Sara Petite + Paper Fence

Black Cat Music is proud to present....

Sara Petite (solo show)

With support from Paper Fence

An outlaw country headliner whose music reaches far beyond the genre's borders, Sara Petite has built an award-winning career with songs that owe as much to the rock & roll roadhouse as they do the honky-tonk.

Hers is a raw, rough-edged version of American roots music, delivered by a five-time International Songwriting Competition finalist who's spent nearly two decades calling her own shots. Sara has no interest in chasing trends. She's too busy chasing the muse instead, earning a wide range of accolades — including Top 40 success on the Americana charts, international airplay, and more than a half-dozen trophies from the San Diego Music Awards — along the way.

SunYears + Richard Olson

Trotwood Events are delighted to welcome SunYears to the Betsey for their UK debut plus special guest Richard Olson (The Hanging Stars).

Tickets here: www.wegottickets.com

With a variety of sonics ranging from wistful folk, Beatles-esque harmonies and psychedelic guitar jangle to singer-songwriter-nerve and shimmering balladry the melodic wisdom of SunYears makes its UK debut live two days before playing the Kilkenny Roots Festival, Ireland. 
SunYears is driven by Peter Morén (Peter Bjorn And John) as a new angle and fresh start after a long life spent in music. It's an open minded creative songwriting outlet situated somewhere between band and solo as Morén mainly plays with the same musicians, on stage and in the studio! 
The debut "Come Fetch My Soul!" (Yep Roc!) came 2023 and included guests like Ron Sexsmith, Kathryn Williams and Fruit Bats.It was nominated for a Swedish Manifest award (the Indie-Grammy basically.).
The follow up "The Song Forlorn" expands on the debut with an even wider range of styles but stays true to the live based guitar-oriented format. It got rave reviews in different territories and included guests like Lisa Hannigan, Madison Cunningham and Nicole Atkins.
Live, Morén and his musicians range from a whisper to a scream with dynamic, intuitive combo playing and an intimate feel. When the urge hits they dip the toe in the never ending well of rock, pop and soul-history and perform a few covers. 
There's been Bowie, Sandy Denny, Stax, Motown, even rockabilly. Who knows what might happen this night!  
Come and check for yourself! Morén produced Robert Forsters 2025 album "Strawberries" and tours in his liveband. He has also contributed guitar on the last three Stockholm recorded James Yorkston albums. 

”It’s a broad church...the overall effect is of a man ticking his own boxes with craft and glee"

★★★★ MOJO

”Once more showcases a limber way with guitarpop. Best of all is the title tracks twanging, reverb-drenched smooch”

7/10 UNCUT

”a hopeful, lyrically strong record with plenty of uplifting moments to help maintain a happy/sad balance. For all the shape-shifting it’s a curiously coherent and satisfying listen.” SHINDIG

”There certainly is something for everyone here.”

@americana_uk_ 8/10

Support comes from Richard Olson, singer/songwriter in the Hanging Stars and no stranger to the Betsey. He's currently busy prepping for the release of Hanging Stars album #6, so we're glad he's finding the time to sing for us. He'll be performing songs from throughout his illustrious career. which includes band like The Eighteenth Day Of May, The See See and the Sleeping Flies and The Super 8 Group.,

John Harris: ‘Maybe I’m Amazed - A Story of Love and Connection in Ten Songs’

John Harris: ‘Maybe I’m Amazed - A Story of Love and Connection in Ten Songs’

An honest and intensely moving book about the struggle of being a parent with an autistic child, and the power of connection through a shared love of music.

Journalist and broadcaster John Harris shares the personal, moving story behind his book ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’, exploring love, loss and connection through 10 transformative songs. An intimate afternoon of storytelling, reflection and music.

Tickets here: www.wegottickets.com

Long before he became a parent, John Harris obsessively went to gigs, started a band, and pursued a career in music writing. He had no idea he was actually preparing himself for the greatest challenge of his life. When his son James was diagnosed with autism, aged 3, music became their main form of communication, a hugely shared passion and – it is no exaggeration to say – the sound that saved them. In his incredible book, ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’, John describes how the likes of The Beatles, Ian Hunter, Kraftwerk, Funkadelic, The Velvet Underground, Amy Winehouse and more were soon woven into the fabric of James’s life, becoming an essential part of who he is. In this powerful, moving memoir, John takes us through the struggles of raising an autistic child in a prejudiced world, and uncovers a hidden history of neurodivergence and creativity that casts new light on why music speaks so powerfully to the human mind.

Come and join us for an afternoon of chat and live music. To complement John’s talk, we will also have live music from a terrific band, The Johns (“Rock ‘n’ Roll gave birth to triplets and called them The Johns”), who will be performing some of the songs that feature in the book, along with others.

