Two incredible artists join us at Notes at The Old Market on 9 June.

London-born troubadour Nik Barrell brings his rich blend of folk, country and blues, shaped by years spent travelling the world and gathering stories, sounds and collaborators along the way. Expect uplifting songs, beautiful musicianship and the kind of set you can truly settle into.

Joining him is the acclaimed Astrid Williamson — former frontwoman of Goya Dress, whose debut album was produced by John Cale of Velvet Underground. Across a remarkable 30-year career, Astrid has collaborated with artists including Johnny Marr, Bernard Sumner and Lisa Gerrard, while carving out a singular sound of her own. Her latest record, Shetland Suite, was named Mojo Magazine’s #1 Folk Album of 2024.

An unforgettable evening of songwriting, storytelling and atmosphere awaits, all hosted by the one and only Sylvie Lewis.

9 June, see you there!
