We’re excited to welcoming Kathryn Williams to the Strines Nightingale for an intimate show!
Kathryn Williams is a British, Mercury Prize-nominated singer-songwriter. With 17 albums under her belt in the last 27 years, her last solo album, Night Drives, debuted at #2 in the official folk album charts, while her last album, a collaboration with Withered Hand titled Willson Williams was nominated for the SAY and AMA awards. Label One Little Independent celebrated her career (thus far) with a 20-CD and two-book box set, Anthology, strewn with her artwork.
Her novel The Ormering Tide debuted to critical acclaim, and she also hosts her own popular podcast, Before the Light Goes Out, which appeared in the Top Ten best music podcasts by the Guardian. Kathryn tutors at the Arvon and Moniack Mhor Foundations, and writes with many diverse artists around the world including Paul Weller, Chris Difford, Ed Harcourt, Beth Nielsen Chapman and Michele Stodart. She is the only female included in the Top Ten list of Greatest Liverpool songwriters of all time.
Her new album, Mystery Park, will be released this Autumn.
Tour support comes from Matt Deighton. Are we finally seeing the reemergence of British folk’s most enigmatic lost son? You may recognise Matt Deighton from his time fronting Acid Jazz heroes Mother Earth; you may remember him as Paul Weller’s guitarist in the late 90’s, or Noel Gallagher’s recommendation for who should replace him when he quit the European tour in 2000. Or maybe you don’t. For almost two decades, the man they keep calling the natural successor to Nick Drake, Davey Graham and John Martyn has been himself more of a rumour – a murmur among musicians, songwriters and diehard music lovers who proudly display his rare vinyl releases like trophies. The list of articles in the press and online has continued unabated, forever asking the same question: Where is Matt Deighton? As the Huffington Post discovered in their recent piece ‘The Resurrection of Matt Deighton’: He’s back. He’s been back a couple of times, and you missed him.
Matt Deighton’s stunning discography is an undiscovered island inhabited by a human being everyone wants to love and protect from the world around him. Matt’s is a story of genuinely great musicianship and songwriting; but most of all, of the beauty and fragility of one of Britain’s greatest lost talents and how life around him has sometimes shaped a fate beyond his control; but who has come back with something more beautiful every time the storm abated. Yes, Matt Deighton has returned and you probably never knew it. Well now you do; and as the Sunday Times declared, ‘it’s impossible to imagine fans of Nick Drake of John Martyn not falling in love with him’.
This show takes place at the Strines Nightingale – a lovely country pub, formerly called the Sportsman, which re-opened in autumn 2022. Strines is on the Piccadilly-Sheffield train line, and on the 358 bus route from Stockport to Hayfield. This show will run until 10.30pm at the latest.
