Event information

Some music asks to be heard in a special kind of space.

Memorial is an alt-folk duo formed by songwriters Jack Watts and Oliver Spalding, known for their delicate, harmony-rich sound and evocative storytelling. Their lyrics explore the quiet complexity of inner life, uncovered through honest, open songwriting.

With two beautiful albums to their name, they've toured alongside Anaïs Mitchell, Christian Lee Hutson and The Staves , and their understated yet deeply moving performances have earned them fans everywhere they've played.

Catch them in the intimate surroundings of Goldfinch Books: a perfect setting for music this carefully made.

For fans of Sufjan Stevens, Adrianne Lenker and The Milk Carton Kids.

Tickets: £15 advance, £17 on the door.
