Elkyn
November 12th
The Folklore Rooms
£6 / £8
With elkyn’s ability to continue building such a strong presence in such a short amount of time, it comes as no surprise that the wordsmith’s latest single ‘something’, released Feb 2021, has quickly become his greatest success yet with Radio X’s John Kennedy declaring the track “absolutely fantastic”. Months later, ‘something’ continues to score placements in editorial playlists to the likes of Spotify’s ‘The Indie List’, ‘The Other List’ ‘My Life Is A Movie’ and ‘Lo-Fi Indie’ as well as Amazon Music’s and Tidal’s ‘Dolby Atmos Music’ playlists, all the while remaining entirely independent.
"I think it's absolutely fantastic, really really like this - absolutely lovely"
- John Kennedy, Radio X

Katherine Priddy
December 9th
The Brunswick
£10 / £14
Having already racked up some serious air play from the likes of Tom Robinson, Guy Garvey, Cerys Matthews, Radcliffe & Maconie, Gideon Coe, Steve Lamacq and Janice Long, as well as supported the likes of Richard Thompson & The Chieftains and playing well-earned spots at festivals and sell-out headline shows around the country, Priddy is a fast-rising star on the scene. The Eternal Rocks Beneath is poised to cement the place of this determined young woman in the folk world and beyond.
"A class act... The folk prodigy delivers an elegant debut, infused with soaring vocals and nimble guitar-picking"

Tommy Alexander
January 22nd
The Folklore Rooms
£7 / £9
Tommy Alexander is doing it all and doing it all very well. After self-releasing his brilliant alt-Country LP Waves in 2020, Alexander found his record on numerous end of the year lists, including nods from KEXP and Magnet Magazine. By this point it is clear that Alexander has established himself as a facet of the indie music world from his impressive and burgeoning booking agency, Pilot Light Booking, to his own musical outpouring. Alexander pens timeless songs with a powerful and dynamic voice and an evolved grasp on dense and concise lyrical design.
Tommy & co. have been fortunate to share the stage with inspiring artists like; Michael McDonald, Big Thief, Chaka Khan, Mac Demarco, Adrianne Lenker, People Under The Stairs, & more..
