As Ian's T-Shirt says 'These Are Difficult Time'. There are no events in August and September. No music, tea & cake. We simply didn't have the financial resources to make anything happen - due to countless rejections for funding since early 2025. Full update: preview.mailerlite.io/preview/1009...

I would like to invite you for a rare nocturnal outing to immerse yourself in the musical universe of Gavin Bryars. Bryars work is more an experience than just music - from the crescendo soul-searching of 'Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet' to the watery lament of 'The Sinking of the Titanic' .

To recap, you may be aware we've been attempting to apply and re-apply for major arts funding for what seems like forever, but is actually since early in 2025. With constant rejections we currently depend and rely on our crowdfunder to allow us to move forward even slowly.

Hello! You may have noticed but Daylight Music has been on a go-slow due to very limited financial resources this year. Despite this the two events in Canterbury and last week in Leytonstone have been some of my favourites in our near 17 years of producing this series.
