Why You Should Go

If you enjoy the honest songwriting of artists such as Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, Ashley McBryde or homegrown favourites from the UK’s thriving country scene, this show offers the same emphasis on storytelling, musicianship and genuine connection with the audience. Rather than a large-scale production, this is country music at its most personal—where every lyric matters and every song has a story.

With doors opening for a comfortable midweek evening and the show finishing at approximately 10:00pm, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy outstanding live music while still making it home at a sensible hour. Whether you’re a long-time country fan or simply looking for a quality night of live music in one of London’s most historic venues, this promises to be an evening well worth experiencing.
