Dave Bainbridge & Sally Minnear
Dave Bainbridge and Sally Minnear return again to The Lantern. It's almost a residency! Their previous visits have been full of fabulous music and good humour. 2024 saw them introduce a Gentle Giant song into the repertoire – who knows what 2025 will bring!
Angel Snow

The Blackheart Orchestra
The Blackheart Orchestra is returning to The Lantern, bringing their ethereal, folky/electronic/progressive music back to Sheffield. Their performances in 2023 and 2024's sell-out shows were phenomenal. They filled the auditorium with such wonderful sounds as Rick and Chrissy crisscrossed each other to create their music. It was a mesmerising show, an aural delight.
