Sweet Billy Pilgrim

Sweet Billy Pilgrim were Mercury nominees for their album, Twice Born Men on David Sylvian’s Samadhisound label. Following successful shows with the Portico Quartet, they play a string of special shows for EAST. Exemplars of English atmospheric alt-folk, their sound is somewhere between earthy and ethereal, combining strings and laptop tinkering to make beautiful sounds.
Part of Cycle East, offering you the chance to catch three free gigs across three different venues, providing the perfect tonic for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Grab your bicycle, don your walking shoes or hop on a bus and move from venue to venue to also catch saxophonist Soweto Kinch, as he blends New Orleans blues, jazz and hip hop into a tight groove at Rich Mix and exuberant Eastern European sounds from the London Gypsy Orchestra at Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club.
Events are free and you can't book – just get there early if you want to see anything!
