Hi all,
We have been lucky enough to secure a show by Emily Barker in the Swiss Cottage on March 14. The last time she played in Twyford, she sold out the 150-capacity St Mary's Church. This time she will be in the 32-capacity Swiss Cottage, so it goes without saying that you should purchase tickets promptly if you want to get in. Tickets will go on sale this Friday at 10 am here:
O and B
Emily Barker is an award-winning Australian singer-songwriter. She
found early success as the writer and performer of the theme to the hugely successful BBC/PBS Masterpiece crime drama Wallander starring Kenneth Branagh and has since gone on to forge an acclaimed catalogue of releases, leading The Guardian to say “Emily Barker has a gift for great melodies”.
Barker’s new album, Fragile as Humans , was produced at storied English studio The Wool Hall by Luke Potashnick (Gabrielle Aplin, Jack Savoretti, Alberta Cross). It's her first album for nearly four years, following A Dark Murmuration of Words, which Uncut called “...a kind of Australian equivalent of PJ Harvey’s Let England Shake” and which NPR’s Ann Powers acclaimed as “One of the most literate and probing folk albums of the year.”
Barker has released music and toured as a solo artist as well as with various bands and collaborations - most notably her long associations with Mary Chapin Carpenter and Frank Turner - and has written for TV and film, including composing the soundtrack for Jake Gavin’s lauded debut feature Hector, starring Peter Mullan and Keith Allen.
