Theo Dussek:

Theo Dussek ‘Pirate Troubadour’ is an acoustic folk singer-songwriter - a nomadic, romantic soul from simpler days of sailors and sweethearts, whalers and horse carts. He finds himself in the 21st century with an endeavour to keep alive the troubadour’s tradition of serenading, whilst being ever-influenced by the oceans and rivers that call to his heart.

Theo places poetry and storytelling at the heart of his craft. Fingerstyle guitar playing, tender melodies and deep lyrics; let the music hook you in - and you’ll be a fan forever. His latest album Written in the River is a personal map of healing, identity and serendipitous meetings; an offering to the queer folk canon as evidence of hope. If you’ve ever loved - Theo’s got your back.

Theo is awaiting his invitation onto Greenpeace’s Rainbow Warrior as the ship’s official artistic chronicler; funding has yet to be allocated. In the meantime he continues to perfect a machine that travels time - his voice-activated Compass Yamaha Guitar.

“The songs…a celebration of love and joy to which we can all relate” Folk London

“More [of his] happy song[s]!” Theo’s 4-year-old nephew

“There is a frank and earnest sincerity to Theo’s lyric style…he sings with clarity and feeling, straight from the heart.” Folk and Honey

Steve Dagleish does Dylan

NEW ROOTS PRESENTS - STEVE DAGLEISH DOES DYLAN: The quintessential folk singer-songwriter, Steve Dagleish’s style follows a long line of great British folk artists, from Roy Harper to John Martyn, Nick Drake, and beyond. After a sold-out, full-band ‘Dylan Goes Electric’ show last November, Steve returns to the Green Note for a stripped-back, solo tribute to his favourite songwriter. This isn’t an attempt at a carbon copy. It’s about the vibe and verve of that defiant moment Dylan plugged in his guitar and changed music forever. Raw vocals. Razor-sharp storytelling. .

Expect the anthems and the deep cuts, and above all the songs that made Dylan both a prophet and a ‘Judas’ - timeless songs delivered with honesty and fire.

"The essential ‘man with guitar’ album will never go out of style, it’s just that some do it so much better than others. To hear how it should be done, listen to Steve Dagleish." Tim Carroll FolkWords

"Steve Dagleish is a wonderful, engaging performer who combines all the skills of the best singer songwriters." Trevor Lloyd Songwriters Circle Radio Show, 10 Radio

Songdog

SONGDOG: Songdog are a trio centred around Welsh songwriter Lyndon Morgans. He is joined by longstanding fellow Songdog regular Karl ‘Pod’ Woodward, who provides keyboard and the distinctive Mellotron sound that peppers the latest album, plus violinist Bethan Frieze. ‘Mirabilia Mundi’ was released in 2025 on Junkyard Songs and is the current album from Songdog. Over the course of the record’s ten songs Lyndon continues his exploration of favourite themes: time passing and the struggle to make sense of a disappearing world; a foreboding of things ending and a looking back at long-lost glory days. There are nods to the earliest Songdog albums woven throughout for those who know them. There’s a new producer, too, Al Steele (also known as guitarist with The Korgis). Previous albums include 2022’s ‘Of Gods And Men’ (which came out under Lyndon’s own name), ’A Happy Ending, ‘Joy Street’, 'Last Orders at Harry's Bar’, ‘A Life Eroding’, ‘A Wretched Sinner's Song’, ‘The Time Of Summer Lightning’, ‘Haiku’ and ‘The Way Of The World’ and were released to great reviews from the likes of Uncut, Mojo, The Mirror, Maverick, RnR and Americana UK amongst others. Lyndon's tracks have featured on BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6Music plus other regional and international shows, he recorded a session for Tom Robinson's show and his music has been praised by Bruce Springsteen and Robert Wyatt. What they’ve said about the music: “Ten songs, ten peerless evocations of place, people and time passing, where every word is exactly right and every line conjures up an unforgettable image or memory.. This will be the album of the year.” 5* RnR (Jeremy Searle) “A gifted, fearless songwriter …sculpting heart's-done-time melancholy, reverie, black comedy and poetry into extraordinary shapes.” 4* Mojo (James McNair) “These are elegies for art and bad behaviour that felt immortally good, an old idea of bohemia defiantly hanging on.” 8/10 Uncut (Nick Hasted) “There lingers a feeling that Mr Morgans is a little bit star crossed. It is a wonderful world and Morgans has travelled through it possessing a big talent.” Americana UK (Andy Davidson) “Mortality, loss and failed dreams loom large, through Morgans’s deeply poetic words and the simple but intoxicating melodies.” Fatea (Mike Davies) “Broken-hearted canvases filled with elusive, poetic narratives.” Arts Desk (Thomas Green) Support from The Empty Bears.

Music starts 8.15pm. ** MAN THE LIFEBOATS: Man The Lifeboats began life in a shanty-punk folk mosh pit in 2016. Skinny Lister and Holy Moly & the Crackers were the two bands that lit the fire and blew the roof of the Garage that night. Fast forward 8 years and 100 gigs and counting and Man The Lifeboats are ploughing their full-throttle folked-up furrow on the festival circuit, winning over audiences at Moseley, Purbeck, Warwick, Swanage, Jurassic Fields, Beardy Folk, Folk in a Field, Bearded Theory, Deepdale, Ragged Bear and more, drawing comparisons to Bellowhead, Waterboys, Oyster band, the Levellers, and those folk-punk heroes the Pogues. The second album Soul Of Albion hit no. 27 in the Official Folk Charts in 2022. Recorded at Rockfield Studios, it sounds like Led Zeppelin arm-wrestling Shane McGowan in a Birmingham brewery, like Jimbo band Fruitbat fronting Fairport Convention, like The Albion Band turned up to 11 with their fiddles on fire. Tonic for these troubled times.

Jaimee Harris

JAIMEE HARRIS: Jaimee Harris’s sophomore effort Boomerang Town marks a bold step forward for this country-folk-leaning singer-songwriter. It is an arresting, ambitious song-cycle that explores the generational arc of family, the stranglehold of addiction, and the fragile ties that bind us together as Americans. Harris began cultivating Boomerang Town in 2016, a time of great loss for many in the Americana community, with the songwriter losing several musicians close to her. A shift in the nation’s political landscape had ushered in a new level of cultural polarization and for someone who grew up in a small town outside of Waco, Texas, Harris believed the values instilled by her parents were not entirely in line with how many were viewing, and vilifying, Christians. As a person in recovery, Harris has had to re-evaluate her own connection to faith and find strength in a higher power. It was from the intersection of these social, personal, and political currents that the album was born. While themes of addiction and grief permeate sections of the record, it echoes hope in the face of the darkness. Out February 17th, Boomerang Town understands that love and grief are two sides of the same coin. WITH SUPPORT FROM LUCE: Countryside singer-songwriter Luce journeys through rage-driven rhythms and sing-along choruses, deep into the woods and out into the clearing. Her debut album, Conversations with Myself - a story of rape recovery - arrives in spring 2027, with the first singles landing this autumn. Recorded at Grand Chapel Studios in Bedfordshire and crowdfunded by over a hundred people, it has already taken her to classrooms and conference halls, radios and podcast shows, in harmony with voices across the UK, now working in partnership with Rape Crisis England & Wales. Live, she has the kind of voice that stops a room mid-chatter, and she loves the kind of room that enjoys her chatter. MATINÉE SHOW: Doors open 1.30pm. Music starts 2.30pm.

