Gratis – our series of free entry shows – returns, with Sophie Jamieson, celebrating the release of her second album!

Sophie Jamieson is a London-based singer-songwriter, known for delivering uncomfortably honest songs direct to the heart. Her career began on the 2012 London new-folk scene and spans initial early success, a breakdown, a withdrawal from music for many years followed by a comeback which culminated with her debut album, Choosing, being released on Bella Union Records, 10 years after she first emerged.

Sophie’s experience of these ups and downs can be heard in her deep, raw voice which pivots from wobbling vulnerability to soaring, pent-up longing unleashed. Committed to releasing the deepest corners of her humanity on the stage in the most uncompromising way, this has not gone unnoticed over the years while she has opened for the likes of Father John Misty, Ezra Furman and Marika Hackman to name a few. Choosing received widespread critical acclaim for its candid examination of the self-destructive urge, with high praise from the likes of Uncut, Mojo and The Financial Times.

Her second LP, I still want to share, will be released on Bella Union in January 2025. A record of flourished ambition, intricate song-writing, expanded heart and deepened voice, Sophie is not slowing down in her commitment to hold nothing back, to face the ugly longings of the human race with love, curiosity and acceptance.

Special guest is Rosie Miles. Alt-folk singer-songwriter Rosie Miles is a storyteller whose soaring melodies and poetic lyrics serve as her ink and pen. ‘A gifted and charismatic songwriter’ (Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6), inspired by Joni Mitchell, Madison Cunningham and Laura Marling, her music dances effortlessly between the worlds of indie, folk and jazz, evoking a welcome nostalgia of the 70s songwriter movement. Rosie’s deeply personal and peculiar style guarantees a night of tears, laughter and classic songwriting.

This show takes place at Low Four – a recording studio situated on Deansgate Mews in the Great Northern warehouse. This intimate venue features a Cloudwater bar.

This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
