*SOLD OUT*

Based on the local and natural history of her neighbourhood in Sheffield, Liz Hanks’ Land album explores both the loss of nature in the urban environment and forgotten natural worlds, whilst celebrating the green spaces that remain.

As I began exploring ideas for this album, I was drawn to the sounds from my local area in Sheffield. Field recordings gathered from the woods and park made me wonder, what was this area was like before the housing and roads were built?

I discovered that before the area of Meersbrook was built there was a beautiful valley called ‘Rush Dale’. Inspired by reading written accounts of this lost valley and looking at old photos and paintings I set out writing music to recreate these lost times and places.