** PLEASE NOTE: This show will take place at our alternative home for the evening: THE WATER RATS, 328 Grays Inn Road, Kings Cross, WC1X 8BZ. Doors open 7.30pm. Music starts 8.15pm. **

GREEN NOTE PRESENTS - LAURA CORTESE: To call Laura Cortese a globetrotter would be to drastically understate her adventurous spirit. Her nature, as a musician, has always been to go where the wind takes her, settling into new ecosystems in which to adapt and grow roots until the breeze blows once more. In these travels, she has found a global network of collaborators, friends, and mentors who have helped her forge bonds and grow mastery in many musical traditions, all of which she approaches with the same reverence and devotion that she felt when picking up a fiddle for the very first time as a young child. Now, more than twenty years into her already impressive career, she makes her home in Ghent, Belgium, where she continues to do what she does best: building musical community. Along the way, she developed a new solo show based on original American folk songs, inspiring a new solo album coming out on Compass Records in 2026. When Laura is alone on the stage, the audience becomes her band, stamping and clapping like a kick and snare drum, sometimes singing along sweetly and occasionally reminiscent of an enthusiastic gang vocal. She can be found performing internationally, exploring, and exalting in her passion for American roots music.

Zeeya

Zeeya is a dynamic, experimental guitar-violin duo based in London, playing a repertoire of pre-war (WWII) Rebetiko and folk Greek music.

The ‘Laiki kithara’ (folk guitar) and the violin became increasingly important instruments in the urban folk music of the early 20th century in Greece and minor Asia.

With musicians such as Antonis Dalgas, and Spyros Peristeris, the guitar breaks away from its monotonous rhythmic role and explores a plethora of melodic approaches. The violin acts as a second voice guiding and supporting vocals through lyrics that are very expressive, often long stories about love and despair, rejection and death.

As Zeeya, Vasileios Voulgaropoulos and Ismini Mouzakiti bring a progressive twist to the songs, experimenting with various techniques involving rhythms, harmonies and flavours from different musical genres.

As a project, this is a space to explore this repertoire and these two instruments from a variety of perspectives - drawing inspiration from contemporary bands like Roviolides, Kadinelia, Monsieur Doumani and others.

Ma Polaine's Great Decline

MA POLAINE'S GREAT DECLINE:

Ma Polaine’s Great Decline are an award-winning band praised by MOJO Magazine for their unique blend of pop, folk, blues, and Americana, embarking on an exciting year following the February release of their fifth studio album, Monster Swan.

This album is a return to the grittier, blues side of Ma Polaine, and whilst that influence is evident, the final album still carries their usual “hard to pigeon-hole” hallmark.

“Japanese Knotweed” flies that flag most strongly, the somewhat unhinged story line backed by a similarly unhinged arrangement. “Gasoline Can” and “Told You Lately” hold the most blues about them, albeit from different camps of the genre.

With airplay on BBC 6 and BBC Radio 2, and the support of Cerys Matthews, the band's genre-defying charm unfolds through songs that explore the intricacies of human connections, weaving tales of light and dark with uplifting melodies and heartfelt storytelling. Their recent live album release drew this comparison from Fatea magazine: “a cocktail that is one part Beth Gibbons from Portishead, a measure of Holiday edge and one part Rockabilly growl”.

Beth’s songwriting roots trace back to her childhood in Cornwall, where she began performing folk songs by Brenda Wootton before discovering the voices of Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and Kate Bush through her father’s record collection. Clinton’s musical upbringing was steeped in London’s jazz and blues scene, catching Muddy Waters as a child and jazz legends at Ronnie Scott’s as a teen. Together, their influences merge into a sound that defies labels - part folk, part jazz, part country, and wholly theirs.

Over the years, Ma Polaine’s Great Decline have released four albums and five EPs, including 2020’s City of Love, which earned them Fatea Magazine’s Best Band/Duo award and a 4-star MOJO review. They were also due to perform live on BBC Radio 2 for Cerys Matthews before lockdown brought the world to a standstill, a moment that ultimately deepened their creative resolve.

Live, Beth has a dark humour that offers a chance to laugh at life, consider our human connection, love, and the complex facets of pain, and understanding life can go a bit wonky sometimes. We don’t always get it right, we’re not perfect and our imperfections are part of what make us human, alive, and connected. These are all addressed in the songs, and there’s a cathartic nature to Beth’s lyrics, song-writing and sound that draws the listener in.

Cole & Ward

COLE & WARD: Cole & Ward deliver a show that is equal parts craft and charm. Mark Cole’s warm vocals and down-home guitar work (with mandolin and banjo close at hand) bring sharp, characterful songwriting to life - songs that can make you laugh one moment and lean in the next. Alongside him, Liam Ward’s expressive harmonica playing (plus occasional musical saw and other surprises) adds counterpoint, finesse and fire. The result is a set that moves easily between sophistication and good-humoured spontaneity. Instruments are swapped, styles are shared, and no two songs feel the same. Ask for an encore and you may even witness a harmonica duel! "A quality and professionalism that sets them apart from so many" ROCK & REEL MAGAZINE "Fantastic" PAUL JONES, BBC RADIO 2 "Two great musicians doing what they do best" BLUES IN BRITAIN "This is sunshine music" BLUESDOODLE.COM Doors open 7.30pm. Music starts 8pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited, and available on a first come first served basis, so if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!

Lewis McLaughlin

LEWIS MCLAUGHLIN: Lewis McLaughlin returns to the stage for some intimate solo performances across Scotland and England this Autumn. After a short hiatus to focus on new work, McLaughlin is back and better than ever before, with a host of new material to share. McLaughlin began writing songs in secret at the age of 14. After honing his craft through intimate pub gigs and local performances in Edinburgh, he made the leap to Glasgow, where he collaborated with Andy Monaghan of Frightened Rabbit fame on his debut album. Released in 2022, the album garnered widespread acclaim and set the stage for McLaughlin's meteoric rise in the indie music scene. With support from HECTOR SHAW: Hector Shaw grew up immersed in traditional Scottish music, but the world his songs map is quieter and more interior than the one he was raised in. With a keen eye for the unspoken, his songs are charged with pastoral longing and nameless desire, floating above finger-picked guitars and folk-tinged arrangements. Hector’s songs echo the same intimate storytelling as Sufjan Stevens, Phoebe Bridgers and Laura Marling. There is no better example of this than his recent single, 'Noah', a letter to an estranged friend with a queer twist. Doors open 7pm, Music starts 8.30pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited, and available on a first come first served basis, so if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!

"(Dave Burn) has an ability to come up with hooks that dig into the mind and refuse to leave" - KLOF Mag (Previously Folk Radio UK) "captures an atmospheric reality set somewhere between Neil Young and Calexico" - Spiral Earth Barbara Forstner Franco-American Barbara Forstner spent twelve years in New York before settling in France.

Now in its 10th year, this tribute to the magical music of rebetiko, is the longest running series in London dedicated to this music. Come to hear classic songs and even some lesser known gems of great rebetiko musicians such as Toundas, Papazogklou, Skarvelis, Peristeris, Hadjichristos, Vamvakaris, Papaioannou, Tsitsanis, Mitsakis, Hiotis and more!

Dale Storr

DALE STORR: "A very, very fine piano player indeed" ~ Paul Jones, BBC Radio 2 "Dale is the best New Orleans player I've ever heard" ~ Richard Hawley Described by Jazz Journal magazine as the “piano man’s piano man…” and “a national treasure” , Dale Storr’s musical journey has now brought him recognition as one of the UK’s leading exponents of New Orleans piano. Inspired by his parents record collection of early Rhythm n’ Blues and Rock n’ Roll, the evocative music of New Orleans quickly became a passion for the young pianist. He immersed himself into the styles of heroes like Dr.John, James Booker, Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint, Fats Domino and Huey ‘Piano’ Smith to name but a few. His piano studies took him to Sheffield where he established himself as a highly sought after pianist backing many top blues stars from the U.K. and America. However the music of his beloved New Orleans was always going to take precedence and from 2008 Dale went solo with his now acclaimed ‘Sounds of New Orleans’ show, celebrating the music of Dr.John and James Booker. "Storr’s music is authentic barrelhouse pianism and singing and should be on the play list of all broad minded jazz lovers" ~ Jazz Journal magazine Since then he has wowed audiences across the U.K. and Europe with his intoxicating piano mastery, as well as sharing his encyclopedic knowledge of the crescent city. Dale draws in the audience with the rich history behind the music telling the often risque stories of his much loved piano heroes. He has reached the finals of the British Blues Awards seven years in succession and also won the 2015 best musical performance award at the Buxton Fringe Festival. Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster ride of the music and tales of the great New Orleans piano players, and tonight performing his new show, “A Celebration of Dr John and James Booker”. "Incredible….never seen anybody play like that….only James Booker" ~ British blues legend, Victor Brox "If there is a better New Orleans-style pianist in the UK than the outrageously talented Dale Storr, please point me in his or her direction because he or she must be very, very special" ~ Blues In Britain magazine Doors open 7.30pm, Music starts 8pm.

