Inside The UK Ambient Scene | Ambient Afternoon in Wimborne Minster, 2026

Inside The UK Ambient Scene | Ambient Afternoon Filmed and edited by James Osland 🔗 Learn More: https://whitelabrecs.com/ambient-labe... On the 26th of April 2026, the second Ambient Afternoon was held in the Museum of East Dorset, in the town of Wimborne Minster. This place lays a special claim as a home for Ambient music, being the hometown of legendary Ambient guitar genius Robert Fripp. The event was put on by Evergreen Music, with support from the Ambient Label Hub - a group of UK-based Ambient labels also including Driftworks, Elm Records and Whitelabrecs. It included a line-up of independent artists such as Andrew Heath, James Osland, Tim Cowie, Grasslands, Pond, Mosaicist & Geoff Hearn and Soundhenge, with sets performed both inside the building and outside, in the beautiful garden. James Osland was filming throughout the afternoon, just as he did at the Woodbridge Ambient Festival in 2025 (link at the end of the video) and performing artists share what sound means to them, why field recordings are important, the role of the small independent record label in today's Ambient scene and more. 🎧 Links to Labels and Artists Driftworks: https://driftworks.bandcamp.com/ Elm Records: https://elmrecords.bandcamp.com/ Evergreen Music: https://evergreenmusic1.bandcamp.com/ Whitelabrecs: http://www.whitelabrecs.com/ Grasslands: https://grasslands.bandcamp.com/ Stray Wool: https://straywool.bandcamp.com/ Tim Cowie: https://timcowie.com/