There will be an audience Q&A on conclusion of the interview, and a book signing at the end.

Joana Serrat + Elaine Palmer

We are delighted to welcome back Joana Serrat and Elaine Palmer to the Betsey for an afternoon of cosmic Americana and delightful singer/songwriting.

Tickets here: www.wegottickets.com

JOANA SERRAT Hailing from Vic, but recently relocated to London, the Catalan singer/songwriter has released six critically acclaimed albums (“…like Mazzy Star guesting on an early Neil Young demo,” Mojo), performed on the biggest festival stages across Europe and the USA and supported artists including The Jayhawks, Neko Case, Courtney Marie Andrews, The Handsome Family, and Israel Nash, while performing headline shows across the globe, including the UK.

Her music is a perfect blend of Dream Pop, Folkgaze and Cosmic Country with echoes of Cocteau Twins, The Velvet Underground, Fleetwood Mac and Fairport Convention

She’ll be performing a full band set with her brand new band of London music scene veterans (including members of The Hanging Stars, Lightshines and The See See).

ELAINE PALMER Hailing from an isolated village up on the North Yorkshire Moors, Elaine has spent much of her life travelling back and forth to family in Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up in an old Watermill, she immersed herself in music, writing songs influenced by her surroundings both in the UK and USA. Elaine finely honed her distinctive voice and built a reputation as much for her emotive, mesmerizing stage presence as for her fusion of British folk and American country styles.

Touring extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Patty Griffin, Lilly Hiatt and Seasick Steve, her two most recent releases Half Moon Rising and Some Seek Silver, Some Seek Gold have seen her working with musician and producer Mike Butler (Phoebe Bridgers, Norah Jones, The White Buffalo) at his Half Moon Lodge studio high in the San Diego hills.

Rachel Love + Telecom + Keiron Phelan & Peace Signs

Rachel Love is founding member of late '70s, early '80s group Dolly Mixture who were championed by John Peel and signed to Paul Weller’s Respond label. Born out of punk they also had a love of ‘60’s harmonies and created their own guitar pop sound.

Tickets here: www.wegottickets.com

Rachel’s solo career started more recently, her first album”Picture in Mind‘ in 2021, produced by her husband Steve Lovell [Blur, Julian Cope]. The second album ‘Lyra‘ was released in 2024, co produced with her son David which is a tribute to Steve. These are about to be released on Slumberland Records.
Now joined by David and the rest of his band, Telecom, they play a selection of her own songs with some Dolly tracks added to the Mixture!

Telecom – hot new band out of Brighton. “With a blend of melodic vocals and instrumental harmonies that echo 1960s psych pop and contemporary electronica, TELECOM form a unique dynamic. Capturing their influences, they create their own original sound.”

Keiron Phelan and Peace Signs return to the Trotwood with their '70s tinged baroque chamber pop. Black sheep philosophers, time travelling step-daughters, sixth form poetry, '70s pornography, swiss army knives, imaginary friends, new best friends, long dead friends and more. Shades of Kevin Ayers, a whisper of John Cale, a suggestion of Marc and a soupcon of Harley, with Neil Hannon leading the protest march.
"A brightly lit soundworld, capricious magic and some subtly warped reality." MOJO

Clerkenville East-West and Decor are delighted to welcome back legendary US musician Chris Stamey to the Betsey Trotwood, following his two sold out shows at the venue in 2023. This will be a matinee with music starting at 2pm and ending around 5pm.

Tickets here: www.wegottickets.com

Chris Stamey is an indie-rock icon with a long and illustrious history that’s encompassed co-founding seminal avant-pop band The dBs, playing with Alex Chilton in the 70s, and more recently with Jody Stephens's Big Star Quintet. His upcoming album, Modernism (June 19 but available at show) was conceived as a companion piece to 2025’s lauded Anything Is Possible (with guests the Lemon Twigs), and is a further “love letter” to the kaleidoscopic variety of music heard on AM and free-form FM radio in the 1960s and early 70s. It features many of his favorite songs from that era, with special guests such as Jody Stephens (Big Star), Pat Sansone (Wilco), long-time cohort Mitch Easter, Probyn Gregory and Nelson Bragg (formerly of the Brian Wilson band), The dB’s, NC legend Wes Lachot, and Emily Frantz (Watchhouse), among others. First singles are “Hey Bulldog” (with Stephens) and “Waterloo Sunset” (with The dB’s).

As a producer and a featured singer/songwriter with the Paris-based Salt Collective project, he has collaborated with Matthew Caws (Nada Surf), Juliana Hatfield, Richard Lloyd (Television), Matthew Sweet, Aimee Mann, Andy Partridge, The Lemon Twigs, Mike Mills, and Lynn Blakey, among others. As a producer, arranger, and mixer, he has worked with over a hundred artists, including Alejandro Escovedo, Kronos Quartet, Flat Duo Jets, Skylar Gudasz, Branford Marsalis, Tift Merritt, Le Tigre, Those Pretty Wrongs, Ryan Adams, and Yo La Tengo.