Folk and Roots Presents: Phil Jones

FOLK AND ROOTS PRESENTS - PHIL JONES:

With over 50 years of experience in the music world, Phil Jones is a captivating performer whose career has taken him from working men’s clubs to folk festivals, concert halls, and theatre stages across the UK.

Phil’s career began in the heart of the South Wales Valleys, where he honed his craft in local working men’s clubs before making a name for himself in London’s music scene. He recorded with Cherry Red Records and was briefly a member of the iconic band Felt. In the early 2000s, he transitioned into the folk scene, first as a guitarist and later as a double bassist.

His 15-year tenure with Hatful of Rain—a favourite among BBC Folk Show listeners—laid the foundation for his solo work. In 2023, he released his debut album St Peter’s Thumb, and soon after ventured into theatre with Idle Women, a production exploring the untold stories of women canal workers during WWII. This marked the beginning of a new artistic path, followed by his second one-man show, Snow Along the Line, which premiered in October 2025.

Phil’s concerts are much more than music; they are intimate storytelling experiences. Whether sharing personal anecdotes, railing against societal issues such as overdevelopment, or reflecting on the complexities of human relationships, his performances are rich with warmth and emotion. Switching effortlessly between guitar, banjo, ukulele, and spoken word, he takes audiences on a journey, making each show a memorable experience.

Folk and Roots Presents: Maz O'Connor

FOLK AND ROOTS PRESENTS - MAZ O'CONNOR: Described by The Observer as ‘a highly individual singer-songwriter’, Maz O'Connor is a truly unique artist. Known for her haunting, emotive vocals and poetic lyricism, her songs are most often short stories inspired by her love of literature, folklore and mythology. Her Irish roots, she suspects, inform her love of darker tales—those of heartbreak, longing and loss.

She wrote her first song aged four, whilst making a ‘radio show’ with a cassette player, and grew up singing old folk songs in her local Cumbrian venues. She went onto study Literature at Jesus College, Cambridge, where she dove deep into the history of folk song. It was during this time that she started to write her own songs.

Winning a BBC Performing Arts Fund Fellowship in 2014 (once won by Adele) brought Maz to wider attention, and later that year she was nominated for a BBC Folk Award for her first album, ‘This Willowed Light’.

Maz has since released 3 further albums, toured the U.K., Europe and Canada, played live sessions on BBC Radio 2 and 3, and appeared at major U.K. festivals, including Glastonbury and WOMAD.

She has also written book, music & lyrics for the folk musical ‘The Wife of Michael Cleary’, which won the Stiles + Drewe Prize 2023 and is currently in development with West End producers.

After taking a few years out of recording and performing to have her son and work on her musical, Maz recorded her new album, ‘Love it is a Killing Thing’ in April 2025. Recorded live to tape in Spring 2025, this record is a collection of ancient songs about the perils of love, reimagined and in some cases re-composed by Maz. It marks a triumphant return to her folk roots.

'Maz O'Connor's ace, apart from her remarkable songwriting talent, is her captivating voice ****' - Q ‘BBC Performing Arts Fellowship graduate Maz O’Connor is a real find, fusing influences from the past (Joni Mitchell) with those of the present (Bon Iver) to concoct a dazzling array of part electric, part-acoustically crafted folk that occasionally borders on the experimental.’ - Drowned in Sound Doors open 7pm. Music starts 8.00pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited and available on a first come first served basis so, if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!

Jo Harrop & Jamie McCredie

JO HARROP & JAMIE McCREDIE: Jo Harrop & Jamie McCredie - Together Again After a three-year hiatus from their journey as an intimate duo, Jo Harrop and Jamie McCredie return to the stage for a special evening at Green Note. This performance marks the next chapter in a collaboration that has earned widespread critical and broadcast acclaim. Alongside songs from their much-loved 2020 album Weathering The Storm, the duo will perform stripped-back interpretations from across their wider catalogues, as well as new material currently being written and recorded for their forthcoming album Lighthouses, planned for release in 2027. ⸻ The Collaboration Weathering The Storm was met with rapturous reviews on release. The Guardian awarded the album four stars, calling it “a gem… simple, modest and perfect,” while Iggy Pop described it as “unimaginably good” on his BBC Radio 6 Music show. Jo Whiley has repeatedly championed Harrop’s work on BBC Radio 2, describing her voice as “sublime.” At the heart of this partnership is a shared commitment to understatement, space and emotional truth. Voice and guitar are given room to breathe, allowing the songs to unfold with clarity and intimacy — qualities that have come to define their work together. This gig will be all about sharing a moment, a connection and a passion for their craft and the music they love. ⸻ Jo Harrop Jo Harrop is an award-winning singer, songwriter and recording artist whose work effortlessly blurs the lines between jazz, blues and soul, with subtle influences of Americana, folk and Latin music. She first came to wider attention when Iggy Pop played her music on BBC Radio 6 Music, calling her “a very fine jazz singer,” following the release of Weathering The Storm. Her discography includes Weathering The Storm, The Heart Wants (with Hannah V, featuring Christian McBride), When Winter Turns To Spring (with Paul Edis), and The Path Of A Tear, recorded at The Village Studios in Los Angeles and produced by Grammy-winning producer Larry Klein. When Winter Turns To Spring won Album of the Year at the 2023 Parliamentary Jazz Awards, while The Path Of A Tear received multiple four- and five-star reviews internationally. Harrop was chosen to support Gregory Porter on his 13-date UK tour in 2025, including four nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall. She has performed at many of the world’s most respected venues and festivals, including Ronnie Scott’s, the 606 Club, PizzaExpress Live, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Dizzy’s Club at Lincoln Center (New York), SFJAZZ, Newcastle City Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall, Manchester Arena, and The Glasshouse in Gateshead. Frequently praised for her warm, smoky tone and emotional honesty, Harrop has been nominated twice for Vocalist of the Year. All About Jazz noted her ability to convey a wide range of moods “effortlessly and naturally.” While Bebop spoken here commenting on an earlier gig at the Greenote noted” Harrop’s vocals ranged from raw and bluesy to velvety smooth, her phrasing imbued with both classic soul and modern nuance”. ⸻ Jamie McCredie Jamie McCredie is one of the UK’s finest solo guitarists and busiest session musicians. He has toured and recorded extensively around the world, working with a diverse range of artists including James Morrison, Roísin Murphy, Emeli Sandé, Will Young, Joss Stone, Beverly Knight, Kid Creole, Tokio Myers, Gilbert O’Sullivan, Robbie Williams, K.T. Tunstall, Steps, and on numerous film, television and radio sessions. After winning BBC Radio Guitarist of the Year at the age of 19, McCredie established himself as a distinctive voice on the instrument, blending fiery blues-inflected jazz with deep classical knowledge and exceptional technical facility. He has appeared on some of the world’s largest stages — including Glastonbury, Coachella, Montreux and the North Sea Jazz Festival — as well as in intimate venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and Cadogan Hall. As a producer and engineer, McCredie recorded, mixed and performed on Weathering The Storm with Jo Harrop, which received numerous Record of the Week accolades and support from Iggy Pop, Jo Whiley, Jamie Cullum and others.

