Additional information
As we draw into the darkest time of the year, this evening offers a moment away from the bustle and craziness, to come together and celebrate the things that bring us light in a turbulent world; the everyday magic of living.
Raised in Leeds via the Highlands of Scotland, Annalie's music has been influenced by jazz, funk, and blues, as well as a decade-long love affair with Georgian folksong. Backed by guitar and piano with live vocal harmonies, she has been described as a contemporary marriage of Joni Mitchell and Nina Simone.
Her new show takes us on a rambling journey through the chaos of existence, balancing depth and lightness in equal measure. Songs of grief and recovery, inequality and injustice could weigh heavy, were it not for their constant companion of faith in the human spirit of perseverance, collaboration, and ultimately, love.
"In Search of the Light" is a lyric from one of Annalie's songs, invoking the bravery we all muster in challenging times. Songs remind us we are not alone. Step inside from the cold and enjoy the warmth of shared humanity, an uplifting evening amongst friends old and new.
Opening the show will be the extraordinarily talented Matt Kent.
