Big news! The elusive Craven Faults will make their highly anticipated live debut at Thwaite Watermill in Leeds on September 9th. The banks of modular synthesisers, patch cables and organ will be extracted from the old textile mill Craven Faults calls home, and pressed into live action for the very first time.
Thwaite Watermill sits on an island between the River Aire and the Aire & Calder Navigation and was used to power various Yorkshire industries in its working life. Now preserved as a museum, it will form the perfect backdrop to Craven Faults’ longform analogue electronic music. Half-remembered journeys across post-industrial Yorkshire, indeed.
The live show was announced in typically unhurried style at the end of Craven Faults’ May Day Broadcast. It featured a brand new 75-minute piece with live footage of the moors and their woolly inhabitants, and can be watched back now.
Tickets for Thwaite Watermill will go on-sale at 10am on Thursday May 4th.