The Horsenecks

THE HORSENECKS: The Horsenecks are Gabrielle Macrae and Barry Southern. Based in Astoria, Oregon, they are two multi-instrumentalists who have come together from traditional music backgrounds and found a sound that weaves through layers of influence that include early Appalachian stringband music, classic country, bluegrass and original folk. Gabrielle's fiery fiddle style is the result of being raised in the Old Time music hotbed of Portland, OR and being exposed to the fiddle traditions of the Southeast US through years of traveling to festivals and learning from some of the greatest players in the genre. She gained notoriety as a clawhammer banjo player through her work with the Macrae Sisters, and formed the Horsenecks with Barry after the two met at a music festival in 2012. Barry’s banjo and guitar playing range from thrilling and high-octane to moody and captivating, and his versatility shines whether flatpicking, playing clawhammer, or driving three-finger banjo. Barry has been a luminary in his home town of Liverpool’s music scene for over 20 years, playing lead guitar with cult heroes Tramp Attack, banjo with Liverpool's popular bluegrass party band The Loose Moose Stringband, and many more groups in the UK’s bluegrass and old time scene. Both songwriters bring together their background in traditional music and modern influences across many genres to create a catalog of songs that speak to their place in the evolving story of traditional music. Their deft musicianship, powerful harmony singing, and creative instincts with old and new material have earned them a place among the leading interpreters of Old Time music today.

Defiantly working-class and with full, proud council estate swagger, Hannah has been described by Holler Magazine as "Americana's answer to Mike Skinner, more Patsy Palmer than Cline". Her typically British, self-deprecating humour does nothing to diminish the emotion which Acoustic Magazine described as “arresting and wholly believable”. Hannah White is an artist who has “a wittiness to her grittiness and a sparkling wink in her poetry”; One who personifies authenticity and shows how London does classic, cosmic country. Uncut Magazine called her’s “an expressive voice and songcraft”, whilst Krentenuitdepop, Netherlands described it as “roots music on par with the best currently being made in the US”. Fatea Magazine said “songwriting from the top drawer” whilst 3 Chords And The Truth agree ”we are in the midst of a seriously fine songwriter”. “If soul is a feeling, a fire that burns inside you, then Hannah White is without a doubt a soul singer” (Holler).

NEW ROOTS presents... LOUIS BRENNAN

London-based Dubliner LOUIS BRENNAN is a singer-songwriter in the folk tradition. His folk however aren’t the field hands and travelling minstrels of yore but the repressed middle managers and ennui-ridden urbanites of late-stage capitalism.

His 2018 debut album 'Dead Capital' garnered favourable comparisons to Kris Kristofferson, Guy Clark and Leonard Cohen, and was awarded 9/10 by Americana Uk who called it 'an outstanding album- deep, dark and demanding of attention’. His sophomore album 'Love Island, released in October 2022, it has been called ‘an essential album for our times’ by Lonesome Highway..

Jaz Delorean + Logan Metz

Jaz Delorean, travelling songwriter, pianist and voice of Tankus, loves to unravel the big stage performance and revisit how songs were originally sketched out, in the solitude of the riverboat he lives on, around a campfire or on a found piano in the recesses of a theatre somewhere on the road. His sound incapsulates a life of movement and obsession with mid-century music & literature, stride piano and balladic storytelling. For years, Delorean has gathered eccentric and captivating musicians and set out on the road to bring the original Tankus sound to countries across the world, playing in cities from New Orleans, to Tirana, and most places in between. A regular fixture at Glastonbury Festival, they have also appeared at Montreux Jazz Festival, Boomtown Fair, Stuttgart and Modena Jazz Open, and WOMAD, to name just a few. Jaz Delorean occasionally releases solo albums and EPs in-between the Tankus catalogue. Logan Metz (Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Willie Nelson) is a songwriter, educator and raconteur based in Wisconsin. His songwriting spans many genres, from jazz and rock to folk and country, but it's all marked by artful chord changes, a character-centric narrative style, and a wry lyrical wit rooted firmly in the Tom Waits/ Randy Newman/ Leon Russell school of piano-based storytelling. During his seven-year stint as a multi-instrumentalist for Promise of the Real, Metz had the honor of playing with Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Joe Walsh, Jimmy Buffett, Eddie Vedder, Warren Haynes, Robby Krieger, John Densmore, Bob Weir, and in 2023 began playing piano on tour with Willie Nelson himself. Now, ten years after releasing his solo debut, "The Last Remaining Payphone in L.A." (2016), Metz is hitting the road again, in advance of releasing his long-overdue second album, the first singles of which — “Sunrise” and “Overrated”—are now streaming everywhere. After a magical time opening for Tankus across the UK earlier this year, Metz is stoked beyond measure at the prospect of returning for this groovy dual-piano tour with frontman Jaz Delorean. On this tour they’ll be onstage together, with two pianos (their own), guitar, accordion, and a vague but groovy plan. Doors open 7pm, Music starts 8.30pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited, and available on a first come first served basis, so if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!

Rose Cousins

Acclaimed Canadian folk singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist ROSE COUSINS announced her new album, Conditions of Love, Vol. 1, which was released on March 14, 2025. With this news, she shares her uplifting new single and one she calls the album’s cornerstone, “I Believe in Love (and it’s very hard),” along with her April 2025 headline tour dates across Canada.

On her new album, Rose holds her listeners’ hands as she guides them on a journey through the "conditions of love." Ever the emotional explorer, the Nova-Scotia-based artist seeks truth, in all its imperfection, in the depths of humans’ most complicated of emotions: love. The journey results in a striking clarity, and it’s the gift of that clarity that brings on surprising tears.

Rose shares, “Love feels great and makes us ridiculous. It's tiring and intense, joyful and devastating. Falling in love, being in love and staying in love are all such different things. Being human is emotionally complicated enough without attempting to relate to another who is just as complex, and in the most vulnerable of arenas: romance. Love is wondrous and absurd (and very hard). Humour helps.”

Co-produced with trusted friend and longtime bandmate Joshua Van Tassel, Conditions of Love, Vol. 1 sees Rose return to her first love, the piano. “Piano is where I feel the most connected. It’s the best partner in expressing the emotion I’m mining,” she shares. She first introduced the upcoming body of work with the gorgeous, piano-driven ballad “Forget Me Not,” followed by the slow-burning, nostalgic “Borrowed Light.”

Rose Cousins’ songwriting plumbs the depths of the human condition. Her work has garnered her two JUNO Awards (2013’s We Have Made a Spark & 2021’s Bravado), two Canadian Folk Music Awards, eleven East Coast Music Awards and one Grammy nomination (2018’s Natural Conclusion), along with praise from the likes of the CBC, No Depression, LA Times, Associated Press, Billboard, Folk Alley, and NPR, who raved “Cousins’ disarmingly fluid vocal tone has the ability to convey the most internalized feelings without an ounce of fuss.” Over the years, she has shared stages with Patty Griffin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jann Arden, Kathleen Edwards, Joe Henry and Anais Mitchell, and her music has fittingly underscored scenes from notable TV shows including Grey’s Anatomy, Fire Country, Batwoman and Heartland.

Blues in Britain hails him as "one of our finest and most original bluesmen." Blues Matters calls him a "master craftsman." His latest album, Six Foot Ten—which hit #1 on the British Blues Chart—has been described as "a masterpiece, a true work of musical artistry" (Blues in Britain) and "a future classic" (Folk & Tumble). Whether performing solo, as the Trevor Babajack Duo (with acclaimed percussionist Jesse Benns, known for work with The Hawthornes, Thrown Together, Glymjack and The Gerry Colvin Band), or as the Trevor Babajack Trio (featuring virtuoso violinist Jo Chambers, who performs everywhere from classical-infused raves in Ibiza to orchestras worldwide), Trevor delivers an unforgettable live experience. Expect raw energy, masterful songwriting, and world-class musicianship—an experience that will stay with you long after the last note fades.

