🎶 Blind Yeo + Pictish Trail 🏛️ The Jam Jar 📆 21.11.25
BLIND YEO Wildly energetic psych offering from out west. This seven piece Cornish ensemble have an ancient, untamed quality to their songwriting - but their cinematic arrangements have a fluorescent and hypnotic spirit live. Following the release of their debut EP with Lost Maps, They’re already confirmed for the Edinburgh, Manchester and Brighton Psych festivals end of next summer, and with the rest of the year starting to fill up 2025 looks to be a big year for them.
The project began in the quiet and solitude of lockdown, before coming alive in a creatively explosive residency at the newly opened Cornish Bank in 2022 – a vibrant not-for-profit community arts space in the centre of Falmouth which has become the heart of a thriving underground Cornish scene of which Blind Yeo are very much a part. The band has since grown into a psychedelic carnival of sound best experienced live.
PICTISH TRAIL AKA Johnny Lynch, has just completed work on a brand-new album — a sticky, shimmering swirl of sound and slime (both metaphorical and literal), Pictish Trail will be celebrating by embarking on a series of special solo shows, previewing songs from the forthcoming release.
These intimate performances will see Lynch armed with just an acoustic guitar, a sampler, and a warped imagination - a raw and exploratory mode - expect tenderness, weirdness, and a generous dollop of goo.
Pictish Trail has toured the world as both headliner and support for the likes of Belle & Sebastian, Pavement, Mogwai, Sea Power, and KT Tunstall. He’s performed at major festivals including Glastonbury (Park Stage), Field Day, Camp Bestival, Deer Shed, Celtic Connections, Blue Dot, the Edinburgh Fringe, and every single edition of Green Man Festival (22 and counting).
