SUMMARY:Sophie Moore
DESCRIPTION:UK-based singer-songwriter Sophie Moore has recently made her welcome return to the music scene\, bringing with her a unique brand of alternative country\, brought to life with former members of Nashville-based Lambchop. \n“What a breath of fresh air. You continue to give voice to simple truths. It’s got so much heart\,” former Lambchop pianist Tony Crow shares. \nDuring her musical journey\, in the 1980s\, Sophie Moore toured internationally as part of the London indie group Foggy Cry. She went on to support the likes of Labi Siffre during her solo career whilst also collaborating on a range of other artist’s projects including releasing tracks on Okra Records in the USA in the early 1990s with Jeb Loy Nichols. \nCapturing her sound in the studio\, her well-received single “Closer Than” presented the first taste of her upcoming album Trouble In Mind. Now\, with intimate live shows\, she’s offering a rare opportunity to hear the new material performed live with musicians from the US recording sessions. \nJoined by Houston bassist Mark Riddell and from Nashville\, Tony Crow\, these world class musicians form a transatlantic ensemble that’s set to perform a limited number of  UK  tour dates in June 2026. \nPraise for her first single: \n“A stellar showcase of Sophie Moore’s songwriting talent and performance panache.”\n— Plastic Magazine \n“Closer Than” embodies that powerful message alongside a stirringly melodic production and consuming vocal presence.”\n— Obscure Sound

SUMMARY:Music: Rose's Pawn Shop
DESCRIPTION:American roots music from Southern California live in Bristol \nRose’s Pawn Shop are a 5-piece band with acoustic\, folkie Americana roots and a rock n’ roll vibe. \nFor two decades\, they have evolved their version of modern-day American roots music. It’s an anthemic sound that’s taken the group from their hometown of Los Angeles — where frontman Paul Givant formed the band as a bluegrass-inspired act\, making room for punky tempos and fiddle solos — to venues across the country\, where their sound grew to encompass the sweep of rock & roll\, the sonics of folk music\, and the storytelling of country. \n“Our music is a patchwork of American styles\,” Givant says. “We have country\, rock\, bluegrass\, and folk — all sorts of American musical influences\, and they all go into the Rose’s Pawn Shop sound. \n““American Seams” is a masterclass in resilient roots music. It is a song for the seekers\, the travelers\, and anyone trying to navigate the complexities of modern life without losing their connection to the past.” – Country Music News International \n  \nLearn more about Rose’s Pawn Shop here: Rose’s Pawn Shop  \n  \n\n  \n\nExclusive offer for all Hen & Chicken event ticket holders – July 2026.\n\n25% off your food bill when you reserve a table in our  bar /restaurant\nWhen you book a table and enjoy dinner in our restaurant\, we reserve great seats for you\, ready for the performance\, so you can skip the queue and relax while enjoying your meal. \n\nPlease make your dinner reservation under the same name you used to book your tickets. \n\n*Does not include a ticket to your chosen event.
