The Return of Kibitz!
Doors at 7.30pm
After a 5-year hiatus of soul-searching and escaping various viruses, they?re back in full force with some new friends, new music & plenty more dancing! Their latest incarnation shifts the focus to new original music. Still inspired by the soundscapes of klezmer and Balkan music, Kibitz bring a sonic whirlwind of their expansively eclectic influences, incorporating elements as far reaching as gypsy jazz, Irish trad, reggae, classical and prog rock, playfully experimenting with time, texture, mood and dynamic.
Leading us into the dance are their captains: accordionist Barney Tabor and violinist Robin Timmis - expect to get a sweat on with their infectious beats and melodies on the triumphant return!
On this fine evening, Kibitz will be sharing the stage with new locals Heart Shaped Logic and Erÿs!
Heart Shaped Logic will take listeners on a journey through the human existence via sound, weaving music that is as dynamic as it is heartfelt. Brainchild of Samwise Seidel, who brings his sound and songs from an extended time in the Southern Hemisphere. Expect to be taken on a trip through lush landscapes and emotional adventures that feel both timeless and profoundly present.
Erÿs are a vibrant three-piece contemporary folk band that breathe new life into the genre - combining rich new melodies with traditional repertoire. Meriel Paget, Buffy Hughes and Freyja Evelyn work together to create original compositions and reimagined arrangements, creating a rich acoustic palette with fiddle and cello, weaved in around Freyja's beautiful voice, all supported on a bed of guitar.

Wharf Chambers stands as a distinctive cultural anchor in Leeds, operating as a workers' co-operative and members' club. This model ensures its continued dedication to providing an accessible and affordable space for a diverse array of events, driven by collective values rather than commercial imperative. It functions as a vital hub, fostering community and dialogue across the city's varied social landscapes.
Within the walls of a former Victorian pork pie factory, the atmosphere is one of understated industrial charm, softened by the murmur of conversation and the occasional clink of glasses. Exposed brickwork and robust furnishings speak to its heritage, while carefully curated lighting casts a warm, inviting glow, encouraging connection and creative exchange.
Practicalities are thoughtfully addressed; the venue features an outdoor seating area, offering a respite from the city's pace. Accessibility is prioritised, with wheelchair access available via the rear entrance. The bar offers a considered selection of craft ales and other beverages, often complemented by rotating vegan-friendly food pop-ups.
The programming at Wharf Chambers is broad and dynamic, encompassing live music performances, spoken word evenings, film screenings, and engaging political discussions. It regularly hosts club nights, art exhibitions, and workshops, reflecting its commitment to supporting emerging talent and providing a platform for a wide spectrum of cultural expression.
