Salt House

On Saturday 12 October, Live In The Library Presents... welcomes acoustic folk trio Salt House (Jenny Sturgeon, Ewan MacPherson & Anna Hughes) with support from local folk artist Michelle Holloway (Bonfire Radicals).

Salt House have been a mainstay on the folk scene for over a decade. The band’s reputation as thoughtful and innovative interpreters of both old ballads and contemporary songs has been solidified with acclaimed album releases and extensive touring. Described as a "gentle, lulling delight" by The Guardian, Salt House blend heartfelt vocal and instrumental interplay, offering listeners a moment of reflection and connection.

New songs that sound like they’ve always been here, ancient ballads woken up. Poems given melodies they’ve long deserved.

Salt House's sound is influenced by the landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, Northumberland and Shetland, the respective homes of band members Ewan MacPherson (vocals, electric and acoustic guitars), Anna Hughes (vocals, fiddle, viola, tenor guitar) and Jenny Sturgeon (vocals, keys, guitar). They incorporate their natural surroundings into the fabric of the music that speaks of a shared love of place, people, and evolving tradition.

Advance general entry tickets are available on Pay What You Can Afford basis (suggested £15.00/£10.00 concessions).

Doors open at 7.00pm & music will commence at 7.30pm.

Note that this will be a mainly seated show.
