Gaelynn Lea + Miss Jacqui

Since winning NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest in 2016, violinist, singer and songwriter Gaelynn Lea has captivated audiences around the world with her haunting original songs and new takes on traditional fiddle tunes.

In 2022, she contributed a bewitching soundtrack to the production of Macbeth on Broadway starring Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga. Now she will be touring the UK for the first time since 2019 to launch her soundtrack album Music from Macbeth, released thanks to a Whippoorwill Arts Fellowship. Alongside new music from the album, Gaelynn will be performing a wide selection of favourites from her back catalogue.

One of Gaelynn’s biggest passions is promoting Disability Culture. She co-founded RAMPD [Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities] in 2022 and has since connected with d/Deaf and disabled artists globally, including Ruth Lyon and James Holt in the UK. She has also collaborated with artists as diverse as Michael Stipe, The Decemberists, and the industrial rock supergroup Pigface.

With support from Miss Jacqui.

Miss Jacqui is a multi-talented artist who is known for her powerful poetry and soulful music. As a Spoken Word Artist and Songwriter, she has a unique ability to weave together words and melodies to create a message that is both thought-provoking and inspiring.

But Miss Jacqui's talent goes far beyond her ability to create beautiful art. As a wheelchair user herself, she has faced many challenges and obstacles throughout her life. However, she has never let those challenges define her. Instead, she has used her experiences to become an advocate for people with disabilities and a voice for those who may not have one.
