Thea Gilmore

"Gilmore is blazing her own path towards classic status as a songwriter" - The Guardian.

Thea Gilmore returns to Ropetackle to perform following a sell-out show last year - this is her only South Coast tour date.

Her razor sharp lyrics, melodic flair, and honey toned voice have been admired by wide ranging contemporaries from Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, Richard Thompson, Neil Gaiman, David Baddeil, and William Boyd. Sid Griffin hates her. In 2012 "Don't Stop Singing", a collection of musical arrangements to the late Sandy Denny's unfinished lyrical works, received great acclaim including the single "London" which was used extensively in the BBC TV coverage of the Olympic Games.
