Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan at Seven Arts, Leeds

On March 13, 2026, Seven Arts in Leeds will host a captivating performance by Gordon Chapman-Fox's Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan. This project masterfully blends a retro-futuristic audio identity with a striking visual aesthetic, capturing the essence of a northern English community's evolution from the mid-1970s to early 1980s. Chapman-Fox's work, characterized by shimmering arpeggios and euphoric melodies, has attracted attention from both mainstream and niche media, earning accolades from BBC Radio and landing on numerous end-of-year lists.

The 2023 release, *The Nation’s Most Central Location*, solidified Warrington-Runcorn's place in the electronic music scene, with *Electronic Sound* naming it album of the year and Rough Trade ranking it among the top releases. The music features bristling synth lines, rumbling bass, and rhythmic arpeggios, creating an immersive sonic landscape that resonates deeply. Chapman-Fox's latest album, *Public Works and Utilities*, ventures into folky minimalism and languid ambient sounds, further expanding his artistic scope. This performance promises to be a rich exploration of sound, perfect for those drawn to the evolution of electronic music in a vibrant setting like Leeds.
