Handmade Music
Monthly experimental music night in Belfast. Short sets, time to chat, space to move. First Thursday each month!
Handmade Music
Handmade Music is a brand-new experimental music night specially curated to feature an amazing mix of well-known artists, lesser-known artists, and surprise guests! All performing music from the edges of their craft.
You’ll hear ‘never-before-heard’ music, and music that may never be heard again.
Join the Handmade Music community in-person or online on the first Thursday of each month as we create this space for experimental/improvised music to exist…and seeing what comes out the other side.
Hope to see you there!

Originally trained in traditional music, whilst studying violin performance at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, he soon gravitated toward experimental composition, exploring new sonic landscapes with both traditional and electronic instruments. Górski-Brown won the Craig Armstrong Prize for RCS composer graduates and was named one of Nonclassical’s Artists in Residence (2023). Recent projects include Elephant, you shake your sheep!, Durt Dronemaker After Dreamboats I.Been a badboy:- cut me loose_ and FISHER PRICE PIPES, meanwhile, offers a fresh fusion of Gàidhlig songs for voice, small pipes, and electronics.
