Mercury Fringe: Tim’s Listening Party with Lanterns on the Lake
Acclaimed. Stirring. Revisit a masterpiece with its makers.
Since starting on 23 March 2020, Tim Burgess’s legendary Listening Parties have brought music lovers together for 1,366 albums and counting. What began online has taken to festival stages and venues across the UK, becoming an award-winning radio show (winning a Gold ARIA for Best New Show) and a chart-topping podcast. Now, The Listening Party Live comes to The Glasshouse, where Tim will host a conversation with Tyneside band Lanterns on the Lake while listening to their Mercury Prize-nominated album Spook the Herd.
Known for their cinematic, atmospheric sound and heartfelt songwriting, Lanterns on the Lake join Tim to revisit the making of this acclaimed record, sharing stories, memories, and the songs themselves.
