John Bramwell of I Am Kloot, one of the UK's most cherished and revered songwriters, performs solo at The Globe at Hay.

John has been on a never-ending rolling adventure since his workings away from the cherished, Mercury Prize nominated Mancunian band,I Am Kloot. February 23rd 2024 marked the release of the acclaimed, sophomore album ‘The Light Fantastic‘.

‘A unique both literally and metaphorically’ – Lauren Laverne ‘My favourite songwriter of all time’ – Cate Blanchett [who chose Bramwell-penned ‘Proof’ as her Desert Island Disk on the BBC Radio 4 show] ‘The UK’s finest export’ New York Times ‘Bramwell’s new songs are spellbinding’ The Guardian

Lauded across the board, ‘The Light Fantastic‘ is a masterclass in emotionally charged and melodically driven tunes for the adventurous. “After both my Mum and Dad died, I started writing these songs to cheer myself up,” John admits with typical candour. “The themes are taken from my dreams at the time. Wake up and take whatever impression I had from what I could remember of my dream and write that.” Despite the sentiment, the songs are surprisingly uplifting and have been lighting up, and selling out, countless live shows across the country.

‘Wonderfully grown-up pop music delivered by an adept songwriter’ – 4* MOJO

‘A splendid solo set of sumptuous vocal harmonies’ – UNCUT

‘The regular harmonising with his cast of supporting musicians is especially beautiful’ CLASH

‘Bramwell goes for the kind of classic melody-rich songwriting reminiscent of Tim Hardin, Neil Young and other introspective types... this is hazy music with purpose, and very pretty with it’ – The Times, 4/5

2024 so far has already seen the Undercover Hippy smashing out a solo acoustic UK tour, followed by the full band "Gimme More" UK Tour, and then an extensive Germany Tour, and it's not even summer yet! But these guys just never stop, so after this summer's festival season is done, they will be heading back on the road for their autumn UK "A Bit Different" tour. They will be bringing their signature flavour of hip-hop and reggae infused protest songs and party anthems to a venue near you in October! Expect to be amazed, amused, and uplifted in equal measure as The Undercover Hippy and co. deliver their uniquely delicious audio offerings to your eardrums.

Described by Tom Robinson (BBC6Music) as being “like the love-child of Steel Pulse, Kate Tempest and The Sleaford Mods”, The Undercover Hippy’s music brings together powerful messages, infectious reggae rhythms, and a lyrical delivery that will get even the most hardened hip-hop head nodding in approval.

"MIND MELLOWING STUFF AND YOU CAN JUST HEAR HOW HER SURROUNDINGS HAVE INFLUENCED HER"
(RADIO1 CHILLEST SHOW // IFAN SION DAVIES)
“WRITTEN, PRODUCED, MIXED AND MASTERED BY AN OUTSTANDING ARTIST IN HER CARAVAN... MEET RONA MAC...” (BBCRADIO6 // TOM ROBINSON)
“RONA MAC CAN ONLY EVER BE HERSELF.HER MUSIC [IS] SHOT THROUGH WITH EXPERIENCE, HUMOUR, AND A SENSE OF SURVIVAL" (CLASH MAGAZINE)

Rona Mac’s grass-roots approach to music is tangible and real, and her live performance is both impressive and transformative. Having recently played support for Willy Mason, Billie Marten, Katy J Pearson, Bess Atwell and Dan Mangan, Rona Mac is beginning to get the recognition she deserves. A truly independent DIY, grass-roots artist from the most westerly tip of Wales, Mac is a prolific songwriter carving her own pathway as a queer alt-folk artist. 
She will be showcasing her new album ‘Honeymilk and Heavy Weather’ around 13 decentralised locations around the UK to move music away from big cities, as well as connecting with like-minded people. Could that be you?

