In the last 12 years Anglo-American singer songwriter Sarah Gillespie has released 4 critically acclaimed albums, 3 EP’s + a book of poetry. She’s toured extensively, headlining leading venues + festivals in Europe and the USA including headline shows at London’s Ronnie Scott’s, the Southbank Centre’s Purcell Room + shows in Sicily, Seattle, NYC, Spain + Germany. She's twice played live on BBC Radio 4’s 'Woman's Hour' + was interviewed by Andrew Marr on BBC Radio 4’s 'Start the Week' on the role of politics in song. (She has a master’s degree in politics + philosophy).

Tonight, Gillespie will be performing an intimate set with her bandmate Chris Montague. They will be debuting songs (4 of which they co-wrote) from Gillespie’s soon to be released album recorded in Berlin’s legendary Hansa studio. The music is a mix of wonky narrative folk, Americana + jazz punctuated by Gillespie’s trademark poetic lyricism.
