Originally formed in London at the beginning of 2013, TEYR are fiddler and guitarist James Patrick Gavin, accordionist Tommie Black-Roff and uilleann piper and whistle player Dominic Henderson.
The band saw critical acclaim for their 2016 debut album Far From The Tree, and in recent years the members have taken on their own individual journeys; producing albums of their own and relocating to the Nordic region. In autumn 2018 they reunited in a Finnish log cabin to begin work on a new album, and over the course of the next two years paid numerous visits to their old writing haunt in West Cornwall to complete the musical weaving.
Now the trio are thrilled to return to the fray once more as TEYR and share their new vision, Estren.
A grand, Fashion-Opera spectacle, RUNE is a vast cosmological fantasy from the team behind the award-nominated ROBE (“excellent” – BBC Music) and WEAR (“spellbinding” – Boulezian) — featuring an ensemble of three grand pianos, contemporary dance with interactive sculpture, and high fashion by KA WA KEY.
On a planet where history is forbidden, a young girl dares to tell her story. A voyage across galaxies and millennia, hers is a tale of the archipelagos of Khye-rell and their matterwork, through transdimensional canals and sea lanes to the RUNE of the universe’s origin. This song, her story — through the very act of being told — will have consequences beyond imagining…

PSYCHEDELIC GONG BATHS
MONDAY EVENINGS AT ROUND CHAPEL
7:45PM - 9:45PM
The first two sonic Gong Bath sessions that took place earlier this month and last month have proved a real hit with our guests. With so many positive and encouraging reviews it made sense to make these sessions a much more regular event. Facilitated by Kat Bumbul of Sound Mysterium and hosted by The Psychedelic Society; feel balanced and refreshed and let Monday evenings at Round Chapel set the tone for your week ahead.
Our sister venue, St. Augustine's Tower is Hackney's Oldest Building and is a short walk away from Round Chapel. The Medieval tower is located in Hackney Central and we are delighted to announce that the tower has reopened for limited capacity, ticketed events.
AUGUST 3RD
6:30PM - 9:30PM
A restorative evening of meditation and mindfulness set inside our Medieval tower. Begin your journey with a ceremonial tea ritual inside our pendulum room, then walk through a candle-lit labyrinth in the bell room, accompanied by the unique sounds of ancient singing bowls. The experience can easily blur your perception of time, and once you reach the top of the tower you will be able to experience the most incredible views of London.
We plan to make a return to our regular last Sunday of the Month openings in time for Open House London. Details of these openings will be shared in due course on the St. Augustine's Tower website, instagram and twitter.
