A Christmas Party with The Kimberleys

Lainey Dempsey

Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre Pub · London

Influenced and inspired by Scotland and Ireland’s wealth of historical and contemporary traditional song bearers, Lainey writes and sings about rebels, underdogs, the supernatural and the broken hearted. Her unaccompanied voice creates an intimacy and a human connection that invites audiences to travel with her into the stories of the songs she sings. Lainey’s first album ‘Letle Telt’ was self-released in May 2023. Many songs are historical, some mythical, almost all have a strong female voice either in the writing or the telling. Much of Letle Telt was recorded around a campfire in the Highlands of Scotland. Half the songs were found in antique song books and are rarely sung today if at all. The other half are new compositions and have been inspired by tales from Scottish history and lore.

Hannah James and Toby Kuhn

Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre Pub · London

In a journey through sound, texture, emotion and rhythm, Hannah and Toby navigate the paths of growth, discovery, darkness and light, exploring the dialog of cello, voice, accordion and foot percussion in new and unexpected ways. Effortlessly blending, the pair play and dance through a series thoughtful tunes, soulful songs and joyful set-pieces in which Hannah’s vocal mastery is underpinned by Toby’s unorthodox delivery, weaving intricate layers of harmony and melody together to the beat and swish of percussive dance. Ever curious, always exploring their connection to the worlds around them, this duo offers an entirely novel, delicate, grounded and powerful performance.
