Venue: The Arc map Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: 01962 398046 Event: JIM MORAY - 7.30pm - Over the past two decades of British folk music, Jim Moray has marked himself out as having a singular, idiosyncratic vision that has rarely wavered in style and substance. The cinematic vision of albums such as Skulk (2012), Upcetera (2016), and his game-changing debut Sweet England (2003) show just how far the old songs can be taken. As Moray embarks on his third decade as a professional musician, he finds himself as one of the most celebrated interpreters of folk song in the UK. And never satisfied with staying still, there’s a sense that he has only just begun. The Arc website: arcwinchester.org.uk The Arc on Facebook: facebook.com/arcwinch

NELL BRYDEN
Venue: The Arc
7.30pm
Audience favourite Nell Bryden is back with a new and deeply personal album: “I Love You So Much I’m Blind.” Putting a raw spin on her American blues and soul roots, Nell’s latest tour-de-force shows off her gorgeously rich and emotional voice. A New York songwriter who bravely shares her vulnerabilities, it feels like she is singing just for you. After years of struggling with heartbreak and infertility, Nell leads us through her journey of acceptance and redemption. “I Love You So Much I’m Blind” may be her most emotionally powerful record to date.
