ALBERT’S SONGWRITERS SHOWCASE

Mice in a Matchbox bring a decade of musical alchemy, blending old and new tracks with their signature lively flair. Known for electrifying crowds at festivals like Glastonbury and Nozstock, these local BBC favourites are ready to turn Albert’s Shed into a pocket-sized festival. With two albums under their belt and a third on the way, expect a set that’s equal parts nostalgic and fiery.

Then, Birdbrother take the stage with their dreamy, psychedelic folk. Guitarist/vocalist Philip Stapley and multi-instrumentalist Paul Beadle craft tales of love, life, and spirituality, weaving melodies that nod to Nick Drake and John Martyn. Fusing delicate vocals with vibrant flute and mandolin, they’ll transport you to a world of calm and contemplation. Their 2025 album Counting on the Sun is already setting waves, and live, their magic is unmissable.
