Scott Lavene - Acoustic Songs & Stories 2026
Scott Lavene is a British singer-songwriter and storyteller whose work blends kitchen-sink realism with dark humour, poetic grit, and a distinctly English sense of place. Emerging from Essex, Lavene has carved out a niche as a chronicler of the overlooked; his songs populated by down-and-outs, late-night wanderers, and small-town dreamers. Before his music career gained traction, Lavene spent years working a range of everyday jobs, experiences that would later inform the unvarnished authenticity of his lyrics. His songs often feel like short stories set to music, delivered in a conversational, almost spoken-word style that sits somewhere between indie folk and post-punk. Lavene first began to gather attention in the late 2010s with early releases that showcased his knack for vivid character sketches and bleakly comic observation. His debut album Broke (2019) introduced listeners to his stark, narrative-driven songwriting, earning praise for its honesty and literary quality. Follow-up records such as Milk City Sweethearts (2021) and Disneyland in Dagenham (2023) expanded his reputation, refining his sound while maintaining the raw emotional core that defines his work. His music is often compared to a lineage of British storytellers, Ian Dury, Elvis Costello, John Cooper Clarke, Jarvis Cocker and Robyn Hitchcock but, even so, Lavene's voice remains singular. He has a gift for balancing melancholy with wit, finding beauty and absurdity in the mundane corners of modern life. On stage, Lavene's performances are intimate and magnetic, driven as much by his narrative delivery as by melody. Whether backed by a full band or performing solo, he creates a sense of closeness that draws audiences into his world. Last year's record, Cars, Buses, Bedsits and Shops was a classic, full of Essex, East End poetry, and classic ballads, the 4th solo album to add his growing, cult catalogue. The album tour was extensive, starting with an astounding show at End of The Road in August 2025, then on through the autumn and winter, finishing off in early February, with many of the shows sold out. After a move across country back to the south east where he grew up and then some time setting up his analogue studio, Milk City Studios, Scott is back with another tour, Acoustic Songs and Stories, a run of intimate shows in some incredible venues across the UK and Europe. In 2026, Scott will be playing the best of his four solo albums as well as some new material and stories, bringing the banter along with two beautiful vintage acoustic guitars. Scott continues to build a loyal following, not through chart dominance but through the strength of his songwriting and stage shows - honest, unsettling, and deeply human, bringing us into the original landscapes he creates onstage. scott-lavene.com

Based between Dublin and Berlin, his new material sits at the crossroads of indie rock, folk, and pop, drawing on themes of personal transformation and relationships. Written, performed and self-produced by Harry, and mixed by Paul Carr, Hiding From Nature is his most personal work to date: the sound of an artist who has stopped performing a version of himself and started making the record he’s always wanted to make. He’s joined on stage by Seraphina Taylor, whose backing vocals and multi-instrumental work give the live show its quiet magic.

Lemoncello

Lemoncello

6 Oct 2026 - 22 Oct 2026

It's hard not to feel seen by Lemoncello, a band whose live performances and recordings shimmer with the tones of modern Ireland. Their upcoming release, Perfect Place, evolves from the band's folk-soaked roots and confidently explores intricate new shapes. Marking a bold new chapter for singer-songwriter Laura Quirke and cellist-arranger Claire Kinsella, Perfect Place is imbued with assuredness, encompassing full band recordings that weave synths and electronic percussion into the band's staple organic sound. Through an intimate and devastatingly personal style of storytelling, the new album reflects upon the the modern tension between togetherness and alienation & the chaos of human nature with radical acceptance and compassion. Perfect Place follows on from the band's debut self-titled record, which received critical acclaim from BBC 6 Music, Clash, The Line Of Best Fit. Described as direct and refreshing, cathartic by critics at Mojo and RNR, the duo speak to listeners in the way that an ex or an old friend might cultivating a sense of consolation that leaves audiences forgetting there's a world outside of the venue. Lemoncello's body of work is equally familiar and confronting, driven by the palpable chemistry of a long-term friendship.
Sam Brookes

