Megan Henwood & Findlay Napier
Holywell Music Rooms
Their back, Megan and Findlay are the Song Story Scientists
Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh 2016 - Megan Henwood and Findlay Napier are a few hours into an EFDSS (English Folk Dance Song Society) run song-writing retreat. They are outside drinking their 7th coffee of the morning! Napier’s driven nine hours from Glasgow and is a bit wobbly. Henwood’s back from a month long writing trip to Nashville and she is jet lagged and delusional. “Fancy writing a song about maths?” Napier enquires. And so the seed for this
songwriting partnership was sewn. Their collaboration has led to the creation of songs about hermit known as The North Pond Phantom, WBAI host Bob Fass’ lifesaving broadcast on 6th Nov 1971, Georg Cantor’s struggle with infinity, maths and God plus something about Shepherds and leaders. They are yet to write a song about pickup trucks...or beer.
If ever an artist called on the elements in her songwriting, it's Megan Henwood. The distinguished English singer-songwriter is far too self-deprecating to describe herself as a force of nature, but her third album ‘River’ reaffirms her unique ability to create roots musicof beguiling purity from what's around her.
One of the finest songwriters and storytellers of the contemporary Scottish folk scene Findlay Napier is an insurgent talent that comes on like a Caledonian Loudon Wainwright. Distilled to artful acoustic guitar and Napier's remarkable voice his most recent album ‘Glasgow’ captures the timeless essence of one of the world's great cities.
Their back, Megan and Fin return with the Song Story Scientists and will be debuting the new show once again at the Holywell Rooms. New songs have been written for the new show and will be much anticipated especially after the first outing of this duo. A show well worth seeing so don't miss out. Tickets on sale now.
Tickets are £15 in advance and £18 on the door

Teddy Thompson + very special Guests
Holywell Music Room
After the disappointment of having to cancel his tour and date at the Holywell Music Room from last year, we are delighted to say that Teddy Thompson returns to Oxford for the third time to a venue he loves to play in. He released his latest album last year called 'Heartbreaker Please' to much critical acclaim and all being well he will get to tour it for a UK audience and the people of Oxford again. He sold out the last show he played there and as you might expect will do the same again this time. Teddy has a strong loyal following so don't wait to buy your ticket because once they are gone, that's it. I am working on a special support for this show, something I have had in mind for a while and when it happens you might not want to miss it because it is unlikely to happen too many more times in our lifetime. So with Teddy back on the road and the Holywell one of his destinations, get your ticket, mark your diary and prepare for something that little bit special. If for whatever reason the tour is cancelled, it will be rescheduled and tickets will be honoured for the new date but let's stay positive and hope all goes well.
Tickets £22.50
