About this event

ELAINE PALMER Featuring JOE WILKINS is on Saturday 5 December 2026 at Claypath Delicatessen, Durham, with doors at 18:30. Tickets start at £11, including the booking fee.

Hailing from an isolated village up on the North Yorkshire Moors, ELAINE PALMER has spent much of her life travelling back and forth to family in Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up in an old Watermill, she immersed herself in music, writing songs influenced by her surroundings both in the UK and USA. Elaine finely honed her distinctive voice and built a reputation as much for her emotive, mesmerising stage presence as for her fusion of British folk and American country styles. Touring extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Patty Griffin, Lilly Hiatt and Seasick Steve, her two most recent releases Half Moon Rising and Some Seek Silver, Some Seek Gold have seen her working with musician and producer Mike Butler (Phoebe Bridgers, Norah Jones, The White Buffalo) at his Half Moon Lodge studio high in the San Diego hills. 'Palmer's powerful expressive voice stands comparison with Emmylou Harris.' - RnR Magazine 'Carefully constructed, strong on melody, her best work yet.' ***** AmericanaUK ‘With a beautifully conversational voice, an unerring sense of melody and a bittersweet and wistful repertoire, Elaine Palmer is undoubtedly a talent.’ **** MOJO Appearing with Elaine will be inte...

BUBAMARA

Claypath Delicatessen · Durham

It seems only right that after the rigours of the Covid age we should welcome live music back to Claypath Deli with one of Durham’s finest bands - the mighty BUBAMARA who are sure to give the evening a right kick up the Balkans with their unique blend of Sicilian skiffle, Cossack ska, and songs plucked from the hash houses of Greece. Bubamara is truly a high energy Mediterranean infused extravaganza - the brainchild of Ivor Pop: a songwriter and performer with an effervescent, internationalist approach to music. Inspired by Pop’s time spent living in a kibbutz and his travels across Europe, Bubamara’s music incorporates klezmer, Anatolian grooves and pre-pop folk music. Expect to have fun in this menagerie of folk-punk exotica. ‘Bubamara are a true event, after listening to them songs will not remain the same in your music imaginary’ - Slavoj Zizek

ROBYN ERRICO

Claypath Delicatessen · Durham

Bursting onto the Teesside scene in the Northeast of England in late 2024, ROBYN ERRICO quickly established herself as an artist entirely unafraid to commit to her enchantingly twisted brand of chamber pop. Robyn blends ethereal cinematic textures, soaring vocals and introspective lyrics with genuine grit and emotion. The result is distinctively dark music with true depth: songs that manage to cradle moments of spine-tingling fragility within melodies that build to anthemic proportions. This, coupled with her penchant for vivid, nostalgia-steeped lyricism, has seen her likened to artists such as Kate Bush, Tori Amos, London Grammar and Florence + the Machine. With performances at festivals such as Kendal Calling and Focus Wales under her belt, and having supported artists such as Imogen and the Knife, Nerina Pallot and Amelia Coburn, it may not surprise that Robyn has sold out four headline shows between Newcastle and her hometown of Darlington, steadily building her own wonderfully supportive fanbase. The success of her latest EP Through the Gap (2025) reflects similar potential, receiving national airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music, earning recognition with a BBC Introducing Track of t...

TREVOR BABAJACK STEGER

Claypath Delicatessen · Durham

The UK Blues Federation named Trevor ‘Babajack’ Steger their 2023 UK Blues Acoustic Act of the Year. His music is influenced by his passion for early rural Blues which he combines with African rhythms, a sound that marks him out as a distinctive bluesman. Trevor has toured throughout the UK and across Europe, headlining Blues and Roots festivals and has played his unique genre of music in diverse venues, ranging from intimate French cafés to London’s Royal Albert Hall. ​​ Trevor has co-written 6 albums and 2 solo albums but he reckons his finest work to date is his 2022 release ‘Not Far To Go’ which he recorded with a violin player and percussionist. The themes that run through the album are travel and movement, nostalgia and melancholia. His first solo album, ‘Sawdust Man’, (2018) received excellent reviews and was followed up by ‘The Solemn Truth and Barefaced Lies’ which was nominated for the 2020 Blues and Roots Radio Best Album. Now living on his narrowboat on the River Avon, throughout the 1990’s Trevor lived and worked with the Shona people of Zimbabwe.