Sam Brookes

23 Sept 2026 - 24 Sept 2026

London based songsmith and former Sunday Times ‘Breaking Act’ Sam Brookes is still one of the UK alt-folk’s best kept secrets. His acclaimed 2014 album Kairos was tipped by The Independent for a Mercury Prize nomination, received support from the likes of Dermot O’Leary on BBC Radio 2. With over 5 million plays on Spotify, it is fair to say that those who know his music, love his music….and those who don’t, are about to. Brookes’ new single My Girls Drinks Coffee, his first for over two years, marks an exciting shift in the Sam Brookes sound. Already well known as an idiosyncratic singer-songwriter, Sam challenged himself to expand his sonic pallet, spending a few years out the game gigging and experimenting with new material. The end result is an immediate and ethereal work of chic melancholy, built on synthesised textures that devilishly underpin his soaring signature vocal.

Jamie McIntyre

Jamie McIntyre

11 Oct 2026 - 19 Nov 2026

Jamie McIntyres rise from busking on the streets of Galway city to stages across Ireland and the UK is one of Irelands latest growing success stories. Writing since the young age of 15, McIntyres musical journey began on Shop Street, busking during his college years. His early traction on social media helped to build a loyal following where he caught the eye of Gavin James who selected McIntyre to join him as support in Paris on his European tour as part of Threes City Stages initiative to find up and coming grassroots musicians and champion them. That groundwork paid off in the summer of 2024 when McIntyre released Over Galway Town, a viral hit garnering over 50 million views on TikTok and has since amassed over 7.5 million streams on Spotify, and sitting alongside some of the worlds biggest artists in the viral charts, reaching listeners from across the globe. That summer, McIntyre had the opportunity to work with Imelda May and performed at Electric Picnic as an add on to his Three City Stages experience, having impressed on his initial appearances with Gavin James. Sell-out support shows followed with Liverpool songwriter Jamie Webster at 3Olympia in Dublin and The Telegraph Building in Belfast, showcasing he was more than capable of holding his own on bigger stages. Last year saw McIntyre take his first steps as a headline artist, selling out shows in Dublin, Limerick and his hometown of Galway on his debut Irish tour. His EP Chapter 23 continued to grow his fanbase, with tracks West is Home and Grá quickly becoming live favourites and amassing over 250,000 streams in their first week alone (now sitting at over 2.3 million streams each). The For Folks Sake EP followed in October, accompanied by a sold-out Irish and UK tour that underlined just how quickly his audience has grown and introduced the world to arguably his most popular song to date, Melbourne a tried and tested story about love lost to the far side of the world. 2026 has continued that trajectory honing his live show across a sold out ten-date regional Irish tour and growing that UK presence with headline shows at The Camden in London and King Tuts in Glasgow while joining Florida beach-folk act The 502s across an eight-date UK and Ireland tour, including shows in Dublin and Belfast, all sandwiched between new songs 17 Again and Off to America. McIntyre is one of the most exciting independent voices to emerge from Ireland in years. His songs are relatable and driven through lived experience and a Grá for home, familiar to those having had to watch as their loved ones leave for a new experience across the world and a comfort for those who are living it. If this is a breakthrough year for the Galway songwriter, by any measure, 2026 could be the year it becomes something more than a breakthrough. An artist built on authenticity, community and the kind of songwriting that turns strangers into sing-along crowds and songs into anthems for a new generation.
Calvin Love

Calvin Love

8 Nov 2026 - 11 Nov 2026

Calvin Love is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose music lingers in the shadows of nostalgia and noir. With a signature croon and a sound that fuses psych-folk, cinematic longing, and romanticism, he’s built a world both vintage and strangely timeless. The press has called his work “a crestfallen soundtrack of near-escape... like Chris Isaak trapped in a David Lynch film.” An artist of quiet intensity and prolific output, Love has carved a singular space on the fringes of indie music - shaped by introspection, lyrical depth, and a restless DIY spirit. Influenced by the pulse of rock ’n’ roll and the bruised glamour of 1980s balladeers, he’s crafted a sonic universe entirely his own. Known for live shows that blur the line between concert and dream sequence, Love approaches each song like a method actor - dissolving the boundary between persona and performance with slow-burning precision. Whether standing alone with a 12-string guitar or fronting a seven-piece ensemble, his performances radiate a magnetic stillness: immersive, nuanced, and emotionally resonant. With multiple albums and international tours behind him, Calvin Love has spent the last decade quietly shaping one of the most distinct and haunting voices on the outer edges of indie music.
Eli

