Ft. Alice Faye + Julen Santamaria + Grayling + Kenneth-Noah Blair Alice Faye Alice Faye is a spellbinding singer-songwriter from Glasgow, blending 70s pop, 60s folk, country, and chanson into a sound both nostalgic and fresh.

Praised by BBC Radio 2, Nick Lowe, and Belle & Sebastian, you may recognise Alice from Channel 4’s The Piano with Claudia Winkleman, Mika, and Lang Lang. She has captivated audiences at festivals like Belladrum and Celtic Connections and sold out venues like Glasgow's Glad Cafe and London’s Green Note. Julen Santamaria Julen Santamaria is a Glasgow-born singer-songwriter raised in a bilingual Scottish-Spanish household, where he was immersed in a rich tapestry of musical influences from an early age.
