Beth Roberts is a songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Bristol. After a summer of gigs with Hands of the Heron, Tryani Collective and House of Figs, she’s excited to bring a brand new band to the Galli to share an in-progress development of her solo songwriting project.

Beth’s voice carries elements of folksong honesty and choral clarity as she weaves melodic lines over intricate fingerpicked banjo and guitar, with jazz-infused grooves provided by Katie Moberley (cello), Danny Tryani (keys) and Alex Heane (double bass). They’ll be playing a collection of new songs born from the quiet place that comes after despair, expressing a bruised acceptance of uncertainty following the deconstruction of childhood beliefs. There’s a hypnotic intimacy in her performance that invites audiences to commune with the tender parts of themselves, drawn in by her ever-shifting harmonic patterns and gently questioning lyrics.

Free entry, music from 9pm.
