SKINT AND NORTHERN PRESENTS…
A quiet performance space limited to 50 people, supporting atmospheric artists in an environment they deserve to be listened to. We ask that all attendees remain quiet whilst performances take place.
Someone is the moniker for Dutch/British composer, producer and visual artist Tessa Rose Jackson. Having released her earthy, 70’s folk-inspired debut album “Shapeshifter” in September 2021 to critical acclaim, she is gearing up to release her sophomore album “Owls” in February 2023.
Never one to repeat herself, Someone has taken a fresh turn with her new tracks. They evoke a dream- like state with her silky, hypnotic vocal dipping and gliding alongside gently heavy beats and shimmering synthesisers. Intimate and soothing at times, pop-fuelled and ecstatic at others – Someone likes to take her audience on a journey.
On stage Someone and her 6 piece band are accompanied by an artistic visual display of her own making that transports the audience and the musicians into a David Lynch-esque world of shadows, secrets and – at the core – utterly human stories.
“Sounding perfect in every way” – Cerys Matthews, BBC 6 Music
“Totally addictive” – Clash Magazine
“Shapeshifter deserves our love” **** – Volkskrant (Album of the Week)
Venue Details
After facing a devastating closure during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic under the ownership of a national company, the previous management of the Polar Bear worked to resurrect the venue as swiftly as possible. With an overwhelming outpour of support from the resilient community of Hull, ‘Polar Bear Music Club’ made a triumphant return in 2021, this time as a Community Interest Company (CIC). In collaboration with their friends from ‘The Sesh,’ Polar Bear is dedicated to offering free entry nights every Tuesday, featuring a diverse line-up of local, national, and international musicians. Additionally, the venue hosts weekly free entry club nights, along with ticketed gigs and live performances, catering to a wide range of musical tastes and preferences for the people of Hull.
