Following previous sold out appearances at the venue, we are delighted to announce that Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan will be returning to Bedford Esquires on Friday the 21st May 2027.The brainchild of Gordon Chapman-Fox, over six albums and three EPs Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan have paid homage to the brutalist beauty of England’s new towns via evocative and uplifting electronica which simultaneously evokes both the past and the future. They’ve been embraced by both the mainstream media (BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6, RTE) and niche publications alike, appeared at festivals such as End of the Road and Levitation, as well as hitting both the UK album charts and multiple end of year lists (Piccadilly Records, Bleep, Electronic Sound). The soundtrack to the beginning of a new world, or the ending of an old one.
For fans of: Boards of Canada / Public Service Broadcasting / Vangelis / Kraftwerk.
“A potentially overwhelming experience for anyone ever separated from their mum in a crumbling multi-storey car park” – Electronic Sound
“An on-boarding seminar for a distant time and place, when specks on the map of England had enormous cooling towers on their horizons” – Bleep
“An eerie, beautifully crafted vision of a future that never was.” – Kickingmachine
“The sound of Kraftwerk charting the ring roads of Milton Keynes rather than the autobahns of Europe…” – Juno Records
