Guillemots
ALL tickets have now been sold for the Guillemots' upcoming show at Lancaster Library.

After a triumphant summer of festivals and four dates with REM, Guillemots will perform live at the venue on November 15.

As well as theatres and concert halls, the Brit and Mercury-nominated quartet will perform in a Cornish cave, a converted cinema right in the heart of Edinburgh and, of course, Lancaster Library.

Led by Fyfe Dangerfield and featuring the talents of Magrao, Aristazabal Hawkes and Greig Stewart, Guillemots are one of the most inventive voices in UK pop.

In addition to their full UK tour, the band headline Orange Rockcorps at the Royal Albert Hall alongside Busta Rhymes later this month.

As well as the main Guillemots set The 'Fishbone For A Drink' tour also reunites the band with film events company Future Shorts. Building on their successful re-scoring of David Lynch's 'Eraserhead' at this year's Latitude Festival, each show will commence with a selection of short films re-scored live by the band – adding an entirely new audiovisual dimension to the Guillemots live experience.
Doors open around 7pm.
