Amelia Coburn
Plus Alice Faye
Unusual. Vivid. North East talent.
Amelia Coburn has a knack for making the unusual sound timeless. Her honest, occasionally hilarious and quintessentially north-eastern persona disarms and beguiles in equal measure.
Drawing inspiration from gothic literature and the shadowy allure of film noir, there is a darkness at the heart of many of her songs, populated by vivid characters and nocturnal creatures that inhabit the liminal space “between the moon and the milkman”.
With a new album around the corner, Amelia embarks on her biggest full band headline shows to date.
