Food is available at the venue for a pre-show meal ** GREEN NOTE PRESENTS - KIRSTEN ADAMSON : Award winning singer/songwriter Kirsten Adamson (daughter of rock legend Stuart Adamson (Big Country, Skids)) summons the same heart stopping purity as Sandy Denny, by way of Emmylou Harris and Kate Bush, with an engaging mix of heartland Americana folk rock. Having recently finished recording Dreamviewer (follow up to 2023’s critically acclaimed Landing Place), with award winning producer/multi-instrumentalist Joe Harvey-Whyte, and impressed audiences and critics with sell-out tours, festivals and shows with Horse and Nazareth, 2025 is set to be the year Adamson creates some big waves. “Adamson knows how to hold a crowd in the palm of her hand, her vocals are clear and powerful, her songs are strong, she is an all round entertainer.” (The Writers Room) “An album to savour.” Americana UK “Adamson's exquisite album of Americana is a must-listen” (At The Barrier) "Exceptional" (AmericanaUK.com) '" talent to watch" (NoDepression) “I could listen to Adamson’s voice all day every day, it’s angelic” Maverick Magazine “Recalling the late Nanci Griffith... with an added edge” R2 Magazine Nominated UK Song Of The Year Americana UK Awards 2024 Winner Fife Champions Music Award 2023 Official Celtic Connections Showcase Scotland Artist 2023 Official AMA UK Festival Showcase Artist 2023 Support from DAVE BURN : London singer-songwriter Dave Burn has been playing in bands since he was 13, and he just can’t shake the bug. A pioneer of UK alt-country, he co-founded the harmony-heavy ahab with Callum Adamson, and later joined indie Americana ‘supergroup’ Orphan Colours. Along with two solo albums - 2017’s Arizona and 2025’s Medium Dave + Friends - he also records as duo The Marriage with Kirsten Adamson and has written songs with Danny & The Champions Of The World, Blair Dunlop, Danni Nicholls, Benjamin Folke Thomas, Katzenjammer, Sol Heilo. Burn’s music takes elements of Brit folk artists such as Richard Thompson and American singer-songwriters from Tim Rose to Tom Petty, then blends them with the sound of classic London indie bands and UK Americana, topped off with literary, twisting lyrics examining both life’s biggest questions and its most fascinating ordinary moments.
Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
