Chris Murphy live in Stanley

Experience Chris Murphy live on July 25th

Chris Murphy will be performing at The White Room Gallery Shop in Stanley, United Kingdom on July 25, 2026. Murphy is a musician known for his work blending elements of post-punk, art rock and experimental guitar music, often incorporating spoken word and atmospheric soundscapes into his compositions. He has released several albums to critical acclaim, frequently exploring themes of urban decay, memory and societal observation.

The White Room Gallery Shop is an independent venue situated in the County Durham village of Stanley. Established in 2018 by artist Steve Messam, it functions as both an art gallery showcasing contemporary work and a small performance space dedicated to emerging and established artists across various disciplines. It’s noted for its intimate setting and commitment to supporting the local arts community. The space itself occupies a former retail unit within the village centre and has become a focal point for cultural activity in the area. Messam's practice often involves large-scale public artworks and interventions; the gallery reflects this ethos by providing a platform for unconventional artistic expression. The venue regularly hosts live music events alongside art exhibitions.
