KATHRYN WILLIAMS

KATHRYN WILLIAMS

KATHRYN WILLIAMS


https://www.kathrynwilliams.co.uk/


In this new musical world when we talk about an artist’s body of work, we tend to think of a handful of records stretched out across of a handful of years, if we’re lucky. A changing industry and a focus on immediacy has done little to alter such notions, which makes Kathryn Williams something of an anomaly - releasing eleven full-length albums under her own name (and more with various side-projects) since her debut LP, Dog Leap Stairs, was released in 1999 via her own CAW Records label.

FRiDAY 4th JULY

**** SOLD OUT ***

 

Beans on Toast is coming to town!


To celebrate the release of his new book Wild Folk People, Beans on Toast is throwing a summer party at our venue, and you're all invited.

A legend of the folk and festival scene, Beans' new book is a heartwarming, rebellious, and a deeply human collection of tales about the extraordinary characters who’ve inspired his songs.

Expect a night of music, stories, drinking and dancing, with support from special guest musicians and DJs (to be announced soon).

Each venue has been handpicked for its unique charm and character, just like the stories in the book. This promises to be a unique evening from the one-of-a-kind songwriter, storyteller, and performer.

AATM presents An Afternoon of indie - Indie for the over 30s!

NEW DATE:::SAT 6th SEPT 2pm. -7pm 




After  3 sold out events at the The Nightingale  so far ....ONE MORE FOR THE SUMMER!!!

Old School Indie - The indie night for the over 30s are once again joining forces with Feeling Gloomy & Age Against The Machine to bring you a special 3pm-7pm Afternoon of Indie.

We intend this event to be on the outdoor stage. However, with the British weather, we have a contingency to bring it indoors. It might be that certain portions are inside or out, our aim is to keep you dry but have the best shindig we can, and the outside wood space is an awesome place to have a party!


Feeling Gloomy & Old School Indie DJs will be playing a mix of indie classics from across the decades so whether you were an 70s punk, 80s new waver, 90s britpopper or early 00s poser they'll be something for everyone.

And because the party will finish at 7pm, you'll have time to run off for a nice evening stroll, head home for Match of The Day, or you can just hang around at The Nightingale and have a few more drinks.

The Strines Nightingale has excellent transport links from Manchester, Stockport, Sheffield and London. Check here for more travel info - https://strinesnightingale.com


With a strict door policy of no under 30s (please bring ID) there is no chance of you rubbing shoulders with anyone who can't sing the entire version of Babies or Going Underground!




SUN 6th JULY from 1pm...

TREE MUSIC NUMBER  No. 6


STILL NOT DISCOVERED TREE MUSIC? It might be the regular event you’ve been dreaming of 🍃🍂🌿Our next woodland instalment of the multi-media volk gathering (once described as “Wogan for Wombles”) will take place on SUNDAY 6th JULY and it might be the most action packed event yet!!!

Fanzines? Records? Badges? Yup!!! It’s all getting a bit exciting at our home-from-home @strinesnightingale … see you on Sunday 6th July (there might even be birthday cake) 🎂GET INVOLVED ♥️🌿🍂🍃

Bored of festivals? Try a NESTIVAL!

SAVE THE DATE - SAT23RD/SUN24TH AUGUST in the grounds of our very special local pub @strinesnightingale (Near Marple). LOADS more to announce!

Gaz Brookfield 16/10/25

Kathryn Williams 23/10/25

Kathryn Williams 23/10/25

Following the release of his tenth studio album, Waiting For Wisdom, Gaz Brookfield
takes to the road once more.

Folk/Punk festival favourite, Brookfield has been at this for a while now. Since
winning Acoustic Magazine Singer/Songwriter of the year way back in 2010 he has
continued to tirelessly tour the length and breadth of the country, building a strong
and loyal following where he goes.

His last album, Morning Walking Club, saw Gaz achieve his first top 40 record, and it
even got number 1 in the UK Official Folk Charts. Not a bad result for this fiercely
independent musician, with no record label, no manager, and no agent – just a
guitar, a van, and a steadfastly belligerent refusal to give in.

