This month featuring:
ELANOR MOSS
Our host and curator of “Soundings”, Elanor Moss will play a set of her own songs, each of them new or works in process. Elanor is a folk songwriter from Lincolnshire, writing tender observations on the world, with a keen eye for the intimate details that make up our every day life. Taking inspiration from artists such as Judee Sill and Bridget St John to Fiona Apple, her songs are little vignettes as timeless as they are timely. Featuring on lineups including Green Man Festival to London Pitchfork Festival, with BBC6 playlisting, and opening for artists such as Christian Lee Hutson and CMAT, Elanor has become one to watch on the UK songwriting scene.
YOSHIKA COLWELL
A captivating talent and vital new voice in the great canon of English folk music, Yoshika’s songs are often deeply personal and concerned with attempting to understand the self & others, time, nature and mortality. A life-long Joni Mitchell fan she also takes inspiration from a wide mix of artists inc. Gillian Welch to Linda Perhacs, John Prine to Talk Talk.
2023 included shows with Bear’s Den and Gotts Street Park. Yoshika’s debut EP ’There’s A Time’ is out now on Blue Flowers Music and has seen support from BBC 6Music, BBC Introducing, CLASH, The Line Of Best Fit and The New Cue.

Our secret SPECIAL GUEST
Our secret “special guest” is visiting London and kindly agreed to spend her night off playing for us at our inaugural Soundings event. An interdisciplinary artist, she combines found sounds and field recordings with her own writing. Her second album catapulted her into new spaces, with Pitchfork naming it “Best New Music” and earning her new fans across the globe. Her songs are tender, beautifully observed, and deeply human. We are lucky to spend an evening hearing an acoustic set of music from her, as well as conversation about the creative process.
Doors open 7pm. Music starts 8pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited and available on a first come first served basis so, if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!
