If you’re in the market to discover new musical acts from Scotland and the North East, then this event is for you. Tees Music Alliance and The Kids Are Solid Gold bring back the highly anticipated Songs From Northern Britain to The Georgian Theatre, The Green Room and the Georgian’s Bar on Saturday 21st May, with a full day of endless talent from the deep North.
The all-dayer will be headlined by the incredibly talented singer-songwriter from Edinburgh, Hamish Hawk. Recognised for creating a fantastical world of musical diversity, Hawk magically encapsulates his audiences through his artistic and imaginative exploration of music and innate lyricism. This is recognised in his first fully-formed album Heavy Elevator, which emotionally combines characters and geographical references to enhance his evocative storylines.
An abundance of other accomplished artists will also feature on the line-up, including ‘laptop rock’ duo Memes, the observational sounds of Our Man In The Field, Dundee songwriter Theo Bleak, Teesside garage rockers Onlooker, fast rising young Glaswegian artist Connor Fyfe, Yorkshire/London sextet Deadletter, acclaimed folk songwriter Katie Doherty and many more.
Songs From Northern Britain takes place at Georgian Theatre, Stockton on Saturday 21st May.
