The Swell Season - “UK & Europe 2025”
Czech singer Markéta Irglová and Irish singer Glen Hansard are a very interesting duo. Under the name THE SWELL SEASON, the two artists will release their third album ‘Forward’ in June 2025 after 16 (!) years and already tour Europe as a quartet (the duo is joined on stage by a bassist and a drummer) ahead of its release, stopping off in Germany three times along the way. We were part of the party in Cologne’s Stadthalle.

The Wardrobe, Leeds, United Kingdom27th April 2025
Exit North & Support: Sweet Billy Pilgrim
EXIT NORTH played at the Wardrobe, Leeds on 27th April 2025 as part of their debut UK tour. This was a short tour - comprising of only four dates in Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow and London. They are joined by SWEET BILLY PILGRIM as opening act.
The Wardrobe is ideally situated in the cultural quarter of Leeds, offering food and drinking, live music and entertainment. Its proximity to the Playhouse Theatre makes it a popular venue for both thespians and culture vultures. The live music room is small, intimate and self-contained. Tonight, we are here to see Exit North. I have an enviable position slightly elevated above the stage, having been escorted down in the lift and past the backstage area, by a very helpful female security (being disabled occasionally has its advantages).
