THEA GILMORE
With Special Guest Philippe Nash
20 albums and 25 years into her recording career and only now does Thea Gilmore feel enough of herself to make the self-titled album that renews her vows to music – her first love. The album was entirely written, played and produced by Thea. ‘Thea Gilmore’ is absolutely the record she wanted to make. In many ways the record she had to make.
Thea’s hard-earned reputation as one of the most distinctive, strident and bold singer songwriters of her generation propels her to reach for new ground and this new release feels like a great leap forward into tomorrow.
Thea Gilmore has made 20 albums since the release of her first, Burning Dorothy, in 1998. The veteran of hundreds of festivals, she has sold out shows across the globe. Her music features in numerous films including most recently Olivia Coleman’s film Joyride (2022). Thea has also worked with and won the admiration of cultural icons such as Bruce Springsteen, Martha Wainwright, John Cooper Clarke, Billy Bragg, Steve Earle and Beth Orton.
Opening the concert will be Thea's March Tour support artist - Philippe Nash
"Drifting beautifully between personal conflicts and the natural world; Philippe's piercing rumination on his own emotive state is met by a crackle of nightly noise in the far-off distance, a wash of ambience approaching.
Led by a voice that is immediately striking, Philippe’s music is at once raw and rigid, and then untethered and vulnerable."
