About this event

Olivia Rafferty / Lily Monaghan / Mallory Chipman is on Tuesday 15 December 2026 at The Banshee Labyrinth, Edinburgh, with doors at 19:00. Tickets start at £14.30, including the booking fee.

With powerful voices built to echo through their expansive prairie homeland of western Canada, esteemed folk singer-songwriters Mallory Chipman & Lily Monaghan return to the UK to team up with Scottish singer-songwriter Olivia Rafferty for one night only at Banshee’s Labyrinth. Olivia Rafferty “Olivia’s songs are Wes Andersonia for the ears” — Findlay Napier Olivia Rafferty is a songwriter hailing from North-East Scotland. Her debut EP Hurricane saw her featured on BBC Radio Scotland and Folk Radio UK, as well as a tour spearheaded by a showcase at Inverness’ Eden Court. Her last name may be familiar to some, as Olivia shares her family tree with ‘Baker Street’ songwriter Gerry Rafferty. Growing up on a diet of power-pop and Americana, she started songwriting under the influence of troubadours such as Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen, although her sound came into focus through the indie-folk catalog of her 2000’s iTunes library, with artists such as Regina Spektor played on repeat. What results are songs that hum with an Americana warmth, yet playfully sparkle with unlikely subject matter and the occasional Casio keyboard cameo. oliviarafferty.com Mallory Chip...

An evening with John Kirkpatrick at Cafe No9

JOHN KIRKPATRICK The Solo Christmas Show “CAROLLING & CRUMPETS” Taking its title from John’s unforgettable song telling the Nativity story from the point of view of the animals in the stable, this show is a heart-warming look at the timeless rituals found in the folklore and folk music of England at Midwinter. John peels away the commercial gloss of modern Christmas to reveal the powerful pagan urges that race through us all at this time of year, and the life and death struggle that is symbolised in so many traditional songs and customs. And if that all sounds just a little too intense, then rest assured that the mysterious and murky goings-on in these magical songs of wassailing, wren-hunting, stirring the fire, and incessant feasting, all come dressed up in a glittering finery of toe-tapping tunes and cracking choruses. Add to the mixture a light-hearted smattering of hilarious original songs, a sprinkling of carols both familiar and unfamiliar, all stirred up with John’s usual panache and energy, and supported by his scintillating skill on a variety of squeeze-boxes, and you have an unbeatable recipe for having a rattling good sing, guaranteed to keep the spirits cheery...
