Lauren Housley & Nigel Wearne

English singer-songwriter, Lauren Housley, and Australian troubadour, Nigel Wearne, instantly hit it off when they both appeared at the Folk Alliance International in 2019. Nigel and Lauren spoke about the future of folk music, the similarities and differences of their respective hemispheres and their mutual admiration of John Prine, all the while sharing their dry wit.

At the core of their craft is their mutual love of storytelling. This special presentation sees intimate acoustic performances from each artist, in a celebration of cross-continental connection. Culminating with the locking of harmonies and melding of styles, Lauren and Nigel will close the show with a soul-stirring set together.

Fresh from being awarded the prestigious 2022 Bob Harris Emerging Artist accolade, 2023 is looking to be a hugely important one for Lauren Housley and her band with a bold new line up, and brand new album on the horizon. Based in South Yorkshire, Lauren’s music deals with love, loss and the turbulence of growing up and learning about life, her music brings a refreshing air of optimism and heart-warming hope with an empowering belief in oneself to overcome obstacles.

Hailing from Gunditjmara country in the deep south of Australia, Nigel Wearne saunters after dark in the music of the night. Blending blues, folk and Americana-noir, he's a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist with diverse influences from Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Gillian Welch. A deep thinker and truth speaker with a penchant for all things peculiar, he sings of human frailty, grace and the cosmos; songwriting that cuts to the bone.