The Woodgies

THE WOODGIES:

The Woodgies are Irish sisters Hannah and Meghan Woodger, whose acoustic music blends indie-pop and folk with the innate warmth and intimacy only sibling bands can hope to achieve.

Sound of The Sirens

SOUND OF THE SIRENS: Sound of the Sirens are a singer-songwriting duo based in Exeter, Devon comprising of Abbe Martin & Hannah Wood. Honing their craft over the past decade, Martin & Wood have cemented themselves as firm favourites as “one of the UK’s finest folk acts” not only on the Westcountry scene, but nationally, and internationally too. Their status, and fast-growing fan-base is not only testament to the pair’s prowess as songwriters and musicians, but as people too. Martin & Wood are two of the hardest working musicians on the scene and wear their hearts very much on their sleeves in terms of their songwriting. The pair glide gracefully through laments of past relationships, and life experiences, as well as highlighting the important topics of the day, namely mental health awareness, and homelessness. Without being pigeonholed into any stereotypical genre, the instrumentation of the band is vast, and varied. Martin (stage right) plays acoustic and high-strung (Nashville tuning) guitar, mandolin, and bass drum, while partner in crime Wood (stage left) plays acoustic and electric guitar, tambourine, snare drum, and the piano. The pairs’ musical and vocal dexterity dovetail beautifully on the co-written songs, which range from beautiful, emotive ballads, to up-beat, foot stomping, hands in the air, sing-along anthems. The dynamic duo and their musical creations translate very well onto recorded media, but it is in the live arena where the pair truly excel. There is a certain majesty about their live performances that simply cannot be put into words. It is this “je ne sais quoi” that keeps their loyal fans returning from far and wide to see these two perform. It is not just nearly two hours of high-quality live music you get for the entrance fee, a Sound of the Sirens show is much more than that. The onstage chemistry, camaraderie, and banter is worth the ticket price alone.

ELLA SPENCER: Ella Spencer is a British-American singer-songwriter based in London. A natural storyteller, Ella performs live solo on guitar, piano and banjo as well as with her new band. Ella’s clear, expressive voice and honest songwriting have earned her showcases at the UK’s Americana Week and internationally at Folk Alliance, as well as festival appearances at The Long Road and Red Rooster festival, with her latest singles landing on BBC Introducing. Raised by British- American parents in the English countryside, Ella grew up surrounded by musicians after her father started the UK’s first Americana festival. Sitting in with artists like Terra Lightfoot, Andrew Duhon and Jerry Joseph instilled a deep respect for live music and the rich storytelling traditions of Americana music, while developing her own taste for alt-country, indie-folk and indie-rock. A fan of contemporary artists that blur the lines between Americana and Indie-Rock like Brown Horse, Wednesday and Big Thief, Ella’s upcoming EP Pandora’s Box is a bridge across both worlds. Recorded and produced internationally between Portland's Panther Studio and RYP Recording in London, ‘Howlin’ Wolf’ (October 30th, Right Track Records) marks Ella’s first release of the year and offers a first taste of her forthcoming debut EP Pandora's Box, due in early 2027. Drawing on the influence of acclaimed artists and collaborators Jerry Joseph, Steve Drizos and Michael Smith, the EP finds Ella developing a distinctive sound that bridges Americana, Folk and Indie rock, while retaining the intimacy and storytelling at the heart of her songwriting.

The Vagaband

THE VAGABAND: The Vagaband's soulful, rustic approach to their music makes their extraordinary blend of Americana, toe-tapping folk-jazz and soulful rock a unique proposition in an age where music is often presented in a way that is too studied, too knowing and somewhat safe.

The Vagaband are designed to be lapped up in huge gulps by an audience that likes to have all their musical needs satisfied and their dancing shoes cajoled into action as well.

Amy Speace

** PLEASE NOTE: This show will take place at our alternative home for the evening: THE WATER RATS, 328 Grays Inn Road, Kings Cross, WC1X 8BZ. Doors open 7.30pm. Music starts 8.15pm. ** GREEN NOTE PRESENTS - AMY SPEACE: Acclaimed Nashville-based singer-songwriter and poet Amy Speace returns to the UK with a new live show, The Cardinals: Songs, Stories & Poems, an intimate concert experience weaving together songs from her ten-album catalogue with poems and stories from her new collection, The Cardinals. At the heart of the show is a deceptively simple question: what is the difference between a song and a poem? Speace traces a path through a life shaped by words and music: from learning to read at the age of three with her grandmother, who taught her through road signs and later gave her a book of Robert Frost’s poetry; through her beginnings as a songwriter in New York City and her years in the theatre; to motherhood, the birth of her son and the death of her father. Rather than presenting poetry as a separate reading within a concert, Speace allows poems, stories and songs to flow into one another. The poems become connective tissue — opening doors into the songs, revealing where they came from and illuminating the experiences behind them — creating a seamless evening of music and storytelling. It is an approach that brings together the qualities that have long defined Speace’s songwriting. As Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote: “What Amy Speace says – what she sings – she says with a confluence of poetry and honesty, of emotional specificity.” THE CARDINALS The Cardinals is Amy Speace’s first published collection of poetry, exploring memory, motherhood, family, place, grief and loss — the same emotional terrain that has informed much of her celebrated songwriting. Maggie Smith, author of Goldenrod, writes: “Amy Speace is an accomplished singer-songwriter, so she knows how to tell a story, how to make the listener care, and how to create something beautiful and meaningful that will live inside a person for years to come. She’s done that with The Cardinals, a collection of poems that grapples with memory, motherhood, place, family, and loss—in other words, the business of being human. Her voice is one I’m grateful to have in the world.” Poet Matthew Zapruder, author of I Love Hearing Your Dreams and Story of a Poem, says: “This is Amy Speace’s first collection of poetry, but she is, perhaps unsurprisingly for such an accomplished songwriter, already a poet of great perceptiveness and skill. If you love poems that are utterly clear and also strange, personal and intimate without the slightest hint of self- absorption, and above all permeated by an unobtrusive yet undeniable music, this is the book for you.”

ERROL LINTON: Errol Linton carries the legacy of Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson into the twenty first century, moving the genre forward by combining 50s Chicago blues with gentle Jamaican reggae rhythms.

In the words of the late John Walters “Errol is as good a Harmonica player as anyone can reasonably hope to become, he is the real Deal.” Errol will be accompanied by Adam Blake on guitar and Lance Rose on double bass. Doors open 7pm, Music starts 8.30pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing.

Shaina Hayes

Hayes released her debut album to coax a waltz in 2022, followed by Kindergarten Heart in 2024. Both records introduced her intimate songwriting and earned her a continuously growing audience, leading to tours and opening slots for artists such as The War on Drugs, The Barr Brothers, and Elisapie. Her third album, Take the Case of a Rose , is due out November 13th, 2026. Alongside her musical career, Hayes continues to operate a vegetable farm in the tiny rural hometown where she grew up. The land remains a grounding force in her life, shaping her sense of rhythm, patience, and presence. That dual existence — touring musician and hands‑on grower — informs the clarity and steadiness that run through her songs.

Kindergarten Heart is an apt title for Shaina Hayes' second album: there's a playfulness underpinning this set of songs that resonates beyond the references to childhood pastime. Uncut

Her angelic voice and warm stage presence place listeners at the heart of their own thoughts, gently lulled by reflection. Radio Canada

Shaina is not afraid of musical adventure, outside the well-trodden paths of her country-folk genre. [...] her calm and delicately quavering voice is equally at home in a country ballad accompanied by pedal steel (Sidewalk) as in pop-rock (Fun) and indie rock song (magnificent Sun and Time).

