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:Cancelled: Angel Snow with guitarist Joe Wilkins
DESCRIPTION:CRH Music regrets to announce Angel Snow’s performance\, due for Tuesday 1st December\, 2026 has been cancelled for reasons beyond our control. Ticket purchasers will be contacted. \n\n\n\n\n\nWe welcome Angel back to the intimate surroundings of the Hen & Chicken Studio\, with her hypnotic delivery and spellbinding style\, for a trio performance\, including guitarist Joe Wilkins and on drums\, Matt Stockham-Brown. \nAngel Snow has just completed a successful 14-date UK tour promoting her most recent release – a Tom Waits tribute album titled Yesterday Is Here. Snow’s catalogue spans four full-length records over the course of 15 years and eludes quick and easy categorisation. \nResisting all attempts to pigeonhole her style as ‘Americana’\, Snow leaned heavily on her early teenaged electronic influences for her sophomore effort\, choosing to work with UK-based producer Lee Groves (Trent Reznor). The result was Magnetic – a collection of lush\, ambient\, electronic-driven songs that landed her a record deal with indie powerhouse Nettwerk Records. Magnetic would go on to receive critical praise worldwide and deliver the viral underground hit ‘Secret.’ \nSnow remained with Nettwerk for two follow-up EPs Arrows and Arrows (Stripped)\, produced by Ben Cramer\, aka Old Sea Brigade. Once again\, Arrows delivered an under-the-radar indie viral hit after the K-pop phenom boy band BTS singer “V” included the song “Hotel Rosario” on his personal Spotify Favourites playlist\, which notably only contained five songs. \nWith the music industry grinding to a halt in 2020\, Snow continued focusing on writing\, turning to Los Angeles producer Jonathan Stein (aka Charles Jacques) for her next full-length album Low. With Stein at the helm\, Snow delivered a Covid-inspired collection of songs heavily weighted by the themes of loss\, claustrophobia\, and re-imagined trauma. \nMost notable is Snow’s starkly beautiful cover of Peter Gabriel’s ominous environmentalist warnings in “Here Comes the Flood.” Snow chose the song as a metaphor for the emotional surge arising when faced with intense loss. The entire record is punctuated by Stein’s virtuosic skills as a multi-instrumentalist. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCRH Music regrets to announce Angel Snow’s performance\, due for Tuesday 1st December\, 2026 has been cancelled for reasons beyond our control. Ticket purchasers will be contacted.

SUMMARY:Music: Terra Spencer
DESCRIPTION:A solo performance from an award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter. \nBad ideas\, VCRs\, crumbling factories\, hairy dogs\, questionable tattoos…all are fair game for Nova Scotian funeral director-turned-songwriter Terra Spencer. And the songs are good ones\, judging from the accolades her four albums have received\, and from the caliber of her collaborators\, which include David Francey\, Dave Gunning\, and Matt Andersen. \nAlthough her butterscotch voice\, deft fingerstyle guitar\, and gospel-charged piano make her a formidable musician\, it’s her onstage ease and crackling wit that make each show feel like a knee-to-knee conversation in a room of 5 or 500. “The real deal.” – Ron Sexsmith
