Thursday Lates: Simon-Mary Vincent

Thursday 13 June 2024
7-9pm
Humber Street Gallery
Pay what you can, booking required

In response to Byland’s Super Saga, Simon-Mary Vincent has created a new piece of work, commissioned by Absolutely Cultured, and will perform at Humber Street Gallery.

A Byland Saga (2024)

Byland Saga is new 4-channel immersive audio work commissioned by the Humber Street Gallery for their “Thursday Lates” series.

Taking its name from Jack Pell’s solo exhibition, the work is a direct response to many of the concepts behind it, inspired in particular by conversations with the artist about landscape, water, folklore and ever-present histories.

A Byland Saga is 27 minutes long, and will be performed in the exhibition space by Simon-Mary Vincent.

Awarded the Innovation in Business “Most Innovative Piano Music Composer UK, 2023” and nominated for both Innovation & Excellence by Corporate Livewire in 2024 and a Paul Hamlyn Award for Artists in 2014, Simon-Mary Vincent is an Anglo-Hungarian performer and composer of acoustic and electronic music, who has been challenging the boundaries of genre and musical expression with a highly personal language since the early 1990’s.

Thursday Lates: Gill Adams and Da Marmi

In response to You and Me in HU3, writer Gill Adams and manouche jazz guitar duo Da Marmi will join forces for an evening with a difference.  

Writer/comedian Gill Adams will take on the role of Rita Lolita, a punter from Rayners, and chat about the strong, outrageously loveable women of Hessle Road.

Gill is a prolific playwright and has written for TV and radio. Her plays have been published and won awards, including the coveted Fringe First at Edinburgh, and she’s done all this against the odds; not least as a working-class woman from Hull.

Da Marmi are a phenomenal ‘gypsy jazz’ guitar duo. Also referred to as ‘manouche jazz’, influenced by Romani music and popularised by Django Reinhardt, this genre of music combines traditional jazz elements with lively, virtuosic improvisations.
