Cemetery Sessions Present Chimehours & The Silver Reserve

Sheffield General Cemetery Trust is excited to present an evening of bold, genre-bending music in the atmospheric surroundings of the Samuel Worth Chapel. Two distinctive acts share the stage, each offering a unique soundscape.

Headlining the night are Chimehours, the collaboration between Beck Goldsmith and Jon Dix, whose music explores a shared love of folk horror, ghost stories and the supernatural. Drawing on ethereal minimalism, retro cinema and folk narrative, their sound feels haunting and beautiful — reflecting on nature, folklore, community, and the strange sense of “otherness” that exists just beyond what we can see. 

Expect shimmering textures, crystalline vocals and uncanny atmospheres that feel timeless and mysterious. As Louder Than War describes it: “There’s a magical eeriness to the songs… We cannot help but be spellbound.”

Matthew Sturgess – performing as The Silver Reserve – creates slow‑unfurling, atmospheric songs built on delicate classical‑guitar work and quietly devastating lyrics. His music has been praised for its emotional depth, intricate craft, and spellbinding live presence.

Critics and artists describe it as “beautiful,” “hypnotic,” “one of a kind,” and “miniature masterpieces amid towering sonic architecture.” From intimate venues to festival stages, his performances leave audiences held, hushed, and deeply moved.

Come along for a unique live experience in one of Sheffield’s most distinctive heritage venues. 

This is a volunteer-led fundraising event for Sheffield General Cemetery Trust (Registered Charity Number: 1103158) with all proceeds going towards the charitable aims of the Trust. We thank you for your ongoing support in preserving this special place for generations to come.
