The Newcastle alt-folk trio bring their story-rich sounds to Victoria Tunnel on Friday 17th July
Right Of Way bring their alt‑folk imagination underground this month as they perform in the pitch‑black depths of Newcastle’s historic Victoria Tunnel for Sounds of the Underground on Sunday 17th July. The trio, formerly Laurie Shepherd and the Moonfires, channel playful non‑conformity into vivid, story‑rich songs that move between wild hills, cluttered living rooms and the protest lines of past and present.
Their music blends soulful melodies, intricate vocal arrangements and off‑kilter rhythms to create emotionally charged worlds: sometimes bright and lively, sometimes slow, intimate and deeply felt. Themes range from parenthood and suffragette history to the strange mix of pain, joy and wonder that comes with living through a moment of crisis.
Sounds of the Underground continues its reputation for presenting the weird, the atmospheric and the unexpected, and Right Of Way’s richly imaginative songwriting feels perfectly at home in the dark. Tickets are available here.
