Music: Les Thomas (Australia) + Anya Pailthorpe

Live music from acclaimed Australian songwriter Les Thomas, who brings his 2026 UK tour to Bristol for an intimate performance at the Hen & Chicken, joined by the fabulous Anya Pailthorpe.

Blending folk, Americana and poetic storytelling, Thomas writes songs filled with humanity, memory and hard-won compassion. His music has been praised for its intelligence, authenticity and emotional depth, with performances that draw audiences in through powerful lyrics and understated delivery.

Touring in support of his forthcoming album I Remember Everything, this is a rare chance to catch one of Australia’s most compelling contemporary folk songwriters in an intimate setting.
