Paula Fong is an Americana singer-songwriter from Los Angeles with a sound that can vary from lilting trad folk, to upbeat country toe tappers, to soulful grit. During her youth, she spent many summers in the French countryside, and was deeply influenced by the local Breton folk music. She continued to explore singing various genres from Classical to Chinese opera and eventually joined an Americana church band where the main musical focus was acoustic country and folk - the kind of music that is both spiritual and also something people can relate to in everyday life. During that time she fell deeply in love with American roots music and became enamored with the classic voices and songwriting of Joni Mitchell, Gillian Welch and Patty Griffin, but was also inspired by indie folk groups like NickelCreek and The Wailin’ Jennys. From 2015-2019 she teamed up with Seattle based singer-songwriter Tom Kell and they released two albums of co-written music. After Tom passed in 2021, Paula went on to pursue a solo project under her own name and released her first EP, Chestnut Mare, in the fall of 2024. She currently sings back up vocals and tours with Abby Posner’s band - Abby Posner and the Big Fall, is an MD for an Americana/folk music church service (think Watkin’s Family Hour if it was a church service) and was nominated as a finalist in the International

Sally Rushbrook’s is a music that has forgotten its own age. Distinctly old in style, these songs draw influence from folk, gypsy jazz and barroom blues. Encountering pianist Mark Young, drummer Adam Williams and bassist Tom Eldon on the London performing circuit, an ensemble was formed around Sally’s songs and The Soothsayers have been refining a sound distinctly their own live and in the studio for several years now. When she writes it is with an emphasis on lyrical content. Streams of consciousness and narratives often form the basis of these introspective songs and subjects include passing time, changing hearts or perspectives and lost souls. Like a late-night conversation stretching into the early hours, putting the world to rights her music can equally evoke the feeling that someone is confiding in you or taking an old aphorism and turning it on its head to see what happens. Dwelling on the threshold between epiphany and confusion, Swedish Lucy Lundström sings from a place of existential questioning and occasional dread. Drawing inspiration from folk music, fairytales and visionary art, her songwriting is distinctive and evocative, yet, humble and vaguely to-the-point.

Tai Shan and Erika Olson, two acclaimed songwriters, are joining forces for an epic summer tour across the UK in 2026. Bringing together two distinct musical journeys - an award-winning songwriter from the Pacific Northwest and a former attorney-turned-storytelling ex-pat living in the English countryside. Tai and Erika create a show that’s built on harmony, grit, and the wild stories that made them. Each distinguished in their own right, together Tai & Erika bring twice the stories, twice the songs, and harmony that hits twice as hard. Erika’s emotionally precise writing and arresting vocals crack open the quiet truths at the centre of her songs, while Tai’s soaring soprano and infectious foot stomping melodies turn everyday events into something to sing about. Tai & Erika - a conversation in music: two voices, two paths, and a shared sense of resilience - all adding up to one good gosh-darn time. Award-winning songwriter Nashville-based Tai Shan combines the vintage soul of “Bonnie Raitt with the lyrical poignancy of Joni Mitchell,” ... Heralded by Americana Highway as “a modern-day troubadour” Erika Olson brings her unique blend of folk, pop and Americana to life with endearing artistry and a powerful live connection.

In addition to Teenage Fanclub cutting an album with Fair, Blake and Fair teamed up for a 2015 duo album, Yes, and Fair, Blake, and the Japanese group Tenniscoats joined forces for two albums together, 2014's How Many Glasgow and 2017's Raindrops.

Doors open 7.30 pm, music from 8.15 pm sharp. Nearest tube station Kings Cross, 8 minutes walk. Plucked while still a student to tour with Joan Armatrading, and championed by Neil Young on his Living With War website, Dan Raza has spent the first chapter of his career weaving folk troubadour magic around the clubs and halls of the UK and Europe while quietly building a reputation as one of the UK's best-kept musical secrets. With three critically-acclaimed albums under his belt, the singer-songwriter, whose roots lie in folk, Americana and lyrical pop balladry, has won support along the way from some of the biggest names in folk music, such as Rodney Crowell (great voice and fine arranging sensibilities), Tom Paxton (killer songs) and John McCutcheon (one of my favourite discoveries of recent years), and has long been tipped for wider mainstream recognition. The 12 tracks on Raza's new album Wayfarer are delivered in his trademark husky soul-laden voice which, at times, has been compared to singers such as Nick Drake, Mike Scott of the Waterboys and Ray LaMontagne. The record features a stellar cast of UK musicians including Adam Phillips on guitar (Richard Ashcroft), Geraint Watkins on keys (Van Morrison) and Luke Bullen (KT Tunstall) on drums. In addition, the album also continues Raza's long-term collaboration with members of Slim Chance, the band Ronnie Lane founded in the 1970s after leaving The Faces. . Dan Raza is one of my favourite discoveries of recent years. His instinctive way of telling a story in his songs that is both personal and universal at once is what first caught my eye. Then his ability to do just the right guitar part, a seductive melody, and heart-filled deliverywell, you just dont see it all come together so well very often. His songs have heart and teeth, my favourite combo.

Carrying with him the dual influence of the Beats and darkly troubled songwriters like Gene Clark, Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Thin White Rope's Guy Kyser, Miller's new album offers a hopeful glimmer on the horizon, a new maturity in songwriting, and a more refined and pop-oriented sound.
