Whelligan Album Launch
Future Yard is excited to welcome Whelligan for the launch of their second album In Pursuit of Inchoate Visions of Beauty. The album is full of memories and characters associated with being an unemployed musician growing up in Birkenhead. Jobcentre chat, glorious wasted hours by the waterside. The could’ve-beens, the might’ve-beens, the has-beens, the never-weres. The dreams, the reality, the hopelessness, the humour and the tenderness which was shared by so many in a town that was slowly but surely being forgotten.
FFO: Grandaddy, Paul Heaton, Julian Cope, The Fernweh The Smiths, Love.
The Choral Pilgrimage 2026: Liverpool
Spain’s Siglo de Oro, the Age of Gold, gave rise to some of the greatest sacred choral music of the Renaissance. The range of emotion covered by composers in the Spanish Renaissance is demonstrated beautifully in the selected works by Cristóbal de Morales and Sebastián de Vivanco that form the basis of this Choral Pilgrimage: Lead, Kindly Light.
These works are complemented by settings of words by two poems from Saint John Henry Newman: Sir James MacMillan’s Nothing in Vain, and the world premiere of Kerensa Briggs’ Lead, Kindly Light, specially commissioned for the Choral Pilgrimage.
Pulled Apart By Horses
Pulled Apart By Horses are alternative rock band founded in Leeds in 2008. They combine elements from punk, grunge and indie rock, to create a raw and unique sound that thrills and menaces.

Their shows teeter the line between precision and total mayhem, they blur the line between band and audience curating an adrenaline fuelled cult built on trust, intensity and shared scars. From clubs to festival stages, every corner becomes a part of the performance with frontman Tom Hudson rarely staying on stage, creating something raw and communal.
Support Acts for the live show include:
+Hazmat
+Two Tonne Machete

He has performed in the USA at the annual Aspen In October festival eight times, often performing with members of John’s band. He has also played to sold out audiences in Europe and across the UK, and is recognised as one of the best performers of John’s music in the world
