We had such a blast last night, a gig to remember 🔥

Some thanks are in order:

Thanks @rosecallcott for arranging an amazing gig

Thanks @ameliajread for not only taking these sick photos 📷 but also literally saving the gig by taking payments on your phone when our ticket link died (RIP 🪦)

Thanks @earthfarmband and @palmaloucamusic for sharing the stage - you are both incredible bands 💫

Thanks @thecumberlandarms, Lee for working the door and sound engineer Sarah who absolutely smashed it 🙏

Finally thanks to everyone who showed up, we don't gig very often so it was really heartening to see a good turnout, we feel very lucky 🥹

Until next time ❤️

It's time…! So excited to tell you that my debut album SING, SUNG, SINGING is set for release on 8th January 2027 + is available to pre-order now with a beautiful limited @dinkededition on Vinyl + CD! (swipe to see the blue + gold marble vinyl 😍)

I'll be celebrating with some launch gigs next year in NEWCASTLE + LONDON + today sharing a new single Symbols + Colours.

I can't quite tell you how much has gone into bringing this music into the world. Me + my cello (+ a load of incredible people) recorded by @samgrantproducer at @blankstudios. These songs have seen me through times of grief, joy + everything in between. It's looking back + facing forward. It feels ancient + new. They have been brewing for a lifetime + they will be yours on 8th January 2027. ❤️

All made possible with funding from @prsfoundation

in September @sidequestwastaken hosted SIDESHOW at @tryin_hq where i held a pillow making workshop, you doodled on calico and passed it down the line to me, then i sewed it, @hollienot stuffed it and a pillow was born

the cardboard queen also made the lovely pillow sign at the end

the next SIDESHOW is Feb 13th 2027, get your tickets in @sidequestwastaken 's bio

There are so many sides to each person on the line-up this Saturday that it's been impossible to truly get across how many of you will love this gig. How do you promote a night that'll appeal to fans of synthpop, theatre, electroacoustic, doom, avant jazz, traditional folk, electronica, poetry, queer performance, and to people who have no experience of the above, and make that sound believable? 😂

Obviously we all love diverse, boundary-flattening artists, that's why you're reading this. The far-from-typical minds performing this Saturday at @newriverstudios draw from too many influences to describe accurately. They use the familiar to fearlessly innovate new experiences, pushing through the foggy-overwhelm of algo-friendly dross to reawaken the minds of anyone craving surprise, curiosity, inspiration and sincerity.

It will be an epic final show before our break from organising events, very honoured to work with these inhumans. Join us and everyone who's already found the links on RA, Dice and Outsavvy.
