North Tyne troubadours The Brothers Gillespie combine the glorious tones of sibling harmony with brilliant multi-instrumentalism and inspired song-writing. Described by Folk Radio UK as 'weaving an especially compelling magic'. Sam and James are great protagonists of the living tradition of British folk music.

This magnetic bond still holds after more than 40 years of attempted escapes and still loved for their total in-yer-face originality, the contrast between the dead pan humour of Barrett and mad onstage antics of Otway are hilarious to watch. John's lyrical genius and Willy's outstanding musicianship (he seems to play almost every stringed instrument known to man, plus a few hybrids of his own making!) Ever keen to add a new dimension to the show, Willy has a new addition to his array of instruments. Beware the Moose Homp!!. Willy's interest in making instruments began when he commandeered two guitars made by his dad in 1965. One from an old guitar neck and a scaffold plank which became affectionally known as the Les Dawson, and the other branded the Mk1 Schitstik electric slide of similar pedigree. These instruments were used on many of the early tracks, including Really Free and Racing Cars) Willy's remark this will be the last time that many of you will see us together again was often hastily misinterpreted as the final throw of the dice, but the reason given it's not us packing up, it's you lot dying off, you know who you are! is often overlooked by eager scribes. And so the rumours abound. Earlier this year John celebrated his 5,000th gig to a packed house at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire. For any Otway/Barrett virgins out there who dont know what to expect, be prepared for everything from bare-chested theremin playing to wah wah wheelie bin as the duo jump from one hit and 40 near misses to another: An amazing and irreverent performance by two master entertainers.

Angeline Morrison is a singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who explores traditional song with a deep love, respect and curiosity. She mostly makes music in the genres of wyrd folk and psych folk, her work infused with elements of soul music, literature, 60s beat pop sounds, folklore, myth and the supernatural. With a feral approach, a handmade sonic aesthetic and a belief in the importance of tenderness, Angeline's original compositions and re-stitchings of traditional songs focus on storytelling and the small things that often go unnoticed.

Described in The Living Tradition as captivating, bold and striking, Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne is at the forefront of his generation of English folk musicians as both a powerful and commanding singer and a masterful player of the Anglo concertina and melodeon. Cohen's music is rooted in the English folk tradition, celebrating the age-old musical heritage of this broad and diverse land. Traditional ballads, songs and tunes form the basis of Cohen's material, but with a smattering of early music, ragtime, and music hall thrown in for good measure along with regular forays into the music of the Caribbean.

Come along to another edition of New Lands, and you can listen to the addictive tones of Richard Lewis and the wizardry that is Odina. Odina is the solo project of Catalan singer, songwriter, and composer Blanca Romeo de la Higuera. Her early musings, vulnerable and intimate, like a whispered diary entry, quietly captivated millions on Spotify. Now, she is embarking on a new album chapter set to see the light of day in 2027: a baroque-pop dreamscape where innocence fractures and meaning hides in the surreal. This is music that wanders-through identity, through absurdity, through the soft chaos of the self. Odina’s world is raw, strange, and searching, a place that feels both far away and deeply familiar. Richard Lewis are an Oxford/London duo. Their EP ‘Live in Vienna’ came out in 2023, and they are currently working on their first album. Presented by The Ivy House. This is an 18+ event.

Crafted in secret studio and home recording sessions, the Cowboys draw from influences in the janglier categories of 20th Century guitar music alongside the sound worlds of Eno and Television. Above all else, Global Cowboys guitar-led compositions aim to explore, in equal measure, the hopeful and the forlorn. Rope Burn is an alternative/slowcore/post-rock inspired quintet featuring trumpet and banjo based in London. The group hails from Ireland and the UK with songs that spill into each other to make a cohesive and fluid set with all members singing. Ropeburn pulls influences from Caroline, Alex G and American Football whilst featuring members from Blood Wizard, Kissing on Camera, Baggio and Bog Band. Presented by The Ivy House. This is an 18+ event.