Funded by PRS foundation, Help Musicians and Horizons Launchpad (Arts Council Wales), 'Honeymilk and Heavy Weather' is tenderly written for a lost friend, and her best work to date. For 3 years she has carved these 11 tracks with love, grief and determination, pulling everything into alignment with what lies at it's core. There's a dense and heavy story behind this Album, intertwined with themes of love, loss, mental illness, suicide and water. Mac uses the sounds of fire, rivers, ocean and wind amongst these tracks, as well as voice notes, spoken word, and all manner of strange and satisfying sounds. Always in-keeping with honest lyrics, strong melodies, harmonies and riffs that are a trademark of her work, getting her recognition on BBC’s Radio 1, 6 and Wales.

‘devotion, integrity, experience. All spinning as one’ Guardian
Keith James is probably one of the most active and well-loved musicians in the country.
His passionate solo performances have visited just about every Theatre and Arts Centre in
the UK as well as venues in Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Holland, Denmark and Norway. In
concert, Keith has always been a very unique and delicate performer, specialising in re-
interpreting the music of writers for whom he has always embraced a deep, life long, heart
felt belief: Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Cat Stevens – writing which has
both depth and a genuine sense of purpose.
These concerts, along with a 10 year sidestep during the ‘90s as a record producer, have
sustained Keith as an entirely independent musician since his initial Wine Bar circuit which
began in 1974.
Included in this concert will be many ‘stand out’ songs from his vast back catalogue of
concerts: Nick Drake’s Northern Sky, Leonard Cohen’s Suzanne, Joni Mitchell’s Big
Yellow Taxi, Cat Steven’s Moonshadow and Lorca’s El Mascaron, as well as many of
Keith’s own songs which have found their place on his list of original CD Albums across the
past decades.
This concert tour celebrates Keith’s 50 years in music and spans an entire year of 85
concerts all the way through to July 2025.

‘Anyone who remembers and longs for great songwriting, please listen to this’
How the light gets in.
‘I really enjoyed the Album! It has a haunting quality’
Ian Rankin
‘Brave enough to write the music he truly believes in’
Bob Harris OBE
‘This album more than earns its place in the gallery of old masters’
Mike Davies, Birmingham Radio
‘This album finds a creative and imaginative artist at the peak of his powers’

“Sings like a haunted angel” The Financial Times
“Utterly electric” Cerys Matthews
“Extraordinary” Mojo
“Indie-folk queen asserts her independence” Uncut
“Gently exquisite” The Observer

Indie-folk singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer Josienne Clarke is often said to draw on traditional British folk inspirations, but is a thoroughly modern, multifaceted artist who follows her own compass. Blessed with a voice of crystalline beauty and clarity that has been compared to Sandy Denny, her myriad talents translate effortlessly to the live space in performances that are all her own. She has extensive touring experience having been a Rough Trade-signed, Radio 2 Folk Award-winning artist –two opposing poles that neatly sum up her inability to be pigeonholed –and has also been hand-picked as main tour support for folk legend Richard Thompson. She’s shared a stage with Robert Plant and has written songs for an adaptation of The Snow Queen for the National Theatre. Her varied background and effortless musicality mean a cover of Radiohead is just as likely to appear on the setlist as Nick Drake, as on her recent “Now & Then” EP live–hence she’s been able to slot seamlessly into the bill of the Shrewsbury Folk Festival as easily as that of End of the Road.As well as being a guitarist and vocalist of alarmingly good quality, her unforgettably dark wit also acts as compelling counterpoint to her own twilit, low-key and intimate compositions when playing live. Clarke’s rare authenticity –really the main unifying thread running through her career –is something to admire: here is an artist singularly unafraid to express herself via her art and is naturally armed with all the verve and ability to do so –and bring the audience with her.

Charlie Dore - The Man Who Built Christmas Tour
From the celebrated singer & songwriter of worldwide hits

Playing with the stellar multi-instrumentalist Julian Littman

Charlie Dore’s songs have been recorded by the good and the great including George Harrison, Tina Turner, Celine Dion, Martha Wainwright, Jimmy Nail and Ricky Ross, but her live shows reveal that she keeps the best songs for herself.

