About the performers:

Scott Matthews’ ground-breaking debut album, Passing Stranger earned him serious critical acclaim with its bold mix of folk, rock, blues and Eastern-inspired song-writing, and in 2007 his first single ‘Elusive’ won the Ivor Novello Award for ‘Best Song Musically and Lyrically’. From here Scott went on to perform on a number of international sell-out tours with respected artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Bert Jansch, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Foo Fighters, Snow Patrol and Tori Amos.

Championed by Lauren Laverne as ‘a big favourite’ and Huey Morgan as being ‘something else’, Scott’s musical dexterity and experimentative approach to song-writing continued to excite over the course of the next several albums released.

Matthews’ latest album, Restless Lullabies, emerges with a stark boldness that is breath taking. The album’s acoustic purity creates a subliminal listening experience. The delicacy of the songs allows his poetry to breathe, his transcendent voice to soar, brings his sensitive guitar playing into focus and further cements his undeniable mastery as one of our greatest songsmiths.

“And here in a break from these dark times…a moment to move through Scott’s unique landscape of song and sound…compelling and beautiful” – Robert Plant (on Restless Lullabies), 2023

“Another beautiful piece of work…it feels timeless…existing outside any genre, which is a beautiful thing… absolutely wonderful” – Ed O’Brien, Radiohead (on Restless Lullabies), 2023

“A big favourite of ours...just gorgeous” – Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music

“His music has a glorious atmosphere” – Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2

“I think he’s wonderful” – Guy Garvey, Elbow

“This is just something else...he’s a great live show” – Huey Morgan, BBC 6 Music


Vashti Anna Returns to Live Performance with Soulful Indie-Folk

Prepare for an intimate evening with singer-songwriter Vashti Anna. Weaving together indie-folk and soul with jazz harmonies and introspective lyrics, her music explores the depths of human connection. Praised by BBC Radio 2's Janice Long ("Absolutely Stunning") and The Independent ("A touch of class" at Glastonbury), Vashti comes from a celebrated musical family (Tom Baxter, Charlie Winston) and has toured extensively, performed with Ed Sheeran and Jamie Lawson, and released three acclaimed albums. After focusing on family, Vashti Anna is relaunching her music career with renewed passion, making this live performance a highly anticipated return.
