About This Event

The Hanging Stars will bring their sixth album, *Just A Day*, to Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield on Friday 4 September 2026. Recorded at Edwyn Collins’ Clashnarrow Studios in the Scottish Highlands, the record layers four-part harmonies over shimmering twelve-string guitars and chiming melodies. Their songs touch on longing, new beginnings and the fragility of everyday life, shifting between reflective stillness and driving energy. The venue’s industrial setting provides a fitting backdrop for the band’s expansive, atmospheric sound. Tickets are available via the venue’s website.

London’s The Hanging Stars return with their sixth album, Just A Day – a dazzling collection of four-part harmonies, shimmering twelve-string guitars and chiming songs, touching on themes of longing, new beginnings and the fragility of the everyday. Recorded at Edwyn Collin’s legendary Clashnarrow Studios in the Scottish Highlands, the album marks a bold new chapter for the band, produced with the invaluable guidance of Teenage Fanclub’s Gerard Love.A line-up change at the end of 2024 proved to be a galvanising moment for The Hanging Stars. “We needed to rethink things,” says guitarist Patrick Ralla. “A new leaner approach – bass, drums, guitars, four-part harmonies. Certainly worked for The Byrds, Big Star and Teenage Fanclub.” The result is a wonderfully energising record full of catchy hooks and a renewed vision. The songs are designed to take the listener away from it all… even if it's just for a little while.Central to the record’s new direction was the involvement of Gerard Love – one third of Teenage Fanclub’s celebrated songwriting trio and the artist behind Lightships. Starting from demos exchanged between Glasgow and London, Love helped the band strip things back to their essence, ever so gently guiding them toward their finest work to date. He also joined the band for a week of recording, contributing vocals, arrangement ideas and by all accounts a mean vegan curry.Bar open from 6pm every event for pre-gig bevsSLICE GUYS PIZZA open every event from 6pm