In a career of several decades, this multi-award-winner realised she had never written a Christmas song. Proving that there’s a first time for everything Charlie Dore presents her live show - The Man Who Built Christmas. Alongside her long-time collaborator Julian Littman of Steeleye Span the pair swap guitars, piano, harmonium, mandolin, ukulele and stories as they showcase these yuletide originals as well as favourites from the past nine albums and several songs never before heard live.

“My entire catalogue was a Christmas-free zone, which was fine by me. Except for one song, Santa and Edie, which I wrote for the Green Note’s Festive Show. This whet my appetite for approaching the whole Christmas thing from different angles, trying for unusual plots, like making miniature movies with the listener behind the camera.”

As one of the UK’s most respected songwriters her albums, described as ‘eclectic contemporary folk-americana with crunchy lyrics’ continue to win awards on both sides of the Atlantic, most recently Female Vocalist Of The Year (FATEA, 2020) and Best Lyrics (Like Animals, US Indie Acoustic, 2021). Charlie has also played major festivals including Glastonbury, Celtic Connections, Cropredy, Shrewsbury Folk and Ventnor and headlined some of the UK’s most prestigious venues including Kings Place and Liverpool Philharmonic. 

Recent live sessions for Mark Radcliffe (BBC Radio 2) playing + co-hosting for Ricky Ross’/Another Country (BBC Radio Scotland) as well as an inclusion on Ken Bruce’s final BBC show prove Charlie’s relevance and ability to capture the imagination of an increasing audience. She’s also recently collaborated with Michelle Stodart of The Magic Numbers and rising folk star Katie Spencer. 

“…earnest and witty, tender and cynical all at the same time… profound, moving and oddly haunting.” RnR Magazine 

“Subtle songs that pack a punch… absolute gems of modern songwriting.” Mike Harding

“.. one of our most intelligent and erudite singer-songwriters.” Fatea Magazine

“ …her dark wit sculpts her lovely lyricism her gentle, unique voice is one to die for.” Folk Wales

Hay Shantymen first came together in 2016 and are united by strong friendships, a love of singing, the sea and good beer - not necessarily in that order.  They make a welcome return to the Globe for another early Christmas celebration.

Their roots might be on the banks of the River Wye but the Hay Shantymen travel across the country singing traditional shanties and other foot-stomping seafaring songs. Among their recent highlights are Hay Festival, Falmouth and Bristol and Port Isaac Shanty Festivals, and Latitude.  Wherever they go, audiences are captivated by their powerful harmonies and infectious sense of fun.

If you have seen them live, you will be aware that they take their fundraising very seriously. To date they have raised nearly £15,000 for their chosen charity, the RNLI.

This promises to be lively evening and tickets will sell fast.

This Winter Solstice join multi award-winning contemporary folk artists Jackie Oates and John Spiers for a heart-warming festive concert, perfect for the Christmas season and the night of the winter solstice. Their brand new album, ‘A Midwinter’s Night’ will be released just in time for the tour and will be available to purchase on CD, alongside other seasonal merchandise and gifts. The duo perform traditional seasonal music including Christmas carols and tunes from England and beyond; audiences particularly appreciate Jackie and John’s music as a beautiful and joyful antidote to the materiality that can be a feature of this time of year.

‘Oates & Spiers left the gaudy, commercialised crass-ness at home … theirs is a Christmas for all’  Bristol 24/7

Jackie Oates is a mainstay of English traditional music and regarded as one of the country’s best loved folk performers. ‘There’s a sweetness and melancholy to her voice that is like no other, and for which there is no known formula with which to replicate it.’ (Songlines). John Spiers, known better in folk circles as Squeezy, is one of the top melodeon players in the UK and is well known for his long-standing duo partnership with Jon Boden in Spiers & Boden as well as his contribution to the massively popular Bellowhead.
