Calamity (Delphine Joussein) with support from Manon McCoy

Calamity (the project of Delphine Joussein) plays Bishops' House on Sunday 18 October, with support from Manon McCoy. The night is billed as space rock and free jazz, and it's a far cry from what you'd expect from a flute-led set.

Joussein plays flute, electronics and voice, and runs everything through a pipe. The whole point is to push the flute away from its usual angelic associations and into a ferocious mix of frenzy and introspection. She blends organic and electric, acoustic and amplified sounds with mouth effects, percussion and live riffs. A Jazzwise reviewer described the sound as 'the accompanying soundtrack to the moments before the end of the world', and noted there was barely any recognisable flute playing — just layers of electronic sound, huge bass notes and the occasional contorted screaming vocal. It's the kind of set that works better when you're there in the room than when you're reading about it.

Opening the night is Manon McCoy, a Sheffield-based experimental harpist. Between her and Joussein, the evening brings together two very different instruments — harp and flute — both played far outside their traditional roles. The venue is Bishops' House on Norton Lees Lane, one of South Yorkshire's most beloved live music destinations and a cornerstone of the city's scene.

It starts at 20:00, and tickets are £13.20.
