About this event

The Brothers Gillespie is on Sunday 21 February 2027 at Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre Pub, London, with doors at 19:30. Tickets start at £11, including the booking fee.

Alt-folk troubadours, The Brothers Gillespie (siblings James and Sam Gillespie) are still something of a secret on the UK music scene, though not at Walthamstow, and they have a dedicated following scattered all over the land. Their music, with its fluid fingerstyle guitar and the glorious tones of their blood harmony, is renowned for its rich lyricism, spiritual heart and radical edge. They draw inspiration from many currents, including their traditional roots, lineages of romantic and mystical poets and time spent wandering the land, sleeping out in all weathers. They are modern bards with a wild muse.

Daria Kulesh & Dariush Kanani

Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre Pub · London

An enchanting new collaboration between “one of the finest fingerstyle guitarists of his generation” Dariush Kanani and “the voice of fairytales” Daria Kulesh – an evening of pure escapism into the music of Anne Briggs, Sandy Denny, Bert Jansch, and other folk greats. Dariush “captures the spirit of the great players like Bert Jansch and John Renbourn and makes it his own” (Gordon Giltrap) while Daria is “one of the finest voices on the present folk scene” (Mike Harding), and has been compared to both Sandy Denny and Loreena McKennitt. Join two accomplished artists – with intriguing foreign roots and a deep love of British folk – on a stirring and hypnotic musical odyssey of rare beauty.

Hannah James and Toby Kuhn

Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre Pub · London

In a journey through sound, texture, emotion and rhythm, Hannah and Toby navigate the paths of growth, discovery, darkness and light, exploring the dialog of cello, voice, accordion and foot percussion in new and unexpected ways.

The Kimberleys

Cabbage Patch Pub · Twickenham

The Kimberleys are Isobel and Jim Kimberley, a London-based duo whose music brings the rich traditions of British folk into vibrant, contemporary focus. Isobel, originally from Yorkshire, and Jim, an Essex native, first crossed paths through a shared love of songwriting and storytelling. Isobel’s early immersion in folk music - from the clubs of Yorkshire to sharing bills with icons like Dick Gaughan at university - laid the foundation for her artistic voice, further shaped by years spent in the USA. Jim, meanwhile, carved a path as a session drummer in London, with early ties to the folk scene that included a stint with the Albion Band. What began as a collaboration around Isobel’s original songs evolved into something deeper. While touring and recording that material, the pair often returned to traditional folk songs for their own enjoyment. It wasn’t long before that private passion became the centre of their creative world. A chance encounter at a friend’s birthday party with Cathy Lesurf (Fairport Convention, Fiddlers Dram) sparked a new direction - leading to their first folk album, Turn The Glass, featuring revered guests like Gordon Giltrap, Andy Cutting, and Dave S...

Ainsley Hamill

Water Rats · London

Ainsley Hamill is one of the UK’s most distinctive and versatile singers, known for her remarkable voice, storytelling, and emotive style. Hailing from the West Coast of Scotland, Ainsley has built a career celebrated for its authenticity, merging traditional Scottish folk with a modern touch. In 2025, Ainsley released her third studio album, Fable, produced by Sam Kelly. Drawing inspiration from Scottish folklore and myth, Fable combines Gaelic, Scots, and original compositions with a rich tapestry of sounds from musicians Alistair Iain Paterson, Toby Shaer, Signy Jakobsdottir and Euan Burton. Recorded in Glasgow, the album delves into the legends and landscapes of Scotland, with each track weaving a narrative that resonates with ancient stories and contemporary relevance. Her previous album, Not Just Ship Land (2021), named The Guardian’s Album of the Month, showcased her “voice thick with velvet and mirk,” likened to the warmth of The Breath and the forlorn depth of early Adele. Produced by Malcolm Lindsay, the album celebrates the unsung heroes of Govan and Glasgow, capturing Ainsley’s move into a more introspective and thematic songwriting style, with a focus on femi...
