Adam Kirkup // Katie Keddie // George Gadd @ The Grove

Adam Kirkup writes folk songs that get sung at Wrestlemania. His tender 2025 EP, It's Only Love That Makes It Feel Like Losing, was called "pure poetry" (BBC Introducing) and "masterfully crafted" (Pulitzer-winner David Hanners). He's recorded with indie-folk legend Kimya Dawson (Moldy Peaches) and toured with WWE hall-of-famer Mick Foley. Expect lyrical, whimsical folk that's somewhere between Paul Simon, Fionn Regan and The Mountain Goats.
"Beautiful" -- Kimya Dawson
"Stirring and spellbinding" -- Mary Spender

Katie Keddie is a singer-songwriter based in Nottingham who, with her band, creates ethereal alt-folk tracks with delicate, emotive instrumentation and relatable lyrics.
In 2023, Katie headlined Nottingham’s Bodega, toured with Amber Run across the UK, and opened the Courtyard Stage at Splendour Festival.
In 2024, her release dead flame was featured on BBC Radio 6’s BBC Introducing Mixtape. This followed the release of her sophomore EP nothing much to say, produced by Noah Weinman (of ‘Runnner’), which received praise from outlets including the BBC, Alexrainbird, and Clout Magazine. The EP launch party at Rough Trade Nottingham was met with a sold out crowd, and since then she has supported the likes of Hurry for the Riff Raff and Palehound, and released her most recent EP ‘crooked shoulder’ in 2025, cementing her place as a part of the UK’s indie folk scene.