Lynne Hanson

LYNNE HANSON: "Somewhere in the heartlands, in a town called 'Americana USA,' nestles a particular variety of singer songwriter. Someone who views a melodic sensibility through the bottom of a whiskey glass. Canadian songstress Lynne Hanson could run for mayor of that town." R2 Magazine Too tough for folk and too blues-influenced for country, Lynne Hanson’s brand of porch music with a little red dirt can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. Her hard living music has garnered her the nickname “Canada’s own Queen of Americana.” And while her deep, bluesy croon has drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, it’s the poetry of her lyrics that really sets her apart. “A contemporary blend of both mainstream hip & retro musicality … Her voice potentiates popular music with modern sensitivity that’s effective & assertive … Lynne Hanson is that good an artist.” - Americana Highways A two-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner, Hanson is known for her high energy, roots guitar driven live performances. She has an uncanny way of connecting with her audience with an authenticity that is as entertaining as it is disarming. “On stage Hanson has a wonderful charm and disarming sense of humour … a spontaneity and honesty that enchants.” - Americana UK Hanson has released ten studio albums along with two books of poetry over her 20 year solo career. Along the way she’s won two Canadian Folk Music Awards, as well as the Colleen Peterson songwriting award. She’s toured extensively across North America, Europe and the UK, and appeared at leading international festivals including Take Root (Netherlands), Glasgow Americana (Scotland), Maverick Festival (UK), Kerrville Folk Festival (US), and Winnipeg Folk Festival (Canada). She has also toured as support for Grammy-nominated artists like Gretchen Peters, Steve Forbert and Albert Lee. “That performance from Lynne Hanson was worth waiting for. It was different, yet mightily satisfying for those hooked in the magnetic appeal of songwriters sharing their valued craft. It underlined the versatility of this Canadian who you feel could grace any arena in a folk, country and rock scene.” - Three Chords And The Truth (UK) Lynne Hanson released her tenth album Just A Poet in May 2024. “Just A Poet” was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Album of the Year.

Tommy Ashby

TOMMY ASHBY: Prolific Scottish songsmith Tommy Ashby has spent his career refining a natural talent for capturing the innate beauty of everyday moments in a dulcet combination of ethereal sonics and hushed vocals. His fascination with the human relationship to sound saw him complete a PhD in Psychoacoustics, knowledge of which Tommy deftly utilises throughout his songcraft to illuminate the beautiful minutia of life, nature, and relationships. As his first self-produced effort, sophomore album ‘Mantis’ is understandably Tommy’s most introspective and personal work yet. A self-confessed over-thinker, Tommy uses the record to examine the anxieties and fears that arise through isolation and how our emotional connections and relationships to others can support us at our most vulnerable moments “The album name Mantis comes from the song of the same name, which is about the fear of making a real connection with someone. I liked the weird metaphor of a mantis, known for decapitating its potential mate. The idea is that we exaggerate the risks, and they hold us from doing what we should. The worry that if we put ourselves out there, our flaws will be on display for all to see. But opening ourselves up, even only a tiny bit, is the only way we make connections with others. This song moves from the fear of being rejected to the happiness that comes with connection.” ‘Mantis’ arrives Friday 6th June 2025 via Dance To The Radio. Tommy’s previous works have amassed over 30 million streams across Spotify and seen him tour with the likes of Skinny Living, Banners, Tom Speight, Turin Brakes, Luke Sital-Singh, Jamie Lawson, and Nina Nesbitt as well as receiving continued support across Spotify Editorial mood playlists, and a multitude of syncs at mainstream media including Grey’s Anatomy, Atypical (Netflix), Love Island, The Innocents (Netflix), Found (NBC) and across various placements on advertising and film.

Dom Glynn & His Sunday Best

DOM GLYNN

‘What do you get when you have an Englishman from Birmingham, UK, playing the sort of vintage two-steppin' tunes that country's founding fathers would be proud of? The unique and intriguing sound of Dom Glynn & His Sunday Best.’ – (Holler.) Putting in the hours - that’s how the greats crack the code. It’s a tried-and-true path, but one that demands total dedication and serious talent. Dom Glynn has both in spades. In his early twenties, this singing, guitar-slinging Brit was already living for and off music, playing endless sets of songs by his American heroes in music bars and venues in and around London. He’s since mastered the canon of classic country music and has been inspired to write his own future standards. Now, armed with those songs and his band His Sunday Best, in 2025 he’s been hitting the road for the first time, with a tour of The Netherlands and Germany in July and a UK tour in September. Now 28, Glynn already has several releases under his belt, and a new album is set to drop on August 22nd. His songwriting echoes the spirit of legends like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Sr., while his guitar work recalls the elegant fingerpicking of Mississippi John Hurt and Doc Watson. Years of constant performing have shaped him into a seasoned and compelling live act. And since 2025, he’s had an outstanding band to back him up: telecaster wizard Laurence Kingston, dynamic drummer Roman Xavier, and tight-as-a-drum bassist and harmony vocalist Jack Trouble. Dom Glynn & His Sunday Best bring a sound and vibe that get people drinking, dancing, and simply having a great time. They've already proven it at major UK and EU festivals like Maverick, Ramblin’ Roots Revue, Black Deer, Rotterdam Bluegrass and Static Roots. Seeing them live is the way to truly experience their Honky Tonk magic. In autumn of this year, Dom and the band will record and release their first live album. This will feature songs from this year’s album as well as new, unreleased material, all done with a new sound. Dom Glynn & His Sunday Best have gone electric, trading in their fiddles for telecasters. The new record will capture the raw magic, charisma and high-energy of the band’s live set and allow listeners to be one step closer to being in the same room as London’s finest Honky Tonk band.

Folk and Roots Presents: Greg Brice Duo

FOLK AND ROOTS PRESENTS - GREG BRICE TRIO: Back when Greg Brice played the pubs, clubs and bars of the West Midlands he’d often find some of the toughest audiences you could imagine hanging on his every word within a few bars. His intricate fingerstyle guitar and strident electric slide connected in the raw and immediate way that only proper roots music can. And that voice – clear as a bell, powerful and pure.

Now, in the hush of the UK’s Blues and Americana clubs it’s the quality of his songwriting that’s capturing people’s imagination. Within just days of launching his debut album crowdfunding campaign, those lucky enough to have already discovered him came out in force. They knew something that the rest of the UK Blues scene will soon realise – that Greg Brice is a proper talent.

Anne-Marie Sanderson

ANNE-MARIE SANDERSON: Anne-Marie Sanderson is an artist whose music is at once earthy and airy, grounded yet ethereal. Drawing inspiration from nature, literature and the complexities and contradictions of modern life, Sanderson’s haunting melodies and poetic lyrics mesmerise and enchant. Corydalis, Anne-Marie’s new album (out 7th Jan 2027) marks a new phase in the songwriter’s artistic evolution. By turns mysterious, introspective, yearning and ultimately uplifting, this cinematic collection of piano-led songs and instrumentals opens up a new sound-world, distinct from the delicate acoustic guitar that has underpinned her previous work. Corydalis (named after the delicate yet resilient plant found growing in cracks in walls) shines a light on the power of little things, and the glimmers to be found in unexpected places. Anne-Marie will be touring the album in 2027, performing solo in intimate venues and playing songs from her back catalogue alongside the new album. She brings an intimate and atmospheric set, blending the delicate introspection of Nick Drake with the expressive, ethereal tones of Kate Bush. Accompanying herself on guitar and piano, her performances are quietly powerful and deeply moving. Having cut her teeth on London's open mic scene in the late 00s, then honed her craft for several years in the songwriters' haven of Portland, Oregon, Anne-Marie now resides in her native Cumbria. Her music has been played on regional and national BBC radio, and she has toured in the UK, Europe and USA. "real substance and quality" – Tom Robinson “articulate and ethereal…" – Rocking Magpie “absolutely wonderful… I can recommend Anne-Marie’s live show, it’s fantastic” – BBC Introducing “Old Light is a beautiful twisting journey through a dreamy landscape, packed with seductive harmonies and ethereal lilting vocals…Uplifting and gentle, the whole album glows with warm shimmering light…” NARC Magazine, 4.5/5 Doors open 7.30pm.

