Alastair Gordon’s ‘Meet Me In The City’ is out today

This is the second release from Alastair on POLR. The single is a reinterpretation of Junior Kimbrough's Hills Country Blues classic 'Meet Me In The City'.

Alastair Gordon started performing original material on the Berlin open mic scene in his late teens. Since then, his voice has been shaped into a rich baritone through years of busking and a creative approach to guitar and harmonica have been shaped by adventurous listening habits. The clearest influences include Nick Drake, Charlie Parr and Joni Mitchell. Narrative and character-driven lyrics often tackle unconventional subject matter and reflect a life split between South Yorkshire and North Saxony. In his adopted hometown of Sheffield he's supported some of the most exciting artists on the contemporary folk scene including Robin Adams, Brown Horse, Jim Ghedi, Me Lost Me, Gwenifer Raymond and The Brothers Gillespie. Regular touring has seen him headline at legendary venues near and far such as The Prince Albert in Stroud, The Cumberland Arms in Newcastle, Madame Claude in Berlin and The Bicycle Shop in Norwich, alongside festival appearances at Tonnau (Anglesey), Eden (Galloway), Harlequin Fayre (Norfolk) and Holmfirth folk festival (Yorkshire). His most recent hometown headline appearance was at Cafe#9 and sold out in advance.

He’ll be releasing his debut album with us in October 2026, so watch this space.

In the meantime, sit back and enjoy this absolute summery banger!
