NEWS: Jodie Nicholson @ Various Venues

It’s been a rather interesting couple of years for Hurworth-on-Tees-based solo artist Jodie Nicholson. She’s been blazing one hell of a trail which has seen her supporting the likes of Emeli Sande, The Futureheads and Bernard Butler; she’s been the very first artist to grace the stage at Sunderland’s shiny new venue The Fire Station; and she’s becoming a fixture on festival line-ups such as The Great Escape, Live at Leeds and Cambridge Folk Festival.

It’s quite the CV, but even a casual dive into her discography makes clear why, and it’s no surprise that her music has managed to find a home on Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio 6Music (which is, as far as I’m concerned, quite the guarantee of versatility!) Off the back of this tremendous wave of momentum, Jodie is undertaking a five-date tour of the North East. “I’m playing a run of intimate shows in December with my wonderful band in some of our fave North East venues.” She says. “Expect new songs, the usual favourites and something a lil’ more stripped-back. It feels like the perfect way to round off this year.”

Jodie is supported on all dates by fellow solo singer-songwriter Joe Ramsay, whose relatable songs and indie folk vibes are also gaining serious acclaim.

Jodie Nicholson and Joe Ramsey play Durham’s Claypath Deli (3^rd December), Middlesbrough’s Off The Ground (10^th December) The Waiting Room, Eaglescliffe (11^th December), The Forum Music Centre in Darlington (14^th December) and Bobik’s in Newcastle (17^th December).
