A Different Thread

Green Note · London

Some things are just meant to be. Alicia Best (US) and Robert Jackson (UK) met while busking on the cobbled streets of Ireland and discovered both a musical and personal harmony that was serendipitous. In the decade since forming A Different Thread, Best and Jackson have taken their act on the road, touring over a dozen countries, supporting artists such as Milk Carton Kids and Jody Stephens (Big Star), and garnering critical praise from the likes of Folk Radio UK, which hailed the duo as “warm, deep songwriters that have drank from the well of 20th century tradition.” Their sound is transcontinental, blending Jackson's British folk rock background with Best's North Carolina-bred alt-country melodies. Informed by their life experiences (navigating visas, vanlife, love across oceans) and liberal commentary on both environmental and social justice topics. While inspired by artists like Gillian Welch, The Avett Brothers, and John Prine, A Different Thread maintain a distinct sound that is all their own.

With a voice that “could melt icebergs at 50 paces” (VOX), Briana Corrigan of The Beautiful South has returned to the stage after a 10-year hiatus with five hugely successful and largely sold-out tours throughout the UK and Ireland already completed, a new album in the pipeline and a series of brand new gigs lined up for the rest of 2026. Belfast born Corrigan is best known for delivering Beautiful South’s most successful single, the chart topping, #1, Brit- Award winning ‘A Little Time’ where her unique vocal -“one of the most distinctive voices in pop” (Time Out)- and Paul Heaton’s brilliantly acerbic lyrics and catchy melody combined to create an unforgettable anthem to broken love. As a songwriter in her own right, Corrigan has released two critically acclaimed solo albums, enjoying accolades from the likes of Q magazine, “her forte.... chest hugging, breast beating balladry of the highest calibre”; “A revelation!” (Melody Maker); “a songwriter of wit and elegance” (Hot Press), “It’s like listening to someone sing you a story. The rain outside is drifting along the glass and this is a good soundtrack to the tale of its falling” (Melody Maker)....
