Or Sobre Blau

An electronic bill in Leeds pairing Or Sobre Blau, the duo of Andreu G. Serra, also known as Ubaldo, and Kiran Leonard, with Rowan, the songwriter behind Rowan & Friends.

Or Sobre Blau is a duo made up of Andreu G. Serra, also known as Ubaldo, and Kiran Leonard. Their latest record, "Making Friends", released on STROOM in 2026, moves between misshapen free blues, chamber folk and blasted-out drone feedback, along with whatever the two find between those styles. The album reflects on a decade of friendship and documents a sometimes chaotic but inspired musical exchange between the pair.

Rowan & Friends is the project of Rowan Evans, which started in York in 2022. Its core principle is writing songs and singing them with friends, and many different musicians have taken part over the years, with Rowan playing alongside them in turn.

The evening brings Rowan and Or Sobre Blau together at Hyde Park Book Club, a concert and performance venue in Leeds. The bill suits listeners who want to hear two very different approaches to song and sound, from the collaborative folk of one project to the experimental duo of the other.
