Bill Ryder-Jones is a singular voice in British music—an acclaimed songwriter, composer, and producer known for his emotionally rich and deeply personal sound. Starting as guitarist for The Coral, he’s since crafted a celebrated solo career with albums like If…, A Bad Wind Blows in My Heart, and Yawn.
His latest release, Iechyd Da (2024), is his most ambitious yet—blending lush strings, gospel choirs, and disco textures into a moving collection praised by Uncut as “a sonic exchange of love” (9/10).
A sought-after producer (Yard Act, Michael Head, Saint Saviour) and recent touring guitarist for Arctic Monkeys, Ryder-Jones is also renowned for live performances that are intimate, honest, and quietly powerful.
Support comes from Georgia Ruth, an Aberystwyth-born musician whose folk-rooted sound won the Welsh Music Prize in 2013. Her new album Cool Head (2024) spans Americana and 60s folk, offering a candid, nocturnal journey co-produced with Iwan Morgan.
An unforgettable night of raw beauty in a stunning setting.

Georgia Ruth
An addictive blend of soul, jazz, folk and hip-hop, influenced by the melancholy beauty of the Anne Briggs, Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell songs found in her mother's record collection. She is a highly talented harpist too. Raised bilingually in Aberystwyth, Wales, Georgia’s haunting voice has earned her favourable comparisons with the melancholy folk sirens of the late 60s. Her unusual harp playing was inspired more by the guitar on Bert Jansch, Meic Stevens and old folk revivalist records than by the classical method she was taught as a child. She has performed at Glastonbury, Green Man Festival, SWN and several other festivals
