Shayne Ward

The Blackheart Orchestra
The Blackheart Orchestra is returning to The Lantern, bringing their ethereal, folky/electronic/progressive music back to Sheffield. Their performances in 2023 and 2024's sell-out shows were phenomenal. They filled the auditorium with such wonderful sounds as Rick and Chrissy crisscrossed each other to create their music. It was a mesmerising show, an aural delight.
Faint Paint
Faint Paint are a Sheffield four-piece making melodic, emotionally rich guitar music with a cinematic streak. Their songs drift between the classic and the strange — blending dreamy textures, tight vocal harmonies and a sharp ear for melody.
