David DuchovnyUnion Chapel · N1
David Duchovny has spent the last decade steadily building a body of work as a songwriter and recording artist, working with a small and dedicated group of musicians and friends. On Prince of Pieces, his fourth album, that dedication and those longtime relationships come together to create his most cohesive, collaborative and intimate work yet. Duchovny’s work across film, television, writing and music reflects a broader creative drive that has taken shape over time. He has authored multiple books, hosts the podcast “Fail Better” and tours globally, with songwriting remaining a consistent part of his output. As the Telegraph notes, he’s a “likeable polymath [who] delivers some fine, weighty songs.” “Music and art can lead you to some pretty interesting places,” admits Colin Lee, one of a trio of musicians (alongside Mitchell Stewart and Pat McCusker) who have been a part of Duchovny’s musical journey since his debut album, 2015’s Hell or Highwater. “We all have a lot of fun playing together, and David’s lyrics paint a lot of cool imagery.” More Information: For Accessibility, please click here.

Green Note Presents…Eddi ReaderUnion Chapel · N1
Celebrating over 40 years as a live performer, Eddi Reader has effortlessly developed into one of popular music’s most thrilling and affecting performers. What sets Eddi apart is the depth and quality of the emotional performance and ability to not only move the listener, but connect her experience to that of her audience. Though first brought into the limelight as front woman for Fairground Attraction, who’s #1 single, Perfect and parent album, First of a Million Kisses, both topped the charts, it was Eddi’s subsequent solo albums that signalled her ability to assimilate different musical styles and make them very much her own. With her work in song, from the traditional to the contemporary, Eddi Reader extinguishes the preordained boundaries of genre, bringing joyous life to all forms. Her rare blend of meltingly true vocals and towering romanticism combine with an astute and pragmatic nature to make her a unique and powerful figure in contemporary music. With 10 critically acclaimed solo albums, and awards in tow, Eddi continues to delight audiences worldwide. The past few years have proved to be some of her busiest yet, playing sell out shows as part of her ‘40 Years Live Tour’ in addition to appearing as special guest with the Jools Holland’s Rhythm & Blues Orchestra for an extensive UK tour. Miwa Nagato-Apthorp is a Singer-Songwriter from the Scottish Borders whose songwriting practice draws on folk traditions to explore multicultural understandings of history, climate, gender and home. Described as “a visceral new voice in Scottish Folk” Miwa was recently Musician in Residence at Alchemy Film & Arts and Connecting Threads where she developed new music exploring lesser-known histories and perspectives of the Scottish Borders and beyond. Her debut EP, Noren, was released in March 2025 and she was awarded “Best Acoustic” at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards Make your free dinner reservation to eat at our Margins Cafe before the show!

Perfume Genius (Duo): Extra DateUnion Chapel · N1
Perfume Genius is the moniker of artist Mike Hadreas. Hadreas began his music career in 2008 and released his debut album, Learning, in 2010 via long-time label home Matador. The album immediately captured critics’ attention, with Pitchfork praising its “eviscerating and naked” songs, marked by “heartbreaking sentiments and bruised characterizations delivered in a voice that ranges from an ethereal croon to a slightly cracked warble.” These descriptors became the hallmarks of Perfume Genius - Hadreas’ unique ability to convey emotional vulnerability not only lyrically, but with his impressively nuanced vocals. In 2012, Hadreas released Put Your Back N 2 It, further growing his audience and critical acclaim. His 2014 album, Too Bright, marked a bold evolution in production and confidence. Co-produced by Adrian Utley of Portishead, it featured the standout single “Queen,” which quickly became a queer anthem and powerful statement of identity. Hadreas later performed the track on Late Night with David Letterman. In 2017, Perfume Genius released the GRAMMY-nominated No Shape, a breakthrough album that expanded his global fan base and brought mainstream recognition to his art. Produced by Blake Mills (Fiona Apple, Alabama Shakes), the record earned high praise, with The New Yorker noting, “The center of his music has always been a defiant delicacy—a ragged, affirmative understanding of despair. No Shape finds him unexpectedly victorious, his body exalted.” During the album’s campaign, Hadreas appeared on multiple late-night shows and graced the cover of The Fader. In 2020, Hadreas released Set My Heart On Fire Immediately, a critical masterpiece on Matador Records that garnered worldwide acclaim. Produced by GRAMMY winner Blake Mills, the album featured contributions from Phoebe Bridgers, Jim Keltner, Pino Palladino, Matt Chamberlin, Rob Moose, and longtime collaborator Alan Wyffels. It explored and subverted concepts of masculinity and traditional roles, introducing distinctly American musical influences.Hadreas promoted the album with performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (“Jason”), The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (“Whole Life”), and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (“On The Floor”). He followed with Ugly Season, a project born from his collaboration with choreographer Kate Wallich on The Sun Still Burns Here, a dance piece commissioned by Seattle Theatre Group and Mass MoCA and performed across major cities in 2019. The release included a stunning 30-minute film, Pygmalion’s Ugly Season, created with renowned visual artist Jacolby Satterwhite, blending surreal visuals with Hadreas’s music. In March 2025, Hadreas released Glory, his critically acclaimed, GRAMMY-nominated seventh studio album. Make your dinner reservation to eat at our Margins Cafe before the show!

Jamie DuffyUnion Chapel · N1
Kili Presents and Metropolis By Arrangement with Junzi Arts Jamie Duffy: A Rising Star in the Music World "Whether he decides to be Ireland’s answer to Hans Zimmer or the next Yo-Yo Ma, the future is most certainly bright." - The Irish Times 22-year-old musician and songwriter Jamie Duffy is a notable force in the music scene, known for seamlessly blending traditional, popular, and classical influences into a distinctive musical style that captivates with its beauty. Jamie's debut track, "Solas," continues to break records, becoming the most streamed debut song by an Irish artist since Hozier's "Take Me To Church," amassing over 155 million streams on Spotify. With over 1.9 million monthly listeners, Jamie is solidifying his place in the music world. Jamie's collaborations showcase his versatility and innovation. His collaboration, "Solas (with Sarah Cothran)," holds deep personal significance and represents a creative milestone. Reflecting on the track, Jamie expressed, "The new version of Solas with Sarah Cothran is very special and important to me, and it’s been executed in a way I always dreamed any vocal version would be." This version adds an international dimension to Jamie's musical repertoire. Expanding his collaborative repertoire, Jamie has worked with notable musicians such as Patrick Dexter and Kingfishr. From uplifting instrumental pieces to emotionally resonant tracks featuring powerful vocals, Jamie's compositions span a diverse range of genres and themes. Jamie is set to captivate audiences once again with his latest single, "Torus," a mesmerizing piece inspired by the cyclical swimming patterns of basking sharks. Jamie explains, "In this piece, I was inspired by basking sharks swimming in circles. This behavior mirrors my own experiences and relationships, often feeling cyclical. The torus-shaped circles these majestic creatures form symbolize the beautiful and wild aspects of life." As Jamie embarks on this new chapter, he looks forward to sharing his music with audiences around the world. This autumn, Jamie will be embarking on a highly anticipated tour across The UK, promising to connect with fans and further his journey as a musician.
