GREEN NOTE presents… BLAIR DUNLOP with special guest MIA KELLY
Having met in Kansas City back in 2023 Blair and Mia found an instant connection through their songwriting. This led to them co-writing Mia’s single release – Meaning Well (June 2024). Blair has now invited Mia as special guest for five intimate shows in the UK for February 2025. Mia returns the favour as they tour Canada (Eastern) in March 2025.
BLAIR DUNLOP is an award-winning British singer-songwriter and guitarist, who has released 5 albums, 2 EPs and toured around the globe. Blair burst onto the scene with his debut album ‘Blight & Blossom’ in 2012, showcasing virtuosic musicianship and lyrical maturity, and was awarded a prestigious BBC Folk Award in the wake of its release. A string of critically acclaimed albums followed, along with headline tours and festival appearances in the UK, Europe, North America and Australia. ‘Gilded’ and ‘Notes from an Island’ were released on his own label and singles ‘The Egoist’ and ‘356’ received national playlist status on BBC Radio 2. Following this, ‘Trails: Queensland’ (2021), Blair’s first live album, documented a tour of rural Australia, playing for isolated communities. From Glastonbury to Tuscany, Queensland to Palestine, Blair has brought his musicality and storytelling to audiences young and old. Album five, Out of the Rain, released on 24th May 2024 and consolidated Blairs place in the UK Singer Songwriter sector.
MIA KELLY, a singer-songwriter from Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, captivates audiences with her lush folk and earthy Americana sound. Her sophomore record establishes her as a spellbinding voice, blurring the lines between intimate memoir and compelling, semi-fictional narratives.
Highlighted by Americana UK as “One to watch out for”, Kelly’s forthcoming album, To Be Clear, has garnered praise by Blues Matters Magazine, which describes her work as “Folk, and a dipped toe into the Blues pond – a brilliant combination.”
Awarded Young Performer of the Year and Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards, Mia Kelly has performed at festivals across Canada and has toured the UK with Australian Duo “Charm of Finches”. Performing in both French and English, Kelly enthrals listeners with a distinctive blend of Folk, Rock, and Blues and is making her mark in the folk music scene.
