Entry Requirements: Over 18s only
This intimate acoustic ‘In the Round’ experience will allow you to enjoy performances of songs by those who wrote them. Be prepared to laugh and (possibly) cry as they bare heart and soul sharing stories behind the songs. You’ll hear interpretations of songs that have inspired them, and maybe even a Christmas song or two!
Singer songwriter Simon James has been performing his music around the UK for over 20 years. More recently he has found success in the UK Country and Americana scene and has recently signed a publishing deal, played the UK Country Music Festivals and was nominated Horizon act of the year at the BCMA Awards. He has had several top 30 UK country releases and is currently in the studio recording his second album. Simon can be seen playing solo or with his full band the Deep River Pilots.
She’s only just begun yet Glasgow Singer songwriter Elaine Lennon is already turning heads in the UK and Nashville with her tapestry of Americana, folk, jazz and blues music. She was awarded Nashville Songwriter Association International’s coveted ‘One to Watch’ accolade and reached No.2 on the industry esteemed ‘NSAI Top 40’ song writing competition (Winter 2018). Elaine is working on her debut album with Findlay Napier and Paul Savage. “Elaine has mastered the knack of creating original beautifully crafted songs, branded with her own unique sound, while evoking the distinct sensation you have been listening to her music all of your life!”- Findlay Napier.
Kirkcaldy singer-songwriter David’s honest and engaging voice has earned comparisons to Jackson Browne and Ryan Adams. He has always found inspiration in American music and weaves threads of country, folk and pop into his own work.