Folk and Roots Presents: Zoë Nicol (Matinée Show)

FOLK AND ROOTS PRESENTS - ZOË NICOL:

Zoë Nicol believes songs can do more than tell stories; they can also build worlds. Her creative life is shaped by a fascination with both the landscapes around us and those within us. Drawn to ideas of sustainability, mindful living and environmental responsibility, she is equally interested in the inner worlds we inhabit: the stories we tell ourselves, the experiences that shape us, and the ways creativity can help us make sense of them. Inspired by the conversations found in podcasts such as On Purpose, Feel Better, Live More and The Minimalists, Zoë's songwriting is informed by a curiosity about what helps people, communities and the wider world flourish.

A singer-songwriter from Kent with Liverpudlian and Irish roots, Zoë is best known for her work with Worry Dolls, the acclaimed duo who performed alongside artists including Robert Plant and Mumford & Sons, were nominated for Single of the Year at the AMA Awards, and received The Drake YolanDa Award. Career highlights include Bob Harris' Under The Apple Tree sessions, Glastonbury Festival and performances on the main stage at Cambridge Folk Festival.

Whether through songs, stories, therapy, conversation or the quiet practices that shape everyday life, Zoë's work is guided by the same question: how can we care more deeply for the world around us, and for the worlds within us?

That Was Then This Is Now (Limefield 2013) ‘…unpretentious, classy…much better than it has any right to be.

Folk & Roots Presents: Terra Spencer

FOLK AND ROOTS PRESENTS: TERRA SPENCER Bad ideas, VCRs, crumbling factories, hairy dogs, questionable tattoos…all are fair game for funeral director-turned-songwriter (and newly-minted 2026 Canadian Folk Music English Songwriter of the Year) Terra Spencer. And the songs are good ones, judging from the accolades her four albums have received, and the caliber of collaborators like Matt Andersen, Dave Gunning, and David Francey, who welcomed Terra as a co-writer and performer on his JUNO-winning album ‘The Breath Between’. Cinematic storytelling is a hallmark of many great Canadian folk songwriters, but in Terra’s case, it is charged with the wood-paneled ’70s warmth of Elton John, Karen Carpenter, and Jackson Browne. As a fun-loving and fearless solo performer, Terra has played some of Canada’s most renowned festival stages, including Mariposa, Stan Rogers Folk Festival, and Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, where her Maritime waltz “Lunenburg Moon” has become an unofficial anthem. Think Steve Poltz and Carole King’s East Coast cousin.

Terra grew up as an only child on the banks of the Avon River with the world’s highest tides, surrounded by country music. As a shy teen, she took refuge in her grandparents’ basement where she played Broadway show tunes on a battleship upright piano, learning guitar in secret from her granddad’s Chet Atkins records. Her passion for songwriting came much later, after being hired on as a backup singer while scooping ice cream at a festival by country performer Ryan Cook. Their travels set the stage for Terra’s solo debut in 2018, blooming into a career that quickly overshadowed her funeral ambitions, taking her across Canada and to the US, UK, and Germany.

Her solo fourth album ‘Sunset’ was named the 2024 Penguin Eggs Album of the Year (alongside Julian Taylor’s ‘Pathways’) and 2025 Music Nova Scotia Folk/Roots Recording of the Year, and garnered her a CFMA nomination for 2026 Solo Artist of the Year. It features guests from East to West, including Matt Andersen and Stephen Fearing. Although her butterscotch voice, deft fingerstyle guitar, and gospel-charged piano make her a formidable musician, it’s her onstage ease, spirited spontaneity, and crackling East Coast wit that make each show feel like a knee-to-knee conversation in a room of 5 or 500, on either side of the Atlantic. “The real deal.” – Ron Sexsmith

Dan Bettridge

Dan Bettridge: Known for intimate, disarmingly funny performances and quietly devastating songs, Welsh/Irish Dan Bettridge isn’t your typical Folk/Americana singer-songwriter. Balancing melancholy with warmth and unexpected humour, Bettridge has gently found his way into hearts around the world racking up millions of streams. Personally selected by ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris as his favourite new artist and named Acoustic Magazine’s ‘Next Big Thing’, he has had continuous support from BBC Radio, an appearance in Rolling Stone, four invites to the famous SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, and two sold out nights at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire with Band Of Horses. “Everything he touches turns to gold” - Bronwen Lewis, BBC Radio presenter & singer Having spent time co-writing for other artists from Nashville to London, this 2027 UK tour sees Bettridge return with his own, much anticipated sophomore album, ‘Everything, absolutely’. An evolution that saw him collaborate with some of the UK’s best folk/bluegrass musicians, including Rhodri Brooks on pedal steel, David Grubb on strings and Darren Eedens on banjo. The album also includes a feature from multi-platinum, award winning indie-folk artist Novo Amor. “Feels like a soft hand reaching through the dark” - Atwood Magazine While charming audiences worldwide, Bettridge’s M.O. has stayed true to his humble beginnings - creating a space where stories, connection and song are the star of the show. His shows are quiet revelations that will stay with you long after the last note has rung out. For fans of: Ray LaMontagne, Josiah and the Bonnevilles, Chris Stapleton Doors open 7pm, Music starts 8.30pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing.

Green Note Presents: Jim White

** PLEASE NOTE: This show will take place at our alternative home for the evening: ST PANCRAS OLD CHURCH, Pancras Road, Camden Town, London NW1 1UL. Doors open 7.30pm. Music starts 8.15pm. ** GREEN NOTE PRESENTS - JIM WHITE: Jim White gets around. When he’s not releasing his own critically acclaimed solo albums he splits time producing records for other songwriters, exhibiting his visual art in galleries and museums across the US and Europe and publishing award winning fiction. White (born Mike Pratt) has released seven eclectic, totally uncategorizable albums plus another six even stranger side projects. Known for his intricately layered, highly cinematic production values, numerous songs from White’s back catalog have appeared both in film and television. His Primus-esque Word-Mule was featured in the pivotal Heisenger episode of Breaking Bad, and more recently his song Static on the Radio, a duet with Aimee Mann, landed in the closing credits of the feature film El Camino. UK fans may recognize White as the narrator and defacto tour guide for the award winning BBC documentary, Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus, a road movie set in the rural South, which the LA Times described as “Decidedly strange, delightfully demented.” Prior to becoming a musician White led an aimless, diverse life, working countless menial labor jobs: dishwasher, landscaper, lifeguard, cook, surfboard laminator, road builder, culminating with thirteen long years driving a taxi cab in New York City (where he met David Byrne and signed to Byrne’s Luaka Bop record label). White has just completed a memoir, Incidental Contact, which Mojo magazine described as being “Unputdownable”. Based on a series of uncanny coincidences that befell him during his days driving that taxi in New York City. Two chapters of Incidental Contact, The Bottom and Superwhite, have been published in the literary music journal Radio Silence, with Superwhite being awarded a Pushcart Prize. White was a pro surfer. He served as literary commentator for the National Endowment of the Arts. He was a European fashion model. Samuel Beckett once played a practical joke on him. There’s lots more non linear information that doesn’t really fit the usual bio format. But that’s Jim—he gets around. WITH SUPPORT FROM BEN DE LA COUR: “A friend took me to see Ben de la Cour at a little hole-in-the-wall in Nashville. It didn’t take long to realize I was in the presence of greatness. He has much to say, and knows how to say it as only a true poet can. You owe it to yourself to check him out. He is important. You need this bright young talent now more than ever. We all need Ben de la Cour.” – Lucinda Williams A natural storyteller, Ben de la Cour’s visceral songwriting grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go. Weaving evocative stories of desperate characters with his signature “Americanoir” sound, de la Cour shines a glaring light on the human condition.

