Hannah Rose Platt sings 'Deathbed Confessions' at The BookCellar

A gig on Friday 30th October. The event starts at 19:30.


Hannah Rose Platt is a singer-songwriter with a cinematic eye and a poet’s ear, crafting haunting, imaginative records steeped in melody and myth. Known for her flair for the macabre and piercing narrative depth, she creates genre-bending music that feels like live folklore,  intimate, eerie, and unforgettable.

Her Xtra Mile Recordings debut Deathbed Confessions announced her as a striking new voice, praised by The Crack as “twelve murder-ballad tales dripping in gothic stylings.” This was followed by Hypnagogia, a companion EP inspired by Nordic folklore and written for a Scandinavian tour supporting label-mate Frank Turner. Featuring atmospheric songs and eerie spoken-word interludes narrated by BAFTA-nominated actor David Morrissey (Sherwood, The Long Shadow), Hypnagogia drew acclaim for its daring format and haunting atmosphere.

In 2025, Platt released her latest concept album, Fragile Creatures (Xtra Mile Recordings) produced with BAFTA/Mercury-nominated Ed Harcourt. Inspired by myths, superstitions, and historical misdiagnoses surrounding women’s bodies, the album received widespread critical acclaim. It has since been transformed into a live immersive song cycle, which debuted at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe, earning ★★★★ and ★★★★★ reviews across the board for its originality, emotional depth, and powerful fusion of music, history, storytelling, and immersive sound design. Following its success, the show has been staged at the Surgeon’s Hall Museum (Edinburgh) and will soon appear at London’s Old Operating Theatre Museum, with further touring planned across the UK and internationally.

Over the past few years, Platt has toured with Frank Turner, Ed Harcourt, and Chuck Ragan as well her own headline shows, captivating audiences with conceptual performances that blur the lines between concert, theatre, folklore, and song.

We'll be featuring a selection of the titles that inspired the album to take home at the end of the evening.

Ticket: £15.00
