Two compelling female singer song writers making emotionally vivid alt-folk

There's been a slight change up to tonight's line up! Sadly Astrid Williamson can no longer perform but India Arkin will be playing a slightly longer set and we have some extra special FRESH guests joining the bill! Dinner will be sweet potato dahl with pilau rice, spiced vegetables, raita and chutney! There's still time to grab a ticket for dinner! 

The writings, a mix of poetry, music, and personal journal, capture moments from a year-long tour. Into The Mountain is startling in its frankness, moving from the darkly confessional to the joyously beautiful to reflect Williamson’s own life experiences, and making for a powerful listen.

Hailing from the remote Shetland Islands, Astrid is also a session musician with Dead  Can Dance & her long career has seen many  interesting collaborations including John Cale, Stereophonics, Mortal Coil amongst many others.

India Arkin is a 21-year-old indie singer-song writer inspired by the likes of Matilda Mann, Mild High Club and Lucy Dacus.

Written through the first year of the pandemic, her  EP “No Innocent Bystander”. speaks about seeking out the light in the darkest of situations, using supersonic ethereal soundscapes and experimental sound. She has been featured more than once on BBC Introducing Northeast and BBC Introducing Tees and is very much one to watch.
