CIRENCESTER brother and sister duo, Katy and Rob Pearson, who have unveiled their debut album as ARDYN, will be performing their first headline show at Lansdown Hall in Stroud tomorrow evening.

Their album Universe adopts a more psych-folk approach and moves the duo away from their acoustic roots when they performed as Kitten and Bear.

Universe has already been played on Radio 1 and Radio 2.

And the NME’S Dan Carson has written about Help Me On My Way from Universe: “There’s an almost Nordic starkness permeating ‘Help Me On My Way’, the second cut from Ardyn’s debut EP, ‘Universe’. “Nothing’s gonna fix my broken heart,” Katy Pearson snaps, with a sweetly vitriolic tongue, which finds its perfect accompaniment in crisp percussive thuds and twin brother Rob’s spidery fretwork.”

ARDYN will be supported at Lansdown Hall by Andy Oliveri and Dollhouse.
