Event information

Adam Beattie makes his debut at the Kalamazoo - and, it must be said, not before time!

This brilliant London-based Scot has been captivating audiences everywhere for 20 years with his gentle, haunting songs of love and loss.

Superlatives come thick and fast for an artist steeped in the folk tradition of his homeland and who is a proud member of 12-piece supergroup Band of Burns, an international ensemble casting a new light on the work of Scotland's national poet.

"Incredibly beautiful," said BBC Radio6 Music's Mary Anne Hobbs. "Fantastic," said Bob Harris and the verdict from Loud and Quiet magazine on the latest of his five acclaimed solo albums was "mesmeric."

Just describing him as a singer-songwriter doesn't come close. As Americana UK puts it: "Beattie's arrangements, finger-picking acoustic guitar and distinctive vocals make short work of any such labelling as he throws jazz and blues into the folk mix and produces songs of great originality drawn from experience and observation of the human condition."
