Country That's Sweet And Sombre In Equal Measure

A masterclass in the timeless art of American roots music! Performing alongside longtime musical partner and guitarist David Rawlings, American singer-songwriter Gillian Welch's voice is as distinctive as her folksy songwriting. Her nostalgic and feel-good bluegrass, country music is hugely evocative of times gone by. And you'll probably recognize more of her songs than you think. In particular her sweet-and-sombre song, 'I'll Fly Away' which featured heavily in the cult Americana film, O Brother Where Are Though?

Welch's uncanny ability to weave together narratives of hardship and hope has made her a peer to legends, creating a live environment that is as hushed and reverent as a cathedral. To see her live is a profoundly moving experience, even if the sheer heartbreak in her lyrics sometimes makes you want to go home and give your dog a hug. Don't miss seeing this icon of American music live on stage!
