    GUEST LIST FULL | Doors 18:45 | Live 19:15 | Finish 22:30

     

    Award-winning singer/songwriter Kirsten Adamson (daughter of rock legend Stuart Adamson (Big Country, Skids)) summons the same heart-stopping purity as Sandy Denny, by way of Emmylou Harris and Kate Bush, with an engaging mix of heartland Americana folk rock.

    Having recently finished recording Dreamviewer (follow-up to 2023’s critically acclaimed Landing Place), with award-winning producer/multi-instrumentalist Joe Harvey-Whyte, and impressed audiences and critics with sell-out tours, festivals and shows with Horse and Nazareth, 2025 Adamson creates some big waves.

    “Adamson knows how to hold a crowd in the palm of her hand, her vocals are clear and powerful, her songs are strong, she is an all round entertainer.” (The Writers Room)

    Jennifer Ness is a singer-songwriter and pianist whose melodic, piano-led songs explore love, loss, family, relationships and the passing of time. Combining warmth and wit with an emotional honesty that can catch an audience off guard, her songs have an almost instant familiarity, often leaving listeners feeling as though they’ve known them for years.

    After a successful career as an actress, Jennifer returned to a childhood love of songwriting following a period of profound personal change. Drawing on the classic singer-songwriter tradition of Carole King, Carly Simon and Billy Joel, her music combines intimate storytelling and memorable melodies with an emotionally direct and engaging live performance.

    Remarkably, Jennifer only began performing her original material in 2026, but in a matter of months has already begun to make her mark. She has appeared at First Light Festival, Ipswich Music Day and The Corn Hall, Diss, alongside a growing run of intimate songwriter shows across East Anglia.

    Her debut single, What If, was released in February 2026 and, just months into her career as an original artist, Jennifer has been nominated for Best Female Solo Artist at the 2026 NMG Awards. Her debut album, After the Fall, is due for release in 2027.

    “She has something very special. Her voice moves me in a way that not many do.”

    Joe Vegna, Sound Engineer

    “Jennifer’s songs make genuine, long-lasting connections with people… She had a room full of strangers engrossed with every syllable. I’m immersed in quality musicians and that rarely happens.”

    Brian McAllister, Owner, Banham Barrel
