About this Event
A night of exquisite songwriting in one of Beverley's most atmospheric settings. Yorkshire's own Chris Brain headlines, bringing his fourth album Red Sun Rising — a quietly powerful record of yearning and restlessness, steeped in the British pastoral tradition. A regular on BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio 2's Folk Show, Chris has taken his acoustic storytelling from sold-out UK tours to a sold-out run across Japan. Mark Radcliffe hears "shades of the master Ralph McTell" — Songlines calls it "contemporary folk song at its finest."
Support comes from Sorrel Nation, the travelling troubadour whose rooted Americana sound — folk-rock, country and a voice of real depth — has made her a rising name on the festival circuit (Black Deer, Cambridge Folk, Isle of Wight). Fresh from her acclaimed debut album Lost En Route, Sorrel arrives promoting most recent album Creeping Thyme, with Americana-UK naming her one of the buzziest singer-songwriters on the UK scene right now.
As ever, there will be a warm St Nick's welcome, great acoustics, a licensed bar, and a merch stall.
