Nell Bryden

Event information

Audience favourite Nell Bryden is back with a new and deeply personal album: "I Love You So Much I'm Blind." Putting a raw spin on her American blues and soul roots, Nell's latest tour-de-force shows off her gorgeously rich and emotional voice.

A New York songwriter who bravely shares her vulnerabilities, it feels like she is singing just for you. After years of struggling with heartbreak and infertility, Nell leads us through her journey of acceptance and redemption, which played out in real time as she postponed last years tour during a long-awaited and miraculous pregnancy. Now, with her baby boy in tow, she returns to the road to tour "I Love You So Much I'm Blind," her most emotionally powerful record to date.

Later Youth

Since fronting Manchester indie-folk favourites The Travelling Band, Jo Dudderidge has built a reputation as a sought-after producer, songwriter and session musician, working with an impressive roster of artists including Victoria Canal, Chloe Foy, Rose Gray, Stephen Fretwell, Human Interest, Joyeria, Bette Smith, and longtime collaborator Lissie.

Debut album Living History is the culmination of what has been both a cathartic and a celebratory process. It's a bold statement with a distinctive character. Sure, parallels with his previous work exist, but it occupies a universe of its own, sonically centred on Dudderidge's signature Wurlitzer electric piano and unmistakable voice, blending raw, heart-on-sleeve lyricism with a fresh, idiosyncratic style veering from krautrock to alt-country.

There are songs about nights that turned into mornings, heartaches rescued by a harem of Venezuelans, romanticising the myths of past loves, facing mortality, running away from yourself while dreaming of reconciling with the love of your life. It's nostalgic, but not in a way that wants to go back — more like holding something up to the light to understand it better.
