John Smith & Katherine Priddy

Two of the UK's most exciting songwriters hit the road together for the first time in a powerful meeting of rich harmony and melodies live at the Landmark Arts Centre this Friday!

John Smith is known for his intimate songwriting, his honey-on-gravel voice and pioneering guitar playing. He has spent the last fifteen years touring internationally (including supporting Suzanne Vega) and has over 80 million streams on Spotify.

Katherine Priddy's haunting vocals and distinctive finger-picking guitar style have seen her sell out headline tours, support artists including The Chieftains and Vashti Bunyan and to be invited to play some of the world's most prestigious festivals. Her much anticipated debut album, 'The Eternal Rocks Beneath', was released in June 2021 on Navigator Records to great acclaim.

Tickets: £16 Advance / £18 On the Day / £12 U25s
