Jason McNiff returns to The Cafe with a new show that brings together the songs of Leonard Cohen with his own deeply lyrical work.

Songs of Love, Loss and Light places McNiff’s acclaimed songwriting alongside that of the Canadian master, tracing the thread between influence and originality, and offering a rare glimpse into the enduring art of songcraft.

Jason McNiff is a troubadour who has made eight albums which people call Folk, or Americana, or Alt. Country. There is an Englishness in his guitar playing however, and you might like to think of Bert Jansch or Wizz Jones meeting John Prine & Townes Van Zandt. Time Out writes, 'McNiffs intimate, fragile-sounding vocals draw you into his world, an almost timeless place, through which he drifts, a romantic loner, a dreamer, at home with the blues.' He is often touted as one of the UKs most overlooked musical treasures, as a songwriter and fingerstyle guitarist. His latest album 'Dust of Yesterday' came out in 2021 and was album of the week in The Times. In 2025, he was voted best male artist at Fatea magazine

'An Immense talent' Janice Long, BBC Radio 2.