Other tracks on the new record Modernism include Sly and the Family Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” (featuring the Uptown Horns, Brian Dennis [DAG], and Jon Wurster [Mountain Goats, Superchunk]), “Shadows Breaking Over My Head” by the Left Banke, “Hernando’s Hideaway” (from The Pajama Game, and a 1954 hit for Everly Bros. producer Archie Bleyer), “At Last” (by Harry Warren), as well as three new interpretations of his own earlier tunes. There’s also a closer of the Rolling Stones’ “Ruby Tuesday,” a version produced by Alex Chilton in 1977.

He is also a member of long-running indie/roots 'supergroup' Continental Drifters, featuring members of Dream Syndicate, The Cowsills and The Bangles. Peter continued to record and play live with fellow dB's legend Chris Stamey and, after reconvening in 2005 for a series of rapturously received reunion shows, The dB's would go on to record a new album and tour again .

During this special show, Peter will present his new album, The Face of 68: a personal and layered work in which he reflects on his life, music, and the years that shaped him.

The Last Of The Lovely Days with support from Lovejoy

THE LAST OF THE LOVELY DAYS

After a run of well received and sold out shows in Brighton, indie-poppers The Last of the Lovely Days are set to make their London headline debut, returning to The Betsey Trotwood on Sunday 28th June 2026 for a matinee show in the main bar. Still riding high after the release of their highly regarded debut album ‘ No Public House Talk’ (John Clarkson at PENNYBLACK’S album Of the year 2025) The Last of the Lovely Days, will be playing songs from the album, some new material and as ever some choice covers. Joining them on the bill will be the highly rated Lovejoy (more details below). A wonderful sonic cocktail for a summer Sunday afternoon in the city, this show is not to be missed but don’t just take our word for it….

Praise for ‘No Public House Talk’

“The Last of the Lovely Days have released one of the indie pop albums of the year with ‘No Public House Talk’.” PENNYBLACK

"What might have happened if Kirsty MacColl had collaborated with choice players in the ‘80s-to-‘90s guitar-led underground crowd. Replete with resourceful angles and arrangements, as well as thoughtful songcraft." FREQ

"A lovely jangly guitar pop beast of an album wrapped lovingly with charming melodies and hooks that will linger and help your day be a much more enjoyable experience." MONOLITH COCKTAIL

"Spiky indie pop, this release feels like a first in spirit; lyrically sharp and musically spry." SHINDIG!

“The melodic confidence of The Smiths or maybe the Yardbirds, filtered through a 21st century lens, the album picks carefully from the indie pop spectrum to create a satisfyingly complete listen." RnR (****)


LOVEJOY

Releasing a string of well received albums and singles during the late 90s and early 00’s, Lovejoy made a surprise return in 2024 with their acclaimed new album ‘…And It’s Love!’ This was followed swiftly by a reissue of their debut album and a collaboration with Creation Records’ Alan McGee on their 2025 single ‘Let There Be Love’. With a new album and further reissues in the pipeline, this is a rare London solo performance by the little known but highly rated Lovejoy frontman Dick Preece.

Come take a trip on the strip with dynamic renegade BRUNO BOF and baroque-a-billy psych-crooner TURTLE BOULEVARD with band.

The charismatic Bruno Bof will open proceedings with a solo set brimming with high octane garage rock riffs, visceral wit and infectious hooks.

"If Mark E. Smith, Captain Beefhart, and Kim Fowley were all raised from the grave by a tweaking necromancer and charged to raise a babe from infancy to teenhood, you might get something akin to Bruno Wilkinson" - Travis Shosa, Counterzine.

Bruno has played with Beak, Damo Suzuki, Mozart Estate and a whole bunch more.

Turtle Boulevard will be performing an expanded set joined by his Blue Lagoon House Band with Szymon Cygański on violin, Ellisha Izumi on keys, Teo Kosanović on bass and Thomas Ingram on drums. Turtle will be exhuming the sonic palettes of Joe Meek, Ry Cooder and Arthur Lee’s Love via slapback warbling guitars and fruity vocalisations.

In addition to live staples ‘Pylon Lover’ and ‘Sasha the Flasher’ (a compulsive photographer…), Turtle will be débuting ‘Achilles in Heels’, the tale of a glamorous vigilante and Antonioni dream-prog ‘Wandering Psyche’. Turtle will also share some snaps of the Blvd. on a 35mm projector to help illustrate this musical tour.

