Pear O'Legs Records Presents: Rhiannon Scutt + Alastair Gordon - Ticket

from £6.00

Folk music every 2nd Tuesday of the month at The Harlequin, Sheffield. These gigs are not-for-profit, all ticket sales go to the musicians.

Rhiannon Scutt

Evolution through Rhiannon’s music is clear. A shift from her first rootsy duo Rita Payne, through a period of introspective work developing as a lyricist. Now working with a grittier sound, she maintains her beautiful and at times uncomfortable lyrics, experimenting with world-class musicians, who's combined sound converge where distorted guitars, live strings meet drum machines and jazz trumpet.

"A great songwriter, an excellent and intelligent performer, a top class singer and musician" - Kit Bailey, BBC R2 Folk Awards

Alastair Gordon

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. Narrative and character-driven lyrics often tackle unconventional subject matter and reflect a life split between South Yorkshire and North Saxony.

"Off kilter quirky baritone - that's a very difficult style to pull off. Alastair absolutely nails it." - Christian Carlisle, BBC Sheffield

There’ll be a raffle.

Accessibility: The pub has step free access, however the gig is held upstairs, there isn't a lift so this invovles climbing a flight of stairs.
