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

For the past decade, Will Samson has been steadily amassing a catalogue of albums and EPs that explore the spaces between folk, electronic and ambient sounds. His latest offering comes in the form of 'Active Imagination' - a 9 track opus released in May 2022. Beginning with 2012's album 'Balance' (mastered by Nils Frahm), Samson has since released through record labels such as legendary Wichita Recordings (RIDE, American Football) & New York based ambient / experimental label, 12k (Ryuichi Sakamoto, Taylor Deupree, Christoper Willits). Alongside headline shows across Europe and the UK, he has previously toured with artists such as S. Carey, The Album Leaf, Kurt Vile and many more.

Formerly one half of folk-pop duo Hudson Taylor (30 million Spotify streams, a Number 1 Irish album, stages with The Rolling Stones, Hozier, and George Ezra), Harry is now forging a solo path rooted in honest, unguarded songwriting. 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.

Noah writes his own brand of country music and has released two original albums that have received critical acclaim.

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.

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.

Unbelievable Truth are a British rock band, led by Andy Yorke, with Nigel Powell, Jason Moulster, and Jim Crosskey. Their sound has been described as "slow, melancholy, country-tinged ballads, wrapped in a soft blanket of acoustic guitars and minor chords".

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 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.

Folk songwriter from Lincolnshire, writing tender observations on the world, with a keen eye for the intimate details that make up our every day life. Taking inspiration from artists such as Judee Sill and Bridget St John to Fiona Apple, her songs are little vignettes as timeless as they are timely.

Maripool is the moniker of Lisbon-born, London based songwriter Natasha Simões, a self-described “one girl band” who works largely solo, writing and playing on her guitar-driven, bedroom-pop arrangements. Upon moving to London at 18, Simões got a job at Whole Foods and bought a guitar with her first paycheck.

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. Her third album Like Plasticine drew on her experiences working as a medical doctor during the pandemic. 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.

"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

Devon's Ellie Finnerty is a globetrotting acoustic singer-songwriter, bringing her unique blend of pop-folk for the first time to her new hometown of Brighton in this exciting debut headline show. 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. Now she is ready to perform her first ever full-length originals show in this vibrant, musical city. At this one-off intimate show, you can expect a confident performance from an artist on the rise, with songs both old and new, and always with storytelling at its heart. + Support Act TBC

You might not have heard the name Henry Grace, but if you like raw, emotional lyricism, American folk, and Bruce Springsteen and Bon Iver were your first loves, then its time to get to know this newcomer. Hes just released his debut album today, Alive in America, an autobiographical record of his battle with depression and move to America from the UK. Born and raised in London, Henry suffered with depression, and at 21, after hitting rock bottom, he moved to California in order to get treatment. In LA he not only shook off his demons: he got into Berkeley to study literature, started to pursue music, and quickly began to sell out venues as his sound transitioned from British folk singer to Americana songwriter. After fives years in the states, and two EPs later, he returned to London, where he continued to write and tour relentlessly, advocate for mental health awareness, and put together a record. The album was recorded live over 5 days at Rockfield Studios in early 2021. Engineered by Josh Tyrell (Van Morrison) and mixed by Oliver McKiernan (Echobelly), Alive in America is rough around the edges, almost harsh at times, like the landscape he is drawing from, and is littered with cinematic imagery resonant of the Coen brothers.

Just when Sean Solomon thought he was out, they pulled him back in. The songwriter had stepped away from the mic, making the difficult decision with his bandmates to put his Sub Pop-signed band Moaning on indefinite hiatus and recalibrate. He poured himself into animation — an obsession and dream job that quickly became a reality. He made music videos for Run The Jewels and Unknown Mortal Orchestra and CHAI and Odd Future. He was living a dream, but it was only part of the dream. He still heard chords when he went to bed, ached for the feeling that artists like Elliott Smith, The Microphones, and Neutral Milk Hotel gave him.

Exeter-based duo Abbe Martin and Hannah Wood dovetail beautifully on their debut album, For All Our Sins, a beguiling acoustic pop collection replete with lyrical sensibility on tracks like the first single, Smokescreen (“Living beyond the darkness others create for us, and growing into something positive”), The Circus (“When everyone wants something from you, who can you trust?”) and Mr Wilson (“The chemistry of a new relationship, unsure of where it is going, but knowing that you want more from it”). Already championed by Chris Evans – who declared himself “blown away” when he heard Sound of the Sirens for the first time – they’re certain to broaden a burgeoning fan base on the back of For All Our Sins. It’s a fan base built up not just over several sublime EP self-releases – but also through their live shows, which combine a natural facility for connecting with their audiences and unforgettable performances predicated on energy, warmth, humour and, above all, real conviction.
