The Grey Lady Sessions: JAMES LLOYD SMITH + OLD MERCIA
Get ready for an unforgettable night as James Lloyd Smith teams up with Old Mercia for The Grey Lady Sessions. Superb local original music to an intimate seated audience by candlelight.
James Lloyd Smith is an Indie Folk artist from The Garden of England. Crafting an atmospheric, grounded soundscape through home recording, James Lloyd Smith blends intricate melodies with organic instrumentation – all self-recorded and produced. Steeped in the language and tones of the natural landscape, Lloyd Smith combines earthy reflections with personal introspection. And like the shifting seasons, his lyrics ebb and flow between solitude and renewal, loss and rediscovery. James Lloyd Smith’s music invites listeners into a world of nostalgia, introspection, and quiet beauty, making space for both melancholy and hope.Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/james.lloyd.smithMy Last Single 'Lake Walk' -
Old Mercia are a band based in and around Royal Tunbridge Wells. We know each other
from our hometown, Lichfield, a city deep in the old kingdom of Mercia which has inspired a
lot of the music that we make. We found ourselves, by chance, all living in the same area
after years apart, so picked up our instruments and carried on the journey. Making music
never really left any of us and Old Mercia covers a lot of that time in-between.
A blend of folk, indie and rock, our songs explore themes of nostalgia, loss, rebellion and
love, telling modern stories of Middle England
