Event: LILY LYONS & ESSY SPARROW - 8pm - an evening of live music with Lily Lyons and Essy Sparrow. Lily Lyons is a London-born singer-songwriter crafting tender, deeply introspective folk songs that find poetry in the quiet, everyday moments of life. For Lily Lyons, music feels like hope - or perhaps, possibility. Growing up split between London and Somerset, making weekly eight hour drives across the country between the base she knew with her mother and the faraway town her father had left for, she remembers the comfort of the car stereo on the open road. Essy Sparrow is a multi-disciplinary artist and songwriter creating gossip-filled nostalgic indie folk from her coastal studio in Cornwall. In 2025 she played Boardmasters with BBC Introducing, supported Tors and Semler, joined Lily Lyons in opening for The Staves and sold out her 200-cap London headline at St Mary with All Souls.

Event: VERA VAN HEERINGEN - 8pm - It’s unusual to find someone who’s as good a songwriter as an instrumentalist. Vera van Heeringen is that person. Firmly rooted in transatlantic traditions, her original contemporary Folk/Americana music showcases both these skills: Poignant, emotionally astute songwriting and firebrand instrumental virtuosity. In September 2019, Vera released her third album, Won’t be Broken, whichgot rave reviews and has been described by the press as her best one yet.
