L.Y.R. Band

L.Y.R. are UK Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, producer and multi-instrumentalist Patrick Pearson, and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Richard Walters. After sell-out shows in previous years, a breathtaking performance at the 2025 BBC Proms, and following two highly acclaimed albums, the trio are undertaking their most extensive tour to date, featuring songs from their much-anticipated new album Dark Sky Reservation. Soaring vocals, ethereal soundscapes and extraordinary lyrics have made LYR shows an unmissable and unforgettable experience, from a group who are now an essential part of the contemporary music scene. We’re delighted to announce that FAMILY STEREO will be joining L.Y.R. for their special evening at St Mary’s Art Centre, Sandwich, on Thursday 4 December, as part of their official UK tour. Family Stereo is the indie-folk project of London-based singer-songwriter Blake Watt. Established in 2018, the project blends rich lyrics and intricate finger-picked guitar with elements of distorted folk-rock, alt-country and dreamlike soundscapes.
