Bristol Song Circle: James Walsh (Starsailor), Jonny Morgan, Thaime

Melody Pool live at Rough Trade Bristol on Thu, Aug 20, 7:00 PM. Tickets from $26.53. Lineup, start time and tickets on Ckord.

**Bristol Song Circle Presents** After the success of our sell-out first night back in April, Bristol Song Circle returns to Rough Trade this summer. In a seated and cosy setting, songs will be stripped-back and shared, with the stories of how they were written woven in between. It is the sound of songwriters talking shop, swapping ideas, and keeping the troubadour spirit alive. **James Walsh** will be bringing his deeply personal, emotionally resonant songwriting to the stage. As frontman of Starsailor, he rose to prominence in the early 2000s with a run of acclaimed releases, including their Platinum-selling debut Love Is Here, and a string of hit singles. That success forms the backdrop to Walsh’s solo work, which takes a more intimate, stripped-back approach. His recent album It’s All Happening, draws on a range of inspirations while retaining the emotional directness that has long defined his songwriting - making this an opportunity to experience his music in its most immediate form. **Little Boots** is the project of Victoria Hesketh - the singer, songwriter, producer, and DJ behind some of electro-pop's most recognisable late-2000s moments. Her debut album "Hands" and global smash "Remedy" made an immediate impact. Now fiercely independent and with new music expected this year, we have a unique chance to hear her stripped-back and close-up. Winner of the Bob Harris Americana Emerging Artist of the Year 2024, **Jonny Morgan** is an acclaimed indie singer-songwriter whose atmospheric, heartfelt songs have earned support from BBC Introducing, Mahogany Sessions and Absolute Country. Following the release of his debut album "Good Luck With the Music" he's captivated audiences everywhere from Glastonbury to Nashville's legendary Bluebird Cafe. Think of it as wandering into a private jam session, pulling up a chair, and staying a whole lot longer than planned.
