7ème Ciel by Bastien Leblanc
Hello, I have some shows coming up through June, July and August…
Fairy Tales and Monsters
On 11th June I will be singing with The Age of Not Believing Orchestra at King’s Place in London. This orchestra features members of The High Llamas, The Red Clay Halo, Homelife, Beth Orton accompanist Ted Barnes, plus a six-piece brass section and 30-strong choir. This concert is part of the Fairy Tales and Monsters Festival curated by Arctic Circle and will be a really unique show – one not to be missed!

Gill Sandell at The Green Note
On the 14th July I will be supporting Gill Sandell at The Green Note in London. For the last few years Gill has been the accordionist and flautist with Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo (who have recently provided the title music for the BBC2 Drama series ‘Wallander’ and ‘The Shadow Line’). This will be Gill’s first headline show with her own band.
