Central Committee presents FLESHLICKER // DEAN LLOYD ROBINSON // PALE WORLD + Y GWACTER
Saturday 7 March 2026
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Advance tickets: Waged £11 | Unwaged £7.70 (inc booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

The Committee is pleased to announce a carefully curated multi-sensory evening at The Tin Saturday, 7th March 2026.

‘Skin Hunger’ takes the visceral live performance art of Fleshlicker and reimagines it for the screen.

This recontextualisation gives the viewer a peek behind the curtain at the personal fascinations that lie at the heart of the project. Like in the live setting – behind the wide eyes, wry smiles and contorted limbs – motive and meaning remain unnervingly ambiguous. This examination makes no attempt at clarity. The projector will turn on and inevitably turn back off again, but there is no beginning and no end, just the present, smothering us endlessly into the night.

The film will be accompanied by a live performance of the score.

‘Piles Of Ash Are Left In Different Places’ is a short film by Dean Lloyd Robinson.

Using the prose and imagery from the 2024 xerox zine of the same name, the film uses a mixture of manipulated digital and analog footage, along with archival home movies, to explore the theme of grief, and how navigating the world feels after loss.

The film will be accompanied by live spoken word.

Pale World’s harsh textural sound derives from Y Gwacter’s gestural painting on canvas. Each half of the duo directly influences the other in a live inter-disciplinary loop.

The performance documents itself as it unfolds.

Project Overload Album Launch

Support from Five Foot Under

Described as “amazingly talented” by BBC Music, Project Overload are alumni of the Tin Music and Arts’ Live on Stage project.

They released their debut album in 2024, played the Main Stage at Godiva Festival having won the Alternative category of Godiva Calling and were named Best New Local Band by the Coventry Observer.

Project Overload’s “bright janglepop with sharp elbows” has been compared to the Primitives, Young Marble Giants, the Sundays and Blondie, but the band take their influences from Blur, Declan McKenna, Jamie T, Peach Fuzz, Sabrina Carpenter, Slowdive and Two Door Cinema Club.

Joyzine praised their “musical confidence that belies their ages”, Real Gone called them “a near perfect slice of indie pop”, Front Row said “It’s impressive to see a young band this dialled into their identity” and Sweeping the Nation praised their “mastery in janglepop beyond their years.”

Last year the band released the “gently catchy warm zephyr” Silhouettes, the “scalding, no-mercy anthem” Wildfire and completed the singles trilogy with the irresistible disco of “feel-good indie gem” Late Night Dancing (featured in The Unsigned Guide’s 2025 Spotlight).

Other highlights include appearing at the Leicesterval Indiepop Weekender and Lakefest, playing a Record Store Day set at Just Dropped In, being nominated as Best Pop Act at the 2026 Radio Wigwam Awards and Fade Away being picked as BBC CWR Introducing’s Track of the Week.

Their second album Project Overload (released 27 February) is being launched at their home, the Tin, with support from special guests.

Charles Dexter Ward turned the sands of time into a great monocle and scoured the centre of the English mud for the four Imagineers destined to confound the tongues of sound… Welcome to the dimension of Charles Dexter Ward and The Imagineers… A mystery trip of red-raw rhythm, oozing blues from the sky, bruising the complexion of your psyche with huge fuzz- laden licks and puppeteering your limbs with razor-sharp hooks as you submit to the searing echoes of Captain Beefheart wrestling Deep Purple, John Barry scoring The Stooges and John- Lee Hooker giving T-Rex scrubs.

Sink or Swim present Malin Lewis + Madrigirl
Sunday 22 March 2026
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£12 adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults
In a trailblazing new solo work, innovator – award winning – multi-instrumentalist Malin Lewis deep dives into a hypnotic envisioned world of ancient Scottish folk music on fiddle and a newly invented, self made bagpipe.

Exploring laments, improvisation, circular melody, jigs and reels, Malin performs an entrancing cycle of melodies that deconstruct and re-define the traditions they grew up within.

Having toured across the UK, Canada and Europe, Malin released their celebrated debut album ‘Halocline’ in May 2024 on Hudson Records. A Halocline is a visible layer that forms between salt and fresh water and is home to a unique microbial ecosystem.

Malin’s unique timbre is born from the deep connection that comes from making and composing for their own instrument. Their one of a kind two-octave Smallpipe creates a whole new world of sound, captivating audiences at every opportunity.

Inspired by the likes of Martyn Bennett, Duncan Chisholm and Sharron Shannon their music is as lively as it is thought provoking and sensitive. Recently Malin has been recording music for The Outrun starring Saoirse Ronan, composing for contemporary dance and theatre and has been learning the tradition of the extinct Finnish Bagpipes.