Eli

7 Aug 2026 - 7 Aug 2026

ELI Tour's his album 'Dork Mode Raw'. Big vocals, full band. Dork Mode RAW is my follow up album. I always wanted to do an acoustic version of my first Album. I've put everything into it, with a couple of bonus tracks too. Every weird, honest, uncomfortable, beautiful thing I couldn't say when I was younger. This is going to be a special celebration. Full band, and I want it to be loud and I want it to be close. 70 people in a room. That's it. ELI is a London singer-songwriter whose voice has been stopping strangers in their tracks since a piano session of a song called 15 And Alive at St. Pancras went viral and never really stopped. Expect big pop vocals over production that pulls from Prince, The 1975 and places less expected, with writing that deals in identity, queerness, growing up hiding and the slow work of not doing that anymore. He's been building a live reputation across London and Brighton, picked up a Mahogany session, and taken his audience from a few hundred to tens of thousands entirely on his own terms and you are still amongst the first to discover him. Dork Mode RAW is the album. It arrives with a full band in a 70 -capacity room in Brighton, which is exactly the kind of night where you'll be telling people you were there. Advised to purchase early with his previous show at The Folklore Rooms selling out in advance. Presented by Folklore Sessions This is an 18+ event

Keiron Phelan & Peace Signs + the Golden Samphire Band + David Coomber
Keiron Phelan & Peace Signs celebrate their upcoming 5th album, 'Hullabaloo' (released on Gare du Nord Records), at TFR. Early '70s tinged baroque chamber pop, with black sheep philosophers, time travelling hairdressers, sixth form poetry, '70s pornography, Swiss Army knives, David Essex kisses, faked Moon landings, new best friends, long dead friends and more. Shades of Kevin Ayers and Lou Reed, a push of Go Kart Mozart, a whisper of Marc, a squeeze of Super Furry Animals, with a soupcon of Neil Hannon, leading the protest march. Golden Samphire Band are an acoustic / song-based trio featuring singer Hannah Lewis and brothers Mik and Rich Hanscomb (of Junkboy), influenced by maritime suburbia, coastal mysticism and the Sussex landscape. Expect psychogeographically-informed psych-folk Pocket Symphonies. Their widely critically acclaimed debut album, 'Dream is the Driver', was recently released on Wayside & Woodland Recordings. David Coomber takes time off from being a multiple south coast band mainstay in a rare solo appearance with his unaffected, reflective, gently grooving songs. Delicate touches of John Martyn, Paul Simon, James Taylor and all things Laurel Canyon in softly delivered, open hearted, melodic folk/blues/soul-tinged pop.

Nighttime's third full length album, Keeper Is The Heart, engineered and co-produced by Florist's Rick Spataro, was released on Ba Da Bing! Records in 2023. Lauded by Bandcamp as Best New Music, they called the record "a mystical tapestry of psychedelic folk."

Gordi

Gordi

14 Oct 2026 - 20 Oct 2026

Gordi’s 2026 EP Nylon hit the charts before it was released. She recorded the body of work live-to-tape in a single afternoon - with no overdubs and no edits - and played the new songs to fans on her Australian tour, selling every single advance copy before the internet knew anything about it. Since her debut and sophomore albums Reservoir and Our Two Skins (2017 and 2020, Jagjaguwar), Gordi has built a devoted following on the strength of her songwriting alone - sparse, precise, and quietly devastating. She has performed alongside Bon Iver, The National, and Sam Smith, and collaborated with Troye Sivan and Julien Baker.

