Withered Hand is the solo project of Edinburgh-based indie folk-pop artist Dan Willson, known for his incisive songwriting and often lo-fi, acoustic sound. Dan emerged from Fife’s legendary Fence Collective in 2009 to release four acclaimed LPs, including most recently the SAY Award nominated collaborative LP ‘Willson Williams' with Kathryn Williams in 2024.

Dan will be playing solo versions of new material at this special intimate show, alongside old WH favourites.
