For our end-of-year event, Edinburgh Music Lovers (EML) presents a very special intimate one-off music experience featuring a stripped-back set by the hotly-tipped THE HOWL & THE HUM in the intimate setting of The Pianodrome.
The Pianodrome is a magical 100-seater pop-up amphitheatre built entirely from pianos, which has taken up temporary residence in the stunning main auditorium of Leith Theatre.
The Howl and The Hum, from York, create dark, hypnotic anthemic indie pop with post-punk influences. Led by Sam Griffith’s powerful lead vocals, they've won acclaim after sets on the festival circuit, including SXSW and The Great Escape, and around the UK.
For this special stripped-back show, think MTV Unplugged in Leith - a chilled-out, intimate and emotionally powerful music experience in a beautiful setting.
Support comes from Naomi Munn a very talented 17-year-old indie singer songwriter from Leith. Naomi played at Leith Depot earlier this year and also released her first single, 'I Want It Over Again' on Spotify.
For fans of: The National, Talking Heads, Alt-J, Radiohead, The Cure
“A seriously great band” – Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music
"The Howl and The Hum sound has depth, imagination and creates an emotive mood. Their lyrical content is like a stream of subconscious poetry which paints dramatic pictures. They're one of the main names on any movers-and-shakers list when it comes to new bands." BBC Music Introducing
PLEASE NOTE:
It can get pretty chilly in the main auditorium for an intimate event like this, so we advise that you wrap up warm and cosy with some extra layers. We will be serving some pizza and mulled wine, while the bar is also open.