Nothing in Rambling + Kaspar and Lucy

NOTHING IN RAMBLING + KASPAR & LUCY: Nothing in Rambling draw influence from the 1920s and 30s delta and Louisiana blues, channelling the passion and playfulness of the great performers from that era. Kaspar and Lucy’s sound is rooted in the raw Mississippi Hill Country blues style and the powerful hypnotic grooves of the juke joint. Together they’ll be raising hell, taking you to church and giving you an unforgettable night of primal blues. KASPAR & LUCY: A collaboration between Kaspar Berry Rapkin & Lucy Piper sees two established musicians from the UK's Blues scene come together to play the upbeat Hill Country & Delta Blues from the land where they first met, Clarksdale, Mississippi. Dedicated to capturing the raw hypnotic energy you'd find in a traditional 'Juke Joint', both musicians are devoted to keeping this unique music alive, with an added fresh edge. Hailing from St Albans and Exeter, Kaspar plays regularly on the London Blues circuit as well as at many of the leading UK's Blues Festivals, both solo and with his band 'The Swamp Dogs', whilst Lucy is well known on the scene for her role as a Blues session Drummer, and has played with the likes of Ben Waters, Mississippi Macdonald, and James Oliver, as well as many American Blues artists out in the Delta, such as Watermelon Slim and Robert Kimbrough Sr. Her late father was Blues Musician & Music journalist Julian Piper, who she also played with, in his band 'Junkyard Angels'. Kaspar and Lucy believe that the genre deserves a larger audience and are determined to showcase its power, authenticity, and irresistible groove to new listeners and dedicated blues fans alike. NOTHING IN RAMBLING Sister Suzie and Andy Twyman take you on a musical journey through Mississippi and Louisiana performing music by artists such as Memphis Minnie, Blind Boy Fuller and Elmore James. Guided by a mutual passion for early blues, they evoke the playfulness, power and soul of the music and the people who created it. 2024 saw the release of their highly acclaimed debut album ‘Live at Bush Hall’, which received airplay on the Cerys Matthews BBC Radio 2 Blues Show. In 2024 they've played as Nothing in Rambling at Red Rooster Festival, Upton Blues festival as well as Glastonbury. They’ve both enjoyed success as separate artists before working together. Suzie sings and rocks the blues with her band Sister Suzie and The Right Band. Andy performs a lauded one man band show, blending blues with comedy, and also plays guitar in Dana Gillespie’s London Blues Band. Their chemistry brings out the mischief and humour in songs of sexual liberation. Their emotional connection with the stories of the early blues performers gives soul to the deep blues and gospel songs they perform. Andy’s nimble and authentic guitar work provides the perfect back drop for Suzie's powerful blues vocals and on-stage charm to shine as they come together in Nothing In Rambling. “I adore this album, it has touched my soul” Stephen Harrison, Blues Matters Magazine review of ‘Live at Bush Hall’ “Suzie’s voice is unforced, achieving numerous stylistic changes, while Andy’s guitar is technically impressive, versatile and consistently delivers flawless accompaniment” Morgan Hogarth, RnR Magazine Doors open 7pm, Music starts 8.30pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited, and available on a first come first served basis, so if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!

The Andrew Collins Trio

THE ANDREW COLLINS TRIO: Mando maestro Andrew Collins finds himself – through no actual fault of his own – at the epicentre of Canada’s burgeoning acoustic/roots music scene. He didn’t invent it – but he's certainly been a contributor, having co-founded seriously noteworthy Canadian bands like the Creaking Tree String Quartet, the Foggy Hogtown Boys and, more recently, his namesake Trio. That’s not to mention the fact that this prolific, robust performer – comfortable on mandolin, fiddle, guitar, mandola and mandocello – composes, produces, arranges, writes and teaches across multiple genres, including a popular collision of folk, jazz, bluegrass, celtic, and classical. As Collins gathers up innumerable JUNO nominations (5) and Canadian Folk Music Awards (7) won by his various ensembles, he’s zeroing in on the work he does with Trio-mates: fellow string guru Adam Shier, whose versatility shines through on guitar, mandolin, and vocals, and in-the-pocket James McEleney holding it down on the bass, mandocello and vocals. Showcasing a dizzying number of styles and instruments on stage, Collins and Co. appear to live by the old adage, “idle hands are the devil’s workshop”, likely keeping them just ahead of his grasp. Bending and blending genres, these musical shape shifters land somewhere between the re-imagined worlds of Béla Fleck and Newgrass invader, David Grisman. In 2024, they released The Rule of Three, which received much acclaim including three more 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award nominations. True to his form, Andrew hasn't allowed himself to rest on his laurels. The Trio have a new release on its way. Retro, a retrospective look back at Andrew's 25+ years composing and performing his own music, explores and reimagines some of his favourite pieces that predate the trio's existence. Keep your eyes and ears out for the 2025 release. Doors open 7pm, Music starts 8.30pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited, and available on a first come first served basis, so if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!

George Jackson

GEORGE JACKSON: George Jackson is a Nashville-based fiddle player and the 2022 IBMA Instrumentalist Of The Year Momentum Award Winner, who performs as a band leader and fiddler for hire with artists such as The Jacob Jolliff Band, Jake Blount, Tall Poppy String Band, Brad Kolodner, The Local Trio, Peter Rowan, Missy Raines, and others. George is known for his original fiddle tunes of which he’s composed a number of widely played modern standards, and his dedication to the study of traditions in Old Time and Bluegrass fiddling. Born in New Zealand, George grew up in a musical family and first heard bluegrass music around the age of 14, immediately falling in love with the style he started trying to work out how to play it from recordings and from mentors in New Zealand. As a resident of Nashville and the USA from 2016, George has released four albums of fiddle tunes, "Time and Place" in 2019 and "Hair & Hide" in 2021 and most recently two albums as “George Jackson’s Local Trio” with Eli Broxham and Frank Evans in 2023 and 2026. He was awarded first place in the Mike Auldridge tune composition award by the DC bluegrass union in both 2019 and 2021 for his tunes "Chapel Hill Deer Stalk" and "Neighbor Mike" respectively. He also sparked a viral fiddle tune frenzy with his composition "Dorrigo", when hundreds of musicians learned the tune and posted videos of themselves playing it online, becoming known as the "#dorrigochallenge". In his free time, George loves to watch Star Trek and cook food at home, with recent obsessions in Italian and Cajun fare. He loves Swedish fiddle music and —fun fact— he was a competitive Highland dancer until the age of 21. Doors open 7pm, Music starts 8.30pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing.

Murphy Campbell

“Campbell is a powerhouse on the banjo, not flashy or virtuoso, but with a natural feel for this music. It courses through her veins.” – Roots World MURPHY CAMPBELL: Murphy Campbell is a ballad singer and old time banjo player with deep roots in Western North Carolina. Having just released her debut EP “Murphy Campbell” last year and her upcoming album Revenant set to be released this winter, she is a fast rising star within the traditional community. A contemporary clawhammer banjoist rooted in the influences of the Toe River valley, Murphy has developed a playing style that speaks to those familiar and unfamiliar with old time. With a bold but memorably sweet voice that demands the ear listens, Murphy has preserved countless ballads from her family tree. Murphy’s debut album Revenant is an act of preservation; over a dozen ballads from her ancestors recorded within a historic Mitchell county church under a mile from where her family settled hundreds of years ago. Performed with complete love and admiration for those who came before and complemented by her signature low tuned gut string banjo, it demonstrates that Murphy’s age of 19 is not the age of her soul. Murphy has played Scruggs Fest, FolkFest, MerleFest and has opened for the likes of Molly Tuttle and Chatham Rabbits. || Debut Album “Revenant” to be released late 2026. || “Murphy Campbell is on a mission to preserve the sound of Yancey and Mitchell counties. It’s also the sound of her family.” – Blue Ridge Public Radio Doors open 7pm, Music starts 8.30pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing.
