Acoustic Encounters - Evenings of hand-woven dreams
These evenings are taking place on the third Wednesday of each month between March and July 2026, at Sheffield's historic Crookes Social Club. Each evening will feature three primarily acoustic acts playing a 40/45 minute set each, all for £10 entry. An aim is to highlight local talent, but also welcome acts from further afield.
This evening will feature
Racing Colours - Songs and stories overseen by Jason Quinsey
Lofter - Ant Clifford's troupe bringing harmonies, congas, and a music-box
Auka - If the Peak District were a band
Auka
Auka comes from an Old Norse word meaning to grow or augment - a term that perfectly sums up the band’s organic and original approach to music-making. Auka's Celtic-inspired instrumental music reflects their shared passion for the natural world, especially that of their beloved Sheffield and its surrounding Peak District. The band’s compositions ebb and flow from moments of delicate calm to those of frenetic energy. Kirsty Lomax’s (Irish flute and whistle), Matt Gilchrist (guitar) and Joss Mann-Hazell (double bass) weave between melodic and accompanying roles to create a simply beautiful sound.
