About time too. “Amazing voice and great songs.” — Martin Carthy “Really gorgeous.” — Emily Pilbeam, BBC Introducing Raised in Leamington, now based in West Yorkshire, Zoe's intimate songs blend intricate fingerpicking, classical influences and emotionally resonant storytelling. Following her debut EP *Two Piano Songs*, she has shared stages with **Allegra Krieger**, **Helena Deland** and **Martin Carthy**, earning support from BBC Introducing and a growing reputation as a compelling live performer. She is currently preparing her debut album. In her early days Zoe played at Temperance several times as a support act or as one of several acts on folk nights. From the very first time, she was obviously a cut above. Her beguiling songs, beautiful voice and perfect arrangements tended to put everyone else in the shade. We're very pleased that she's finally agreed to come and play a headline set with us. Venue Phone: 01926 730102 Email: [email protected]

His fragile yet powerful vocals, evocative lyrics, and modern folk melodies have earned high praise from Gilles Peterson, Lauren Laverne, Jamz Supernova, Dean Jackson, Sian Eleri, Jamie Cullum, Tom Robinson, John Kennedy, Simon Phillips, and comedian and podcaster Adam Buxton. After a standing ovation at The Great Escape Festival, and with support from POWER UP, PRS Foundation, and Alberts Favourites, Matsiko set up his own label, ‘Really Good,’ to release his debut. Since its release, ‘The King Of Misery’ has received 4 stars in Mojo Magazine and Far Out Magazine, has been featured on several Spotify editorial playlists, been a headline feature on Bandcamp Weekly, and continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Matsiko also delivered an unforgettable performance and insightful interview on episode 215 of The Adam Buxton Podcast and gave a mesmerising live session at BBC Maida Vale for Gilles Peterson on BBC 6 Music. With every performance life affirming and memorable in equal measure, Matsiko is not to be missed live.
