Lunatraktors + special guest

6 JUNE 2025

7.45pm – 10.30pm

We close out our Spring Season with a genuinely unique concert. There is literally nobody else like these guys, and we’re so happy that we’ve finally landed them.

Lunatraktors are choreographer and percussionist Carli Jefferson, and nonbinary vocalist and composer Clair Le Couteur. Influenced by flamenco, post-punk, and trip-hop, they strip back traditional folk to rhythm and voice performed with fascinating theatricality. The pair turned heads in 2019 when their DIY debut This Is Broken Folk – recorded live in a viaduct arch by Ramsgate harbour – made it onto MOJO Magazine’s Top Ten Folk Albums.

Their newer work blends analogue synth, whistles, accordion with tuned drums, vocal harmonies, and a hybrid of tap dance and body percussion, which Jefferson developed after touring with Stomp. A double act in the old-fashioned sense, Le Couteur’s channeling voices of multiple tragi-comic characters match Jefferson’s hyper-expressive performance style.
