Les Petroleuses at Bishopshouse Sheffield Friday 30 January 2026

At Bishopshouse, Les Petroleuses will create a site-specific improvised performance to ‘speak back’ to the array of ritualistic graffiti and anti-witchcraft scratch marks. They will kindle the flames, visually, vocally and on assorted instruments including foot-pump chapel harmonium, cello, viola, flugelhorn, hurdy-gurdy, accordions, shruti box as well as scissors, paper, stone, ink, graphite, cutlery, pestel and mortar, things that jangle,assorted objects and other stuff…be warned, they aim to warm the cockles and fan the flames…so if you can’t stand the heat…

YOWL!!

Gill Whiteley – piano, viola,  Geoff Bright – saxes, found rants, Walt Shaw – percussion, electronics, voice,  Lyn Hodnett – voice, cello, flugelhorn, objects

SEPPINGS

Peter Rophone – voice Nick Robinson – guitar John Jasnoch – bass guitar

Appropriately named after Aunt Dahlia’s butler, this reasonably well established trio will once again construct a concept album before your very eyes and ears during this 40 minute set. If audience members have any ideas about subject matter they would like to have incorporated into the concept album then please write a note and submit it to Mr Rophone on the night.
