Event information

Emily Slade is one of Britain's foremost female fingerstyle guitarists. Emily took up the acoustic guitar at the age of nine, making her stage debut that same year. At eighteen, Emily studied English and Education at Cambridge University. During her final year she launched her record label ‘Rustic Thorn Records’ to release a limited edition EP called ‘Small Talk’. Her debut album, ‘Shire Boy’, followed, gaining a BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award nomination for best newcomer. Emily took to the road, promoting the album by travelling internationally, carving out a staggering reputation amongst fellow musicians and support at grassroots level from the audiences at her concerts.

The partnership between her intricate guitar playing and enchanting vocals are rarely found in one person, making Emily an enthralling performer. She is a woman quite clearly at ease with her audience. Her winning personality and presence have endeared her to audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.

Emily will be joined by Chris Fox.

Award winning 21st Century contemporary singer-songwriter Chris Fox is
an independent musician spanning the roots lexicon of Folk, Americana,
Country and Blues. A genre defying troubadour, audiences are enthralled
by his rich vocals, complex guitar playing, and loop pedal alchemy finding
Chris to be humorous & thought provoking in equal measures. His
naturally laid back, unostentatious style creates the perfect ambience for
an intimate and inclusive live experience drawing listeners in with tales of
the everyday and the unexpected.

Chris released his first album ‘From the Shadows’ in 2019. Then in
September ’22 Chris released his second album ‘In Plain Sight’ to critical
acclaim. His music over the years has been aired widely both
internationally and on radio stations across the UK including BBC Radio
and has seen press support from titles such as Folk Radio UK, RnR
magazine, Irish Music Magazine and AmericanaUK, while gaining a
nomination for Best Male Artist of the Year from FATEA, 2023.
