Acclaimed Australian songwriter Les Thomas brings his 2026 UK tour to Bristol for an intimate performance at the Hen & Chicken, joined by independent singer-songwriter Anya Pailthorpe.
Blending folk, Americana and poetic storytelling, Thomas writes songs filled with humanity, memory and hard-won compassion. Praised for their intelligence, authenticity and emotional depth, his performances draw audiences in through powerful lyrics, warm vocals and understated delivery.
Touring in support of his forthcoming album I Remember Everything, this is a rare chance to catch one of Australia’s most compelling contemporary folk songwriters in an intimate setting.
Taking cues from folk, pop and indie, Anya Pailthorpe writes heartfelt songs about love, connection and the occasional darker turn. For fans of Laura Marling, Joni Mitchell and Dodie, her music pairs emotionally direct lyrics with melodies that draw listeners into her world.
