Bodys presents: Neve Cariad + Crake
Genre : Music - General
9.15pm Neve Cariad
Born in Wales, Leeds-based Neve Cariad captivates audiences with her powerful blend of emotional, honest lyricism and haunting melodies, set over instrumentals that range from indie folk to art rock. Listen here https://nevecariad.bandcamp.com/album/neve
8.30pm Crake
Crake's songwriter Rowan Sandle joins us with her melodic and (sometimes) hopeful songs about flora, fauna, anxiety and the tough stuff. Formed on the cusp of 2016/17 after a New Year?s Eve pact, Crake have since toured the UK and EU with alt-indie megastars Big Thief and released their mesmerising album "Humans' Worst Habits" on Fika Recordings, listen here https://shop.fikarecordings.com/album/humans-worst-habits
with another album in the works.

About Bodys
Bodys is a gig promoter in Wakefield, run by Emily since the start of 2019. We put on shows on the first Thursday of the month in the music hall at The Establishment, as well as other one-offs at other venues around town. The gigs usually have two acts, times are always posted well in advance, and gigs finish early (10pm) when buses and trains are still running, and you can go get an early night if you want one.
The Establishment, home to a notable music hall, stands as a vibrant cultural anchor within Wakefield's Westgate. Occupying a meticulously restored Grade II-Listed building that once housed the local Cooperative Society headquarters, its presence contributes significantly to the city's social fabric, offering a dedicated space for communal gatherings and diverse performances.
Inside, the atmosphere is defined by a grounded industrial aesthetic. The scrubbed pine floor resonates underfoot, complemented by exposed brick and tile walls that speak to the building's heritage. Innovative lighting casts a warm glow, highlighting the intricate details of the space, while the aroma of freshly prepared pizza often drifts from the open kitchen.
Practical considerations are well-addressed, with a comprehensive bar offering an array of spirits, cocktails, and cask ales. While the main entrance has a single step, the music hall itself is on one level with seating available. A cobbled outdoor area provides a space for patrons to step away from the main activity.
Throughout the week, the venue hosts a varied programme of events. Audiences can experience live musical performances, engage in themed social gatherings, and enjoy curated DJ sets, ensuring a dynamic schedule that caters to a broad spectrum of tastes.
