Lady Nade

Blending roots, folk, soul, Americana, jazz, blues and pop, the record offers both sanctuary and encouragement. It features the powerful BBC Introducing supported singles already released: the anthemic ‘One Of Us’; the soul-soothing ‘Rainbow’; and the retro-infused, inspired pop of ‘Sober’, as championed by Cerys Matthews on BBC Radio 6 Music. The album explores themes of self-expression, emotional resilience, mental wellness, and personal evolution, anchored by her distinctive, soothing yet powerful voice and a unique blend of heartfelt storytelling, uplifting melodies, and genre fluidity. ‘ Identity’ is about being seen, being heard, and discovering the freedom that comes with fully inhabiting who you are. It is a soulful exploration of self-love: an invitation to celebrate and accept ourselves, and each other. Lady Nade writes with honesty and vulnerability, balancing emotional depth with warmth, positivity and hope. While her songs are often uplifting and joyful, there is always authenticity at their core, rooted in lived experience and a belief in music as a powerful force for connection, compassion and healing. - Americana UK Lady Nade will bring ‘ Identity’ to life in a series of intimate live shows, accompanied by a six-piece band of some of the UK’s finest musicians. These performances are designed to be emotionally immersive, offering a space for connection, reflection, and shared experience.

Dave McCabe - The Zutons

After recently stepping out with his debut solo single “When You’re Young” , Dave McCabe is heading back on the road this November for a run of UK dates, joined once again by special guest, James Jay Lewis. Best known as the voice and songwriter behind The Zutons, McCabe’s move into solo territory has already made a strong impression. “When You’re Young” has been tremendously well received and already a firm live favourite. Earlier this year, McCabe and Lewis played a run of shows together that quickly gathered momentum, with packed rooms and a great response night after night. This new tour builds on that, taking them to more venues across the UK through November and into December. McCabe’s set draws from material throughout his rich writing career, from Zutons classics, to songs he wrote for other artists and glimpses of his new music, the second of which will be released in advance of the tour. Jay Lewis is a perfect fit for the bill. A Liverpool-born multi-instrumentalist, he’s worked with Cast and The La's over the years, and has been steadily building his own solo following. With songs that carry a classic, melodic British song writing style, and his outstanding musicianship, the two team up together both on their own and each other’s music. The tour kicks off in Barnoldswick on November 5th and wraps up in Liverpool in mid-December, taking in stops in Birmingham, London, Glasgow and more along the way.
