About this event

Sam Carter is on Sunday 15 November 2026 at Poppy and Pint, Nottingham, with doors at 19:00. Tickets start at £15.40, including the booking fee.

Midlands-born Sam Carter is a BBC Folk Award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist. Known for his lyrical storytelling, Uncut once described his songs as being "as penetrating as Richard Thompson's best work". Carter's expressive fingerpicking led Jon Boden of Bellowhead to call him "the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation", while Ivor Novello-winner Nitin Sawhney has praised his "killer voice". With a discography that spans six solo albums and two releases with the folk-rock band False Lights, Carter's music reflects a blend of traditional English folk, shape-note singing, and rock.

Kitewing

Poppy and Pint · Nottingham

This unique collaboration draws from the strengths of two of the UK’s most highly regarded folk acts: The Shackleton Trio and Christina Alden & Alex Patterson. With a shared passion for thoughtful songwriting and intricate arrangements, Kitewing brings a fresh and powerful voice to the contemporary folk scene, rooted in tradition but unafraid to explore new ground. Expect soaring harmonies and roaring fiddles, blending guitar, mandolin, and banjo. For our December concert we are promised a 'festive show'; repertoire will be a mixture of traditional carols, self penned seasonal material with an environmental leaning, seasonal tunes, and re-workings of some East Anglian carols. There will also be a handful of material that is performed year round in the set.

blods · Bexhill

Two - shall we say ...

But now joined by a newcomer on the Bexhill jazz breakfast scene Sally BAYLY. Jazz Breakfasts are something of a tradition on the South Coast with a long history. Various people have tried to copy the format but the original still reigns supreme! Come along and enjoy this inspirational concert.

Olivia Trummer

Divinity School Lecture Theatre · Cambridge

Pianist, singer and composer Olivia Trummer brings her singular artistry, described by Jazzwise as “a joy: eclectic, illuminating and uplifting”, to Cambridge Jazz Festival in an intimate concert of originals, jazz and popular song refreshed with classical allusions and flowing style. Classically-trained, Olivia Trummer impresses equally as a virtuosic pianist, singer, composer and improviser. Her exceptional talent and musical approach have led her to sharing the stage with Kurt Rosenwinkel, Eric Clapton and Bobby McFerrin, performing at festivals like Montreux and Umbria Jazz and at London's Ronnie Scotts. This concert she performs from her solo album "Like Water“, recorded in New York by Russ Titelman (who has worked with many major artists including the Beach Boys, Chaka Kahn and George Harrison), offering songs in English, Italian and German that flow naturally from a classical prelude to a deconstructed jazz standard. Beethoven and Bach blend seamlessless with Stevie Wonder, Sting and Jerome Kern. Olivia's own songs are touching, uplifting and daring, and her scat singing, in perfect unity with the piano, has been compared to George Benson and his guitar. "A lot of jazz...
