One of the best gigs I have been to and I go to many.
This was just an amazing concert by extremely consumate performers. I really hope to be able to see them again before too long.

Brilliant band, great venue
For me, the best band in the world and just as good live as recorded. Just wish they played for longer!

Love going to see The Cinematic Orchestra, they always give it the beans!
Been to Tramshed a few of times now and seen a variety of bands there. The Cinematic Orchestra are an amazing band and I love the detail they put into their music. Didn't think the sound was very clear at the start, but a couple songs in and it was all good. It was an appreciative crowd that listened and apart from the few "loud talkers" it was a great atmosphere. What made my night was seeing the energy the drummer puts into the music, can't wait to see them again!

The Cinematic Orchestra are a British electronic music group formed in London in 1999 by musician, producer and composer Jason Swinscoe. Blending jazz, orchestral arrangements, downtempo electronica and hip-hop influences, they have developed a distinctive sound that bridges contemporary electronic music and cinematic composition. Signed to the influential Ninja Tune label, their debut album, Motion (1999), established their atmospheric, richly textured approach, combining live instrumentation, sampling and improvisational jazz.
Their subsequent albums, Every Day (2002) and Ma Fleur (2007), further defined their signature style, balancing intricate electronic production with soulful vocals and sweeping orchestral arrangements. Their acclaimed reworking of the soundtrack to the 1929 silent film Man with a Movie Camera showcased their ability to create immersive audiovisual experiences, while “To Build a Home”, featuring Patrick Watson, became one of their most recognised recordings, celebrated for its delicate piano and emotional crescendo.
Returning with To Believe in 2019, The Cinematic Orchestra continued to explore the relationship between electronic music, live performance and human emotion. Renowned for their evocative compositions and expansive soundscapes, they occupy a unique space between contemporary jazz, ambient music and film scoring, creating immersive musical journeys that are both intimate and cinematic.
