everything slips

A swirling, shape-shifting explosion of song.
Veering from fierce to fragile, Verity’s new compositions envelop us in the power and poignancy of unaccompanied voices.


11 extraordinary singers, drawn from a range of musical backgrounds, invite you into a unique and visceral sound world. Featuring rich harmony, choreography and playful improvisation, the ensemble meet the challenge of these songs afresh each night - a deeply human, intrinsically live experience evoking the fragments of our lives.
Tough and tender. The still before the storm.

everything slips premiered at St George’s, Bristol and Wells Cathedral in May 2026.
The show will tour to further venues this autumn.

‘WOW! A thrilling, incredible, intimate and deeply powerful performance… It really was special – one of the best things I’ve seen at St George’s – and I think/know the crowd felt the same.’ - Ben Spencer, Head of Programme at St George’s.
