Daylight Music - Grasscut + David A Jaycock + Moon Ate The Dark

Daylight Music is a dazzling idea presented by the Union Chapel to open up their amazing gothic venue to a shiny new daytime crowd and provide a rather exciting platform for artists. Produced by Arctic Circle.

FREE ENTRY* midday - till 2.00pm

Grasscut are Andrew Phillips (music, words, production, vocals, keyboards, guitar) and Marcus O'Dair (management, keyboards, double bass). Since opening the main stage at The Big Chill in 2009, the duo have gone on to perform at Tate Britain, Koko, Cecil Sharp House and the ICA. Overseas, they have played The Pompidou Centre as well as venues in Germany, Belgium, Holland, Czech Republic, Portugal, Poland and Slovakia. For the Unearth shows, Grasscut come replete with live drums and strings.

As well as cutting grass, Andrew is a composer of music for film and television. Of his last three scores, one won the Grierson Award for Best Arts Documentary; one has been nominated for the BAFTA Craft Award 2012 for music; and the third has been nominated for an Emmy for music and sound. Marcus is a journalist, broadcaster and lecturer, currently writing the authorised biography of Robert Wyatt.

David A Jaycock

David uses surreal moments, real memories and ghost stories to create a dreamlike quality to his music. At the centre of most of David’s work is the guitar and is influenced by the great right hand technique players like Fahey and Jansch but also the harmony techniques of more experimental offerings.

“David A Jaycock is a musician whose music I’ve admired and loved for many a year. He is a valued collaborator and a quiet genius.” James Yorkston.

Moon Ate the Dark

Moon Ate the Dark is the shadowy moniker of Welsh pianist Anna Rose Carter and Canadian producer Christopher Brett Bailey. Between them, the two London-based transplants make a soundtrack to longing, memory and displacement and inject fresh life into the solo piano subgenre. Anna Rose Carter's prowess has been witnessed before on a slew of releases over the last few years, but her delicate touch gets dragged into deeper, darker crevices thanks to Christopher Brett Bailey's reverberating treatments and smart microphone tricks.
