About This Event

Following the sell-out full band tour marking twenty-five years since his debut album, Tom McRae brings his career-spanning solo show to intimate venues this Autumn — an evening of live music and storytelling that moves between the beloved and the overlooked, with the wit and honesty that has made him one of Britain's most enduring singer-songwriters — alone on stage with a guitar and a catalogue that has quietly accumulated some of the finest songs in British folk and alternative music. McRae's critically acclaimed debut earned him nominations for the Mercury Prize, a Q Award and the BRIT Award for Best Newcomer. In the quarter century since, he has built one of the most quietly devoted audiences in British music across ten albums — from Just Like Blood and The Alphabet of Hurricanes to his most recent record Étrange Hiver — while resisting every fashion that might have made him more famous and every shortcut that might have made him less himself. This evening draws from the full breadth of that catalogue. Expect the songs you know by heart, a few you'd half forgotten, and the candid, witty storytelling between them that makes a Tom McRae show feel less like a concert and more like a long conversation with someone who has been paying close attention to the world.
