Anna Westin and Hughie Gavin live at Rosslyn Court

Event information

Anna Westin’s music fuses folk, electronic and experimental music, producing a raw and unique sound. Anna’s nordic vocals are often intertwined with spoken word poetry. As songwriter and poet, she has also produced scores for several British short films and has played in North America and the Middle East, performing at many well known music venues throughout the UK. Currently based between the Canadian East Coast, and London, UK, Anna has worked with artists such as Voka Gentle’s Ellie and Imogen Mason (Mara Simpson), Marcus Hamblett (Villagers, James Holden, The Staves, This is the Kit), Rob Pemberton (The Staves, Rachel Dadd, Willie Mason) and Joanne Clara (Roo Panes) among others. Anna is currently working with Hughie Gavin (JAKL, Manners McDade) to release a new EP in late 2024.
Hughie Gavin is a composer, arranger, producer and musical director based in Margate. His work has included commissions for the 2019 Turner Prize as well as multiple choral collaborations with Universal Records, Ninja Tune, City Slang, Sub Pop, Moshi Moshi Records, as well as sound artist Yuri Suzuki. From Institute Studios in Margate he leads both a contemporary vocal ensemble Institute Collective and The Social Singing Choir.

Born into a musical family, Hughie’s father is internationally acclaimed opera singer Julian Gavin. He first studied music under his grandmother, composer Val Gavin and was later classically trained as a choral scholar at the London Oratory School. As a songwriter he has worked extensively throughout Europe with international artists. Aside from his successful career as a writer, his unique voice also makes him in demand as a featured vocalist. He performs as JAKL.
Rosslyn Court
Expect a small, seated, friendly, quirky, listening venue with a heart – we have a tiny bar selling beer, wine, cider and hot and cold drinks -nibbly stuff and always a cake. The venue is accessible, on one level. You will be seated at tables or in rows, according to numbers in the audience. If you need to use your phone for texting or lyrics, please turn the brightness of your phone down and consider sitting near the back to minimise the impact.
The first hour of concerts is livestreamed on YouTube. You can watch it any time after 7.30 on the night of the concert via the Rosslyn Court Website. There is an exclusive second set for the audience in the room, including a Q&A with the performers. We ask you to make a donation, please, when you watch the livestream to help us to continue this service.
In buying a ticket you are entered for the Rosslyn Court raffle. You may win a CD …or a “Who Gives A Crap” emergency toilet roll! WGAC donate half their profits to water charities and are plastic free. People who donate or engage with the live chat during the concert are also entered into the raffle.
There is usually a floor singer and often a 2-minute community slot informing us of what happens locally. The second half starts with a Q&A and is not livestreamed. If you think of something you want to know more about in the first half, just ask! Sometimes there is another floor song.
The concerts usually finish well before 10. Except for Tim Edey because he is unstoppable. (We also run a B&B here hahaha)
If you want to view the livestream after midnight of the concert date then go to the livestream option on the website where all the old livestreams live.
Tickets are usually £12. We have a few at £6 and some at £18 to help us to subsidise the concessionary tickets. Sometimes tickets are more.
