By the Wayside, By the Woodland

Haunted Light with Wayside & Woodland Recordings and Hidden Britain present an evening of haunted sounds and visuals from The Black Country.

Tonight we take a mesmerising dive into local hauntological themes through audiovisual performance, in the marking of May Eve; in folk tradition, the time of year exactly opposite Hallowe’en, when the veil between worlds is said to once again become thin.

May Eve (also known as Witches’ Night) takes place on the last dark night of winter, before the 1st of May (May Day/Beltane), when we welcome in the Summer and the lighter half of the year.

Hailing from the wyrd hinterland of the Black Country, double headline solo artists Hidden Britain and The Balloonist are tonight billed alongside longtime friends SWLLWS and Timothy Parkes, and will be live soundtracking their own films and visuals, blurring the lines between seasons and worlds.
