Don't miss this one-night-only show from emerging indie folk artist Marianne Joyce (featured on BBC Introducing, Americana UK & more)

“There’s something special about Marianne.” - BBC Introducing in the South West

Just a year after stepping onto the Barbican Theatre bar stage for her first open mic, emerging songwriter & musician Marianne Joyce will return to the same stage - but this time for her very first headline show (backed by a full band!).

Expect rich indie folk arrangements of her debut EP Every Cloud (to be released in September), as well as some brand new songs, and a few fun surprises.

Hailing from the edge of Dartmoor, Marianne Joyce is an indie folk musician whose songwriting offers a fresh perspective on love and grief while exploring South West stories, queerness, and a bit of life's absurdity. Blending vivid storytelling, folk-inspired melodies, and sharp lyricism, she writes songs you didn't know you'd been waiting to hear.

Support from Bristol-based alt-folk artist Old Moll.

Note: this will be a standing show at the Bar Stage at the Barbican Theatre. Seats can be added for accessibility purposes, please email mariannejoycemusic@gmail.com with any accessibility needs.
