Gently Tender

Inspired by the british countryside – an indie rock band with lush harmonies and pastoral melodies – touching on folk, punk and soul

Tuesday 3 November | 8pm BOOK

A moody outdoor portrait of a band spread across rolling green hills under an overcast sky. One person stands centrally in a light beige suit and loosened tie, facing the camera, while four others are positioned around the hillside — sitting or lying on the grass — creating a surreal, cinematic composition. The landscape stretches into the distance with patchwork fields, trees and misty countryside, giving the image a melancholic, atmospheric feel.

A person is standing outdoors during dusk, with a dramatic sky of deep blue tones and softly illuminated pink clouds behind them. The person is wearing a dark flat cap and a long, knitted scarf featuring red and green stripes. They are dressed in a dark coat or jacket, and the lighting suggests the sun has recently set, casting subtle shadows and highlighting the silhouette against the colorful sky. The background shows low, dark clouds along the horizon, adding to the atmospheric, moody setting.

Promotional graphic for the BBC Reith Lectures 2026. The image is split into two panels. On the left, the BBC logo appears above the text “THE REITH LECTURES 2026” inside a black rectangular frame. Two oak leaves flank the title, with the left leaf partially burned and a visible flame at the top. On the right, a person stands outdoors in a wooded area, wearing a dark jacket over a patterned sweater, with hands in jacket pockets. The background shows blurred trees and warm natural sunlight. The overall design contrasts the illustrated leaves and lecture branding with a photographic portrait.
