Amelia Coburn

The Square Tower · Portsmouth

“Coburn is a literate folk-goth, her songs flicker in the moonlight, they look longingly through the mist…” (B24/7) Amelia Coburn has a knack for making the unusual sound timeless. Her honest, occasionally hilarious and quintessentially north-eastern persona disarms and beguiles in equal measure. Drawing inspiration from gothic literature and the shadowy allure of film noir, there is a darkness at the heart of many of her songs, populated by vivid characters and nocturnal creatures that inhabit the liminal space “between the moon and the milkman”. “Songs that feel like centuries old fairy tales..” (Shindig Magazine) A sold-out solo headline UK tour in early 2026 solidified her burgeoning reputation, with slots alongside Paul Weller, Suzanne Vega and The Proclaimers showcasing Amelia’s sound to ever increasing audiences.