Kathryn Williams 23/10/25

Kathryn Williams is a British, Mercury Prize-nominated singer-songwriter. With 17 albums under her belt in the last 27 years, her last solo album, Night Drives, debuted at #2 in the official folk album charts, while her last album, a collaboration with Withered Hand titled Willson Williams was nominated for the SAY and AMA awards. Label One Little Independent celebrated her career (thus far) with a 20-CD and two-book box set, Anthology, strewn with her artwork.

Joshua Burnside 24/07/25

Kathryn Williams 23/10/25

Joshua Burnside 24/07/25

Joshua Burnside is an experimental folk songwriter, singer and producer. He takes influence from alternative electronica and Irish folk, chopping and blending them with a mixture of found sounds, world 

music and unorthodox production methods.


While his award-winning first album Ephrata took in lush landscapes, technological horrors, night terrors and wistful Columbian vistas (set against a bed of Irish folk, cumbia rhythms, and electronica), his critically acclaimed second Into The Depths Of Hell, took a far darker approach. Melding swirls of clanging metallic found sounds, alt-rock, and Irish songwriting traditions were supported by UK and US national radio and international tastemakers NPR, Guitar Magazine, CLASH, The Guardian, The Times and more.

His third album, Teeth Of Time, sits comfortably and confrontationally between the alt-folk realms of Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens while retaining the indie singer-songwriter and traditional folk elements of Josh’s signature songwriting.

Mark Radcliffe & David Boardman Nov 14th '25

 

Mark and David are singing, songwriting, strumming and swigging buddies from the Badlands of the Cheshire Plain.

Radcliffe has been on BBC national radio since the early nineties and currently hosts the Radio 2 Folk Show and weekend breakfast on 6Music. He is also the author of five bestselling books, the latest being ‘Crossroads’ In Search Of The Moments That Changed Music’. Previously a member of folk-rock bands The Family Mahone and Galleon Blast, he is currently one half of electronic duo UNE and drummer and lyricist for Americana band Fine Lines.

David Boardman. A consummate guitarist and guitar teacher, David cut his teeth on the rock circuit with Darktown Jubilee touring not only the UK but also North America and Canada. A gifted visual artist, Boardman met Radcliffe in their hometown of Knutsford where their writing partnership soon paid dividends.

Their act is one of classic simplicity: two voices, two guitars, some great original songs, the odd carefully chosen cover and the occasional rambling anecdote. It might not sound like much, but they seem to be getting away with it….so far.

Riley Baugus Nov 13th '25

Mark Radcliffe & David Boardman Nov 14th '25

Mark Radcliffe & David Boardman Nov 14th '25

Riley Baugus represents the very best of old time American banjo and song. His powerful singing voice and his expert musicianship place him squarely in the next generation of the quality American roots tradition.

Riley is a native of the southern Appalachians. The Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina is where his roots lie, and he grew up learning the music and art of storytelling of the region from older musicians in the area. His solo show consists of a focus on banjos, ballads, stories and songs.

ABM are delighted to be working with Riley on a November 2022 tour: Banjos, Ballads, Stories and Songs of the Southern Appalachians.

He has toured in the UK for many years with Ira Bernstein, as one half of the hugely popular Appalachian Roots project. He has played at Celtic Connections several times with Dirk Powell, and also toured with Tim Eriksen in the States, as part of the Cold Mountain film tour, and as a duo.

Riley has also recorded with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, and with Willie Nelson  – both T-Bone Burnett projects.

    accessibility info

    Basically, as it stands currently ( and we are working on this with the arts council for next year….)


    We dont have disabled toilets. 


    The outdoor areas are not mobility or wheelchair friendly at all as it stands. 


    Indoor gigs are usually fine for wheelchairs but the toilet cubicles are quite narrow.  


    We are really sorry for this, its a 250 year old pub going through a big transformation. Its very much on our agenda to fix this!
