join forces to create an evening of evocative folk-infused electronics and neoclassical elegance.Performing songs from Williamson’s acclaimed album Shetland Suite (voted #1 folk album of 2024 by Mojo Magazine) and Maxwell’s instrumental Nocturnes album (described by Brendan Perry as “A beautiful work ofreflective, sophisticated elegance”), Williamson and Maxwell create a mesmerising, deeply moving sonic space where haunting melodies, cyclicalrhythms and cinematic depth collide.Astrid Williamson rose to prominence in the early 1990s as part of indie trio Goya Dress and over a thirty year career has collaborated with John Cale (Velvet Underground), Johnny Marr & Bernard Sumner (as part of Electronic), Arthur Baker, Stereophonics, Leo Abrahams, This Mortal Coil/ Hope Blister originator Ivo Watts- Russell, and Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance/Hans Zimmer). She appeared in Rob Newman’s BBC comedy seriesThe History of The World Backwards as musical director, song arranger and performer and her songs have featured in films including Bill Forsyth’s Gregory’s Two Girls.Jules Maxwell composed songs for Le Mystére des Voix Bulgares 2018 album “Boocheemish” and for the 2025 album “Terra Mãe” by Portuguese Fado singer Lina Rodrigues. He created two albums with Lisa Gerrard - “Burn” and “One Night in Porto”. His theatre work includes National Theatreproductions of “Mother Courage” directed by Deborah Warner and “Love the Sinner” directed by Matthew Dunster. At Shakespeare’s Globe he composed for "The Merchant of Venice” starring Jonathan Pryce and “Boudica” starring Gina McKee. He has created modern dance soundtracksfor Wayne McGregor, Cathy Marston, Bern Ballet, Skanes Dansteater Malmö, Jasmin Vardimon and Candoco Dance Company and in 2024 his debut full length opera “The Lost Thing” was presented by the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
