*This is a seated show with all seating unreserved*
Chris Brain is a Yorkshire-based folk singer-songwriter whose work sits firmly in the British pastoral tradition, shaped by close attention to place, memory and emotional nuance. His fourth album, Red Sun Rising (2026), is a quietly powerful collection of songs centred on yearning, restlessness and the desire for change
Rooted in acoustic textures and intimate storytelling, Red Sun Rising feels like a record made in motion: landscapes shifting, seasons turning, inner lives gently unsettled. Brain’s songwriting balances melody and restraint.
A familiar voice on BBC Radio 6 Music and the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show, Chris Brain has toured extensively across the UK and internationally, including a seven-date sold-out tour of Japan. In 2026, he returns with a UK & Ireland tour to accompany the release of Red Sun Rising.
'There are shades of the master Ralph McTell here and I can think of no greater compliment than that, I love It.'
Mark Radcliffe, BBC 2 Folk Show
'Yorkshire singer songwriter Brain consistently impresses with his third album.'
**** Daily Express
'Contemporary folk song at its finest'

Marnie Glum is an instant joy - an immaculate blend of the unexpected and the wholly satisfying. Her songs weave intricate guitar arrangements through unusual structures, exploring universal themes with sharp wit and calm introspection.
Recognised for her work by BBC Introducing and recent festivals such as Live at Leeds and Humber Street Sesh, as well as supporting the likes of Willie J Healey and Katy Kirby, Marnie leaves no ear unpricked and no room unmoved. Having cemented herself as a firm favourite up north, Marnie is now bringing her “time-stopping” live performances to a growing fanbase across the country.
