A gig on Friday 10th November. The event starts at 19:30.
Join us at the beautiful St Anne's Church in Easton for a very special evening of gorgeous original Folk Music and Stories from some of Bristol's finest folk musicians and storyteller, including:
Julie Abbe’
With her spine-tingling acapella renditions, mesmerizing interpretations of Yeats’s poetry, and beautiful compositions, Julie Abbé immediately captivates and deeply moves her audience. Infused with a rare sensitivity and emotional depth reminiscent of Sandy Denny, Julie's voice is full of feelings and simply spell-binding.
Her critically-acclaimed debut folk album Numberless Dreams released in 2020 was short-listed for the Album of the Year Awards by Blues and Roots Radio and got played on BBC Radio 3 and 6.
"This is folk gold... A deeply sensitive and talented artist" Folk and Tumble
“Exquisite Craftsmanship… quietly devastating” Folk Radio UK
“A skilful and sensitive composer and performer” RnR Magazine
“Julie Abbé brings to the folk table a new voice to celebrate.” Northern Sky
Pearl Love
Pearl Love is a singer-songwriter and gigging musician based in Bristol. Music is a key and undivided part of Pearl's identity, her songs offer listeners an insight into how she views the world around her and invites them to become immersed in the musical world she creates. Drawing from personal experiences Pearl’s songwriting is poetic and evocative, often showing the beauty that can be found in vulnerability. Although her songs are deeply personal the underlying themes are universally relatable and it is through these human emotions that Pearl finds connections with those to whom she performs.
Heather Jane
Heather is a storyteller, lover of tales (and tails), animals, nature and magical Otherworlds. One of her key life skills is seeing the animals in people, and the people in animals, and finding both the underbelly and the mischief in life. As a hag in training she loves exploring different lands, meeting humans, crashing about, listening to the beasts, narrating the world around us and laughing.
Her stories weave the old tales with mutterings that come from the earth, and insights mined from the dirty work of trying to work out how to be a human in a broken culture.
Ben Terence
Ben Terence (formerly of bungo and the bandits) is a folk singer-songwriter based in Bristol. His upcoming debut album Fragile mind
delves into issues surrounding mental health, giving a raw, honest and deeply poetic depiction of difficult to talk about topics such as depression.
Bens music Is also full of hope and beauty. He draws great inspiration from the things that help maintain positive mental health such as self acceptance, friendship and a connection to the natural world.
His voice is deep and powerful, the resonance of which perfectly carries the message of his songs straight to the heart of the listener.
