Keeley Forsyth featuring Matthew Bourne

Sunday 18 May 2025

This event has passed.

Acclaimed singer Keeley Forsyth returns for a rare and stripped back performance, accompanied by Matthew Bourne on piano.

In recent years, Keeley has worked with many esteemed collaborators, including Ben Frost, Colin Stetson, Teho Teardo, Louis Carnell, Gazelle Twin, Evelyn Glennie, Yann Tiersen and Hiro Ama.

With 3 critically acclaimed albums now behind her, Forsyth has become a leading and sought after performer, known for the raw emotionality of her singular vocal ability and striking physical performance. She has left an indelible mark on stages around the world, including Dark Mofo, Le Guess Who?, LEV, CTM, Unsound, Pitchfork, Rewire and Donaufestival, and tonight returns to an unplugged voice and piano performance.

This new tour is an opportunity to experience Keeley Forsyth in an intimate setting alongside collaborator Matthew Bourne, as they perform their new collection, among other works.

Keeley and Matthew will be supported by Floco.
