Comfy & Acoustic, our showcase of the UK's best folk, acoustic, Americana and singer-songwriters, every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month

Hannah White
Described by Country People Magazine as "the Amy Winehouse of UK Americana" Hannah White is a singer-songwriter with a voice, Acoustic Magazine claimed "you will want to protect and become besotted with".

Hannah launched her record after a YouTube demand for a track, recorded in her bathroom reached 25,000 views almost over night, to a sold-out audience at London's iconic venue Union Chapel.

Described by The Evening Standard as "an activist", Hannah is a politically-engaged artist and an ambassador of independent music. With the acclaim of a national publication asserting "it is only a matter of circumstance that will determine whether [her album] will become the soundtrack to a big Hollywood movie" Hannah has battled her way to gaining a loyal following of fans around the UK whilst maintaining a wholly independent approach to her career.

Lunch Special
Lunch Special is a London-based bluegrass and Americana band. Members Neala Hickey, Vivian Li, and Luca Serino have roots spreading across three continents. The three met at a bluegrass picking session at a London pub, where they bonded over a passion for stringed instruments, harmony singing, murder ballads, chicken, beer, and all things American. They play and sing traditional bluegrass classics, lesser known old songs, and also their own originals. While they take inspiration from Appalachian music, bluegrass, and country, their diverse musical backgrounds bring together something that is their own sound.

Lucy Shaw
At the age of 21, Lucy Shaw has already accumulated a wealth of experience in the music industry. She has headlined her own shows in Birmingham and has been a support act for established artists such as: Mahalia, Jerry Williams, Ben Ottewell, etc. on their European and Nationwide tours. Lucy seeks to take her audience on a story-telling journey through her acoustic folk-pop style.

Lucy has performed at festivals around the country including: BBC CarFest North and South (2017, 2019), Lunar Festival (2018), HowTheLightGetsIn (2019), Statfold Barn Festival (2019), Gilwell 24 Festival (2019), Worcester Music Festival (2018) and more.
