With 17 album releases over the past 27 years, Mercury Music Prize-nominated Kathryn Williams is one of the UK’s most distinctive voices. Her last solo album, Night Drives, debuted at No. 2 in the Official Folk Album Chart, while her collaboration with Withered Hand received SAY and AMA Award nominations.

She has worked with musical greats including Paul Weller, Chris Difford, Ed Harcourt, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and Michele Stodart and she remains the only woman in the Top Ten Greatest Liverpool Songwriters of All Time.

Kathryn’s new album, Mystery Park, will be released this autumn and showcased on her upcoming tour alongside the brilliant guitarist and singer-songwriter Matt Deighton.

Katherine Priddy has announced the release of her third album, These Frightening Machines for March 2026 via Cooking Vinyl. The new record follows Priddy’s highly acclaimed debut The Eternal Rocks Beneath and sophomore LP The Pendulum Swing which firmly established her as one of the most exciting artists on the contemporary British music scene. Greeted with critical acclaim in the press, many called it “One of The Albums of the Year”.

Priddy has sold out headline tours and supported world class artists with her haunting vocals and distinctive finger-picking guitar style. She recently wrote and released two songs with Poet Laureate Simon Armitage and performed on the legendary BBC Later with Jools Holland TV show.

The most sonically varied of her career, the songs on Priddy’s new album span a full spectrum of emotions and explore what it means to keep going when things fall apart, to hold onto connections in a world that sometimes divides, and to figure out where we fit into the machines and systems we find ourselves a part of. With her momentum showing no signs of slowing, the release of These Frightening Machines is set to take her star even higher.

Nick Drake is one of the most revered and loved of all this country’s acoustic Singer-Songwriters. He has given us timeless songs that shed all the tears of life within their fragile yet perfect lines.

He recorded three cherished albums between 1969 and 1972 but was almost entirely unknown in his day. After his tragic death in 1974 aged only 26 his music almost disappeared into obscurity. Now, thanks to a massive resurgence of interest and a worldwide re-evaluation of his unique music, Nick Drake has become a national treasure. Several meticulously compiled biographies look at every aspect of Nick’s life and music, throwing light on many shadowy corners of mystery and supposition.

Two decades have now passed since Singer/Guitarist Keith James first astonished the whole country with his stunningly beautiful series of concerts. He was the first artist ever to bring these intriguing songs to theatres and arts venues across the UK, and remains to this day, the foremost artist devoted to performing Nick’s music in its pure live acoustic form. Over the past 20 years, Keith has performed over 1000 highly acclaimed concerts in venues across the UK, Ireland, Holland, France, Italy and Spain including all of Nick’s schools and colleges – even Glastonbury Festival. 

Keith will be joined by flautist Richie Cotterill.
