Thomas Truax is one of the great rock eccentrics. He travels with a unique "band" of bizarre, self-made, Tim Burton-esque instruments, including a motorised drum machine made of bike wheels called 'Mother Superior’, an extensively modified gramophone called 'The Hornicator’ and his venerable resonator guitar ‘Hank'.

Join us at Kings Chapel for an intimate candlelit concert with Thomas Truax, the music-maker, daydreamer, and inventor of self-made instruments.

Tickets £20 including a delightful gin cocktail and a 20% donation to the Kings Chaplaincy Trust. 



THOMAS TRUAX


Thomas Truax is a talented guitar player, storyteller, and performer who crafts rich, poetically evocative songs about insects, trees, technology, love, and a lifelong fascination with the Moon. His music evades easy pigeonholing as his songs flit between art rock, post-punk, 50s rockabilly and a distinctive brand of surreal Americana.

Though he usually performs solo, other notable past supporters and collaborators have included Jarvis Cocker, Richard Hawley (“Standing at the Sky’s Edge”) and Terry Pratchett.

    An excellent talk, in which Robert Stephenson delves into its history, symbolism and meaning. His knowledge and experience was worth every single penny spent. Also the Victorian punch was awesome.

    Lawyer Naomi Ryan gave an insightful talk on some of the strangest cases in legal history in which the Fortean meets the forensic, the bizarre is examined by barristers and the strange is investigated by the state, and find out whether these hallowed forums and great legal minds were able to solve the mysteries.
