Artists
Briana Corrigan
With a voice that “could melt icebergs at 50 paces” (VOX), Briana Corrigan of The Beautiful South has returned to the stage after a 10-year hiatus with 2 hugely successful and largely sold-out tours throughout the UK and IRELAND already completed, a new album in the pipeline and a series of brand new gigs lined up for Autumn 2024 and Spring 2025.
Belfast born Corrigan is best known for delivering Beautiful South’s most successful single, the chart topping, No1, Brit award winning A Little Time where her unique vocal -“one of the most distinctive voices in pop” (Time Out) and Heaton’s brilliantly acerbic lyrics and catchy melody combined to create an unforgettable anthem to broken love
As a songwriter in her own right, Corrigan has released 2 critically acclaimed solo albums, enjoying accolades from the likes of Q magazine, “ her forte…. chest hugging breast beating balladry of the highest calibre”, “A revelation!” (Melody Maker) “a songwriter of wit and elegance” (Hot Press), “It’s like listening to someone sing you a story. The rain outside is drifting along the glass and this is a good soundtrack to the tale of its falling” (Melody Maker)
This is a rare opportunity to hear Corrigan’s “stupendous vocal” (NME) up close and personal as she entertains with an evening of story and song. Expect Beautiful South classics, nestled among her own beautifully crafted songs and some unique takes on traditional favourites all combining to pack an intimate, heart-warming, emotional and joyous punch of connection.

Martha St. Arthur
If country music’s all about life inside America, Martha St. Arthur’s modern Westerns are all about life outside it. Raised in the badlands of England’s deep South in an identikit commuter town, her early influences were from Hollywood’s 1990s global sprawl: hedonistic party pop, paint-by-numbers rom-coms and Singstar symphonies. Now under the altogether more benign influence of Laura Marling, Kacey Musgraves and Paul Simon, her punchy alt-country is preoccupied with politics, little England and the reality of life in the final years of liberal democracy. Contrary to lyrical indications, she’s actually quite a cheerful person.
