Callum Pitt headline show with support from IMOGEN and Eve Simpson.

Line Up

Rising indie artist Callum Pitt combines finger-picked folk riffs with a stunning falsetto voice and multiple layers of harmonies. Callum’s 2017 debut “You’d Better Sell It While You Can” yielded immediate industry attention, piqued by coverage from the likes of DIY, Fresh On The Net and Crack In The Road. Follow up tracks “Least He’s Happy” and “Rabbits” had more success still, landing on Spotify’s coveted ‘New Music Friday’ playlists across Europe, with the latter track receiving airplay from BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music. Callum also steadily built his live following throughout the year with support slots for Dan Owen, Cape Cub, Isaac Gracie, The Pale White, as well as a slot at Selfridges Music Matters new music gig series with Mullally and Joy Crookes. This string of live shows culminated in his first headline show November, which sold out within two days, a full month ahead of the show. Following an impressive debut year, Callum Pitt is one to watch closely in 2018.

“Callum Pitt… harnesses the lilting nature of Americana, producing some intricate guitar licks and roll-off-the-tongue lyrics that converge into a swelling chorus that sweeps you off your feet.” (DIY)

'Eve Simpson has a voice as pure as a mountain stream, and boy can she write' - The Crack Magazine

Releasing her debut Shelter EP at 17, Eve juggled her last year of A Levels with opening the Northern leg of The Martha Reeves & The Vandellas tour, and supporting the likes of The Lake Poets, Cattle & Cane and American Young, adding to an extensive list of support slots that already included Beth Nielsen Chapman, UB40 and Nikki Lane. 2018 added to the chart success of Shelter EP; Eve’s sophomore release: ‘Gloria, I’m Home’, reached the no.2 spot on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart. Gloria gained Eve frequent airplay on Nick Roberts’ BBC Introducing show, advancing on her opening slot at the 2017 Evolution Emerging BBC Introducing stage, a spot which earned Eve airplay on Tom Robinson’s BBC 6 show for ‘Austerity’. As well as her solo project, Eve writes and gigs throughout the UK as 1/6th of ‘Kathryn Tickell and Superfolkus’. Collaborative writing has seen Eve appear on Tickell’s ‘Water of Tyne’ release; and, compose a score on South Shields’ shipyard women for Shona Thompson’s: ‘A Kind of Seeing’ film, which received a FOCAL International Film Award for ‘Best Footage on Innovative Platforms’.
