Last Harbour are a Manchester collective playing rustic, cinematically atmospheric songs that rattle and loom, at once epic and intimate, harsh and beautiful. Using instrumentation that might traditionally be associated with folk music, the band instead hammer and sculpt their music into unusual and beguiling forms. This is music with a strong emotional content, both bitter and beautiful.
The band effectively operate as a collective of like-minded musicians, all of whom are involved in other artistic work including music, photography, film-making and recording.
Band members:
David Armes: guitar, noise, oddments;
Kevin Craig: voice, theremin;
Mike Doward: electric bass, double bass;
Sarah Kemp: violin;
Huw McPherson: drums, percussion;
Gina Murphy: piano, voice, organ;
James Youngjohns: viola, lap & pedal steel, bewildering multi-instrumentalist.
