On Sunday 11 May we've got Glissando, from Leeds, with support from Lanterns on the Lake, Manchester's Spokes and d_rradio, at The Head of Steam. Formed in 2002, Glissando create breathtaking soundscapes with piano and guitar. Add to that the beautiful haunting vocals of Elly May Irving and something quite wondrous is formed before your very ears. Based in Leeds, UK, the core of the band is Elly and Richard Knox but live shows often feature other players. In the past this has included members of Her Name is Calla and Immune. The ambient and sometimes experimental sounds bring to mind the likes of Low, Gregor Samsa, Bat For Lashes, Stars of the Lid and Cocteau Twins.
