Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Australian mystic singer-songwriter Ned Collette brings melancholy, Leonard Cohen–esque elliptical lyricism and musky, finger-picked chord progressions to the Old E; an intimate performance of uncanny ambience and epic story-songs FFO: Nick Drake, Bill Callahan, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Joanna Newsom, Cat Power."

- NED COLLETTE -
Australian/New Zealander Ned Collette has long established himself as a songwriter whose literate, evocative songs
are paired with music that's both adventurous and eclectic.
His albums exist inside a dynamic flux of folk, jazz and
avant rock, and his long list of regular collaborators include members of the Dirty Three, The Necks, the folk singer
Leah Senior, and many other luminaries of contemporary music.
Collette’s songwriting, combined with his early background in improvised and experimental music, has resulted in
seven albums of uncompromising vision, released on a variety of international labels.
Over the years Collette has collaborated and toured with such artists as Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Joanna Newsom, Cat Power, Bill
Callahan, St Vincent, Kurt Vile and Deerhoof, amongst many others. In 2025 he will tour and appear at various
festivals throughout Europe, Australia, the UK and the USA.
- IZAAK HARE -
Izaak Hare is a tangled fingered, psychedelic folk artist. Who shows favour to middle eastern influences, which he binds into a western structure of composition.
Over the past 4 years Izaak has been building up a portfolio of songs, many of which have been revisited and rearranged. This concludes in his urge to start performing a set that is ever changing, whilst being in the midst of recording his debut folk album ‘Fruiting Bodies’.
This event is hosted by Outsider, Community Jam Collective & The Old England Pub Bristol!
