Gather Together, For A Story Yet Untold...

Mediæval Baebes to perform ‘Twelfth Moon’ Concert in Hackney, London.

Song and dance, pomp and pageantry will joyfully announce the arrival of the Mediaeval Baebes, with a torchlit procession to herald the start of their tantalising Twelfth Moon concert. Embrace the magic, breathe in the atmosphere and join the parade as it makes it way to The Round Chapel, Hackney on Saturday 20 th December, for an evening of musical stories, poetry and theatre.

Renowned for their soaring harmonies, stunning costumes, and performing with a plethora of exotic historical instruments; the Mediaeval Baebes will be exalting the twelfth month in all its finery, along with the beauty and passion of all things mydwynter.

The Christmas concerts will see several tracks from their new upcoming album The Spinning Wheel being performed live for the first time. And, embracing the full Mediaeval Baebes Christmas vibe, a double a-side single, titled December and inspired by the torchlit processions, will be released in late November 2025. Written and composed by Katharine Blake, it perfectly sets the scene for the enchanted evening to come.

December tells of persons ‘gathering together, to awake the flame of old, for a story yet untold,’ with the uplifting melody and lyrics proclaiming joy and wonder, voices singing, cups overflowing and laughter…

The Mediaeval Baebes are one of the most successful female-led, early music and folk ensembles in Europe. Over the years, the Mediaeval Baebes have released eleven studio albums and won an Ivor Novella Award for their performance on the BBC serialization ‘The Virgin Queen.’ They have also received two Emmy nominations and a Royal Television Society award as the featured artist alongside composer Martin Phipps, for the TV theme tune of ITV’s hit show ‘Victoria.’

In 2023 The Mediaeval Baebes collaboration with Orbital’s ‘Ringa Ringa’ enjoyed number 6 status in the album charts. And, their unique siren call was invited to collaborate with TikTok lockdown sensation The Wellermen, as part of their ‘Explorations’ remix album.

Come join the Mediaeval Baebes and be immersed in glorious merriment.

What is Ecstatic Dance?
Imagine yourself entering an open space...
and with bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely.

You are invited to move, play, connect, sweat, stretch, sound, unwind, renew, release, contact dance, improvise, transform. Be true to yourself, while respecting others in the sacred space we create together.

This is a safe and respectful environment that embraces 'all ways'. It is a practice that supports the free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music.

Our intention is self-exploration, connection, healing, expanding human potential, and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance. No experience necessary.

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive” - Joseph Campbell

You are warmly invited to join us for these monthly freestyle, expressive dance & moving meditation sessions. A beautiful evening of Ecstatic Dance with great music, and delicious RAW Cacao in a stunning and historic venue! A unique dance-movement-meditation experience to celebrate life here in London!

Fire in the Mountain Presents: Spafford Campbell - Tomorrow Held

Open your palm — there it is: the morrow, held and released. Tomorrow Held is the visionary new album from Spafford Campbell, blending post-rock, jazz, chamber classical, and folk into eight immersive, mostly instrumental tracks. Fiddle player Owen Spafford and guitarist Louis Campbell, both conservatoire-trained, create textured, genre-defying music that demands presence. Following their acclaimed debut You, Golden and 2024's 102 Metres East EP, this project blazes a trail through ambient loops, processed fiddle, and experimental soundscapes. Echoing Talk Talk’s Spirit of Eden and Bon Iver’s ethereality, Tomorrow Held is a spacious, transcendent listen — reflective, mysterious, and fiercely original.
