LYR announce their new musical project, 'Firm As A Rock We Stand', out on 27th May. To celebrate the announcement, the band release the first single from the project, 'Addison Drifts', out on 11 May.

Comprised of singer Richard Walters, producer Patrick J. Pearson and fronted by poet Simon Armitage, LYR have partnered with Durham Brass Festival and Easington Colliery Band and will debut the stunning collection of songs live in Durham Cathedral on Friday 15th July as part of the Durham Brass Festival.

The result of a co-commission with the Brass Festival and the Durham Miners’ Association, the music that the critically acclaimed three piece have created was inspired by the incredible story of Durham’s 'Category D' villages.
