TWO CONCERTS FOR AUGUST
FRIDAY 9TH - RILEY CATHERALL & EMILY LAWLER
For our first concert we welcome Riley Catherall and Emily Lawler.
Riley is a singer songwriter based in Melbourne, whose graceful trajectory into the Australian alt-country world has not gone un-noticed. He has built a credible status as one of Australia's most promising songwriters through his poetic sincerity and alluring live shows. He released his debut album 'When I Go' in 2022. He released his second album 'The Light, The Beautiful Liar this month. Both contain songs that are beautifully constructed and immaculately delivered.
Riley is probably best known as the lead guitarist and The Wildes. He is in the UK for two months touring with the band followed by a country wide solo tour.
Sharing the bill with Riley will be Emily Lawler. Emily is well known to THL audiences, having played two support lots over the years and more recently with Lachlan Bryan in July. At the latter concert she stunned the audience with her pure, dynamic voice. As well as her own solo slot playing guitar she will also accompany Riley on violin, singing duets and backing vocals.
It will be a lovely evening and one not to be missed,

The second concert is on SATURDAY 31ST when JULIAN TAYLOR headlines
In August 2023 Julian Taylor from Toronto and his all-girl UK band played THL's concert of the year. Julian's has been part of the musical fabric and landscape of Canada for over two decades. It is rare in this era to see an artist build slowly and reach a new level of widespread acclaim both is his home country, the UK and Europe.Over the year's he has released twelve studio albums, but it was not until 2020 that he enjoyed a breakthrough with the release of 'The Ridge'. With that album Julian found a whole new audience and worldwide acclaim. In 2022 he released 'Beyond The Reservoir' and in 2023 his profile in the UK skyrocketed after his appearance in front of thousands at The Cambridge Folk Festival/
Julian's songs are so lyrically and sonically rich. Live, he takes his audiences on an emotional journey, full of highs and lows.
Now, in 2024 he is back in the UK with the same band to play several prestigious Festivals and selected indoor venues. This is definitely a concert not to be missed. It will be special.
