Burning the Clocks
We’re incredibly excited to join Burning the Clocks in Brighton, marking our final gig for 2023. This distinctive community event, orchestrated by Same Sky on the 21st of December, unites the city in observance of the shortest day of the year. Participants craft paper and willow lanterns, parading through the city before casting them into a roaring beach bonfire, symbolising the year’s end. The event offers a communal celebration and a counterbalance to the festive season’s extravagance, with a unique theme each year. In line with this year’s theme, Clocks, we’re introducing a sleek black tee adorned with a clean design front and back. This choice reflects our resonance with the community’s creative expressions and the profound theme inspired by the evolving perception of time. Get ready for an EPIC experience! 🕰️🔥🥁
