An evening with Alastair Gordon at Cafe No9

Event information

Alastair Gordon will be launching the new single "Promenade" - taken off his forthcoming debut album, set for release in 2026. Since first performing original material on the Berlin open mic scene in his late teens, Alastair's voice has been shaped into a rich baritone through years of busking and a creative approach to guitar and harmonica have been shaped by adventurous listening habits. The clearest influences include Nick Drake, Charlie Parr and Joni Mitchell. Narrative and character-driven lyrics often tackle unconventional subject matter and reflect a life split between South Yorkshire and North Saxony.

"Off kilter quirky baritone - that's a very difficult style to pull off. Alastair absolutely nails it." Christian Carlisle, BBC Sheffield.

"Channeling the great Cohen through a Divine Comedy filter" Folk My Life

"A mean right hand" Jon Coley, Mercury-nominated guitarist
