Piney Gir, Samantha Whates, Fiona Bevan

Piney Gir is fresh off a world tour with Gaz Coombes, supported Ride on tour last winter and has been busy guest-vocalling with Noel Gallagher, but now she's here to promote her new (and 7th) album You Are Here. Loud Women reviews Piney's solo/live show... as great as her voice is full and rich and sweet and with a huge range and lots of heart it's as a songwriter that Piney Gir really shines.

Samantha Whates is a London based singer songwriter from Scotland, retaining a strong affinity with her roots cultivating a sound that is thoroughly contemporary yet rooted in tradition in a style that is uniquely her own.

Samantha is a musician, singer, songwriter, collaborator and self-releaser...having released on indie labels, Rough Trade and Wonderful Sounds. Bob Harris and Tom Robinson have endorsed her music calling it "the most beautiful album" and "just gorgeous." Waiting Rooms is Samantha's newest offering, fresh off the back of her PicaPica album released on Rough Trade in 2019. I love her voice - Dolly Parton. Samantha has recently created a documentary about her recent album 'Waiting Rooms'.

Fiona Bevan is a British-Canadian songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist from Suffolk with a sweet, fiery voice creating "startling odysseys that suggest Erykah Badu, Joanna Newsom and Kate Bush spine-tinglingly joined" (The Guardian). Her new EP, Wild Angels Sweet Demons was produced by Grammy award-winning engineer Robin Baynton (Mumford And Sons, Laura Marling, Isaac Gracie).

Fiona has been working as a multi-platinum songwriter, writing hit songs for other artists including the award-winning number one song 'Little Things' for One Direction, plus singles for Aurora, Lewis Capaldi, Tom Walker, Lights, Hey Violet, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Mika, Backstreet Boys, Natalie Prass and Matthew E. White. She has also recently been writing with Lennon Stella, Lukas Nelson, The Shires and Treetop Flyers.
