About this event

PETER BRUNTNELL is on Saturday 5 December 2026 at The Swiss Cottage, Twyford, with doors at 19:30. Tickets start at £18.70, including the booking fee.

Pete will perform two sets in the Swiss Cottage. The sets promise to be a mixture of the old and the very new as Pete road tests a new song or two prior to his new album in early 2027. Pete has been riding high since the success of his last album, Houdini and The Sucker Punch, which scooped the AUK album of the year 2024 despite Pete describing it thus: “This one is not very Americana, to be accurate. It’s more sort of poppy stuff. For instance, I’m a huge Smiths fan. I was trying to make some of the chord progressions a little bit more like theirs rather than Neil Young-like. Although Neil Young is a massive influence, so he’ll always creep in there somewhere. But so is Nick Drake. So, I’m trying to keep it a bit more English, just where I’m from, and I like a lot of English music as well as the American.” This is a house concert with no bar but you are welcome to bring your own drinks.

BLAIR DUNLOP

The Swiss Cottage · Twyford

Award-winning singer-songwriter Blair Dunlop will release his sixth studio album, What Still Survives, on 30 October 2026 via Navigator Records. Produced by acclaimed producer Ian Grimble (Mumford & Sons, Travis, Bear's Den, Seth Lakeman), the album finds Dunlop at his most reflective, resilient and assured, exploring the enduring power of songs, stories and human connection. Since emerging with his BBC Radio 2 Folk Award-winning debut Blight and Blossom in 2012, Dunlop has established himself as one of the UK's most respected contemporary songwriters. Still only in his early thirties, he arrives at album six with a catalogue defined by craftsmanship, curiosity and an unwavering commitment to the song itself. At the heart of What Still Survives lies a meditation on endurance—what remains after upheaval, what survives the passage of time, and what continues to connect us. Throughout the record, Dunlop reflects on the creative forces that shaped him, from the British folk tradition he grew up within, to the great songwriters of America's West Coast. His affection for the art form is evident in lines such as, "All the songs I listen to were wrote in Pasadena, if I rip off another on...
