ON SALE 10am FRIDAY 15 MAYThea Gilmore is a prolific and fiercely independent singer-songwriter whose career spans more than two decades and 20 albums, beginning with her debut Burning Dorothy in 1998. Renowned for her raw, emotive writing as well as her ability to reinterpret others’ work, she continues to evolve while maintaining a deeply human connection at the heart of her music.
In 2025, she released These Quiet Friends, a collection of cover versions that have served as quiet anchors throughout her life, reimagined with her unmistakable voice. The record sits alongside her growing reputation as both a songwriter and a uniquely sensitive interpreter.
Alongside this, Gilmore has launched The Echo Line, an ambitious and increasingly talked-about project that transforms anonymous voice messages into songs. The project has already drawn attention from BBC Radio 4’s Front Row and BBC Radio 6 Music, and has seen hundreds of stories shared, revealing something far deeper and more expansive than originally intended.
A compelling live performer, she has recently completed two successful tours, including a full band show at London’s Union Chapel and has toured in support of Richard Hawley.
Her music has featured in numerous films, most recently Joyride (2022) and Army Of The Dead (2021) and she has collaborated with and earned the admiration of artists including Bruce Springsteen, Billy Bragg, Martha Wainwright, Steve Earle, Beth Orton and John Cooper Clarke.
With support (to be announced.)
