In the late 60s and early 70s English Folk singer and guitarist Bridget St John released a string of now legendary pastoral chamber folk albums on John Peels Dandelion label, performed alongside Nick Drake and contributed her distinctive cello-like vocals to the songs of Kevin Ayers, Michael Chapman and Mike Oldfield. Bridget now lives in New York and recently released a mini album 'Covering My Brothers' featuring her interpretations of songs by old friends John Martyn, Michael Chapman, Nick Drake and Kevin Ayers. THE SONG HAS NO ENDING are very pleased to be welcoming Bridget to the cube for a rare UK performance.

Bridgets classic 1971 album Songs for the Gentle Man is a TSHNE favourite:

Hailing from Bristol, Eva May spent her childhood singing in choirs which has left a mark on her musical style with lush ethereal vocal arrangements. Her first single, Where Does The Time Go, was released last summer on Full Time Hobby. The song was written on her family piano, drawing a connection to her younger self whilst navigating growing older.