The record received an ARIA nomination and landed placements on NPR All Songs Considered, BBC 6 Music, and Sirius XMU, with billboards appearing in Times Square - culminating in live performances on CBS Saturday Morning and The Kelly Clarkson Show. Following a sold-out Australian tour, Gordi returns to the Uk in the Autumn.
Moon Mother, The Folklore Rooms

Moon Mother, The Folklore Rooms

1 Aug 2026 - 1 Aug 2026

Moon Mother is the voice that's echoing in the darkness of a starless night to remind you about the coming morning. Music born in darkness becomes an act of reaching for the light. The dark folk phenomenon that's rising up from Sweden opens the door to their mysterious world of shadows and light. In a beautifully raw, psychedelic universe, intertwined by the sounds of alternative slowcore and atmospheric slowrock with a wild spirit of folk their live performance is known to be a transcendant journey that leaves a strong imprint on those who cross their path. In february 2026 they released their second album Meadowlands that gained international attention, stunning reviews and praise in the underground scenes for it's authentic and catharic emotional weight. This summer they will be visiting Brighton for their first UK show ever that will happen in an intimate, stripped down setting at The Folklore Rooms. They have teamed up with the magical Brighton acts Sairie and Snowy Mountain to make sure this will become a mezmerising summer eve full of magical spells, enchanting, psychedelic and dreamy music. Dreams over Brighton - a journey between worlds and mysteries. SAIRIE: The Brighton three piece of Emma Morton, Jon Griffin and Andy Thomas cast magic spells upon the listener.

Prepare to ascend into the ether. "a moody folk-rock celebration of the great unknown, and of the hope that there's something greater in there than we can ever assume." - Alt77.com "Sara Mehner's majestic singing and storytelling quickly establishes her as a voice to be reckoned with" - Americana UK "Moon Mother creates a timeless musical bubble that enchants the audience with its slow sincerity. Sara's voice and lyrics weave a bubble of closeness to both emotions and nature, an expression of love and togetherness that feels very genuine. An aspect of spirituality that easily keeps the audience's attention captured despite the slow tempo. It's kind of solemn, a cross between a graduation and a mass, without being tacky." - Mats Lundgren

Slow Leaves

Slow Leaves

14 Nov 2026 - 14 Nov 2026

"I don't write sad songs, I write lonely songs," declares Slow Leaves in the liner notes to his 2025 album In Solitude, For Company. His assertion could serve as a thesis statement for a body of work with recurrent themes of love, loss, loneliness, memory, and time. Slow Leaves is the project of Winnipeg's Grant Davidson. Awarded Western Canadian Music Awards Songwriter of the Year, his folk and psych-rock inclinations though rooted in fingerpicking songwriter of the past, roam freely in today's post-genre landscape. On his newest release and sixth Slow Leaves album of new material, The Ruins of Things Unfinished, Davidson explores his thoughts on ambition and the long setting sun of a life dedicated to art and family. "I've somehow made a career of self-perceived failure," he writes. "I've often reflected on whether that mindset fulfills its own prophecy: quite possibly. But I think at heart, I'm not seeking greatness, at least not outside my own little world. Or maybe I've simply given up on misplaced ambitions. My ambition now is a life of greatness in small spaces, a private fame in close quarters, a life so intimate it need only whisper its declarations of love and victory." The Ruins of Things Unfinished came out in May 2026 on Birthday Cake Records and Make My Day in G/S/A/Benelux. Presented by Folklore Sessions This is an 18+ event

Celebrating a decade of writing original music, this guitar + vocal performance will journey through a narrative of coming-of-age in a small Westcountry town, travelling the world performing on cruise ships, and falling in, and out, and quite possibly back into love. Ellies honest, witty, and at times brutal lyricism has been likened to the styles of Kate Nash and Lily Allen, and her latest EP Solar Powered has been praised on BBC Introducing in the South West. Since making Brighton her home in Spring 2025, Ellie has been making waves in the local singer-songwriter scene by busking on the seafront and attending open mic events. This has led to originals performances at Brighton Fringe Festival, YouTubes Cellar 92 Sessions, Komedia (as a Special Guest with Luch Stefano), and opening for Hannah Jullian at The Folklore Rooms, as well as many countless cover gigs in pubs and bars around the city, which have honed her skills and built a growing local fan-base.
