About this event

---

Join us at Future Yard for a rich, creative experience that blends sound, story, and soul - featuring the acclaimed Kathryn Williams with stellar support from Matt Deighton and Mike Ryan. A true artist in every sense, Kathryn Williams is a Mercury Prize-nominated singer-songwriter, novelist, and painter whose work spans nearly three decades and 17 albums. Her delicate, heartfelt songwriting and evocative storytelling have made her one of the UK's most respected voices. Her last solo album Night Drives debuted at No.2 in the official folk charts, while her collaboration with Withered Hand (Willson Williams) earned nominations for both the SAY and AMA Awards. Kathryn's creativity stretches far beyond music - her acclaimed novel The Ormering Tide, her celebrated "Before the Light Goes Out" podcast, and her extensive collaborations with artists like Paul Weller, Chris Difford, and Beth Nielsen Chapman showcase her rare ability to move effortlessly between art forms. Recognised as the only woman in the Top Ten Greatest Liverpool Songwriters of All Time, Kathryn continues to inspire and innovate. This special night celebrates the release of her new album Mystery Park, bringing together an intimate mix of music, poetry, and art - performed alongside the brilliant Matt Deighton, known for his time fronting Acid Jazz heroes Mother Earth, playing guitar for Paul Weller, and even being Noel Gallagher's pick to replace him on tour. Opening the evening is Wirral's own Mike Ryan, a two-time Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge winner, whose indie-folk and melodic-rock sound has graced venues including the Liverpool Philharmonic Music Room and Future Yard. His latest album The Space Where You Should Be captures his ability to craft songs filled with honesty, warmth, and melody. A night of connection, creativity, and pure artistry.?Immerse yourself in words, sound, and soul at Future Yard - where music meets art and poetry under one roof.