The Lost Songwriters Tour feat. Adaya + Adele H + Bob Spring + Russel Joslin

THE LOST SONGWRITERS TOUR

A roadshow of alternative folk, dark country and experimental pop songwriters

In January 2025, four songwriters drifted together for a one-off show in the small Swiss village of Ins. Their contrasting takes on contemporary songwriting slotted together like a strange jigsaw puzzle and they formed a connection based on the seeds of kinship and late-night discussion. It was decided they should join forces elsewhere for more concerts to see where the journey took them …

So, the Lost Songwriters tour was born. Don’t miss these special gigs!
Tickets here: www.wegottickets.com


ADAYA (CH)
Adaya weaves spellbinding early folk-influenced songs which accompany us through the creature-filled wilderness of her Swiss homeland and broadcast poetic messages to humankind. On other days, whisked away, she provides ethereal vocal and woodwind toplines to the magnificent sound of globetrotting pagan-folk band Faun.

ADELE H (IT)
Primordial, experimental, pop songs using minimal piano and a hauntingly daring voice. An unexpectedly philosophical mind-trip directly into the emotions many of us cannot find words for. A cool, uncluttered musical breeze from the mountains of northern Italy.

BOB SPRING (CH)
Dark country with a big heart. A man who lives his songs completely. Gritty melodies that balance vulnerability with rebellion. No banter is needed, let Bob’s voice and poignant songs take you down the road and into his story.


RUSSELL JOSLIN (UK)
With a guitar style reminiscent of a grunge-soaked John Fahey, plus keening vocals that drift towards the gravitas of 16 Horsepower’s David Eugene Edwards, London-based Russell Joslin is a distinctly 21st-century songwriter who is not afraid to use folk traditions to examine today's splintered society and find the connections between us all.

ClerknWell ARTSlab

Come and get stuck in with ClerknWell ARTSlab's incredible bill of clowning, song and spoken word - upstairs at The Betsey Trotwood on 4 March:

Hear We Ahh: Blah blah blah. Clown and sound and silence. Angels. Beauty. Ugly. Waiting. For... Hear We Ahh are a dadaist clown soundmaking duo, an absurdist dialogue of intimate strangers saying nothing. A strange place to be.

Archie Shuttler brandishing just one epic song from his upcoming album Cowboy Jazz about a fella he holds to be one of history’s greatest unsung heroes - until now.

Richard Allen - stand-up poet writer-ranter singer-strummer works poetic comic folk-punk poke-funk hip-hop techno music-hall mash-up tonguetwist rhythmrhyme genius profound profanity profane profundity will make you laugh think think laugh laugh think again. John Hegley meets John Cooper Clarke, gets drunk with Dr Suess and vomits through TS Eliot's letterbox. "Inspired" – The Independent

Tom Conrad Johnson is a folk musician from North East London. He plays the guitar and sings. "He uses writing as a form of staggered escapism. The music and lyrics hold the door open for each other, to walk through one note at a time, all boozy and in need of somewhere to rest." Honestly, this  understates it. Just come and listen to this voice and these songs.

£10 on the door.

Get stuck in.

Miller Sessions // The Poet & The Trail - Songs Of Joaquin Miller + Simon Breed + Girl Like That

Miller Sessions // The Poet & The Trail - Songs Of Joaquin Miller + Simon Breed + Girl Like That

Judge, cook, horsethief, editor—and poet.
Joaquin Miller (1841–1913) was a true original of the American West, and now, his wild, untamed poetry is brought to life through music.

Tickets here: www.wegottickets.com

In this intimate concert, Espen Langbråten sets Miller’s poetry to music in a raw, modern Americana style—staying true to the spirit and honesty of the original texts. With a selection of handpicked poems and stories from Miller’s life, Langbråten paints a vivid picture of a man who lived a dozen lifetimes in one.

From the Oregon Trail to the California Gold Rush, the Pony Express to London’s literary salons, Miller’s journey is as dramatic as his verse. You’ll hear songs that capture the sweeping landscapes, the danger, the adventure—and the deep emotional undercurrents—of 19th-century America.

Blending music, imagery, and storytelling, this concert offers a powerful, heartfelt tribute to a forgotten voice of the frontier.
When you listen, you’ll almost feel the wind on Mount Shasta—or the spray from the deck of the Santa Maria.

Artist Bio – Espen Langbråten

Espen Langbråten is a Norwegian singer-songwriter with a deep-rooted passion for storytelling through music. Best known as the frontman and primary songwriter for the band Helmers Hage, Langbråten has been an active voice in the Norwegian music scene for years. His songs have been featured multiple times on NRK (the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation), earning national recognition for their lyrical depth and melodic strength.

Earlier in his career, Langbråten was the guitarist for Bristol Songs, a band that toured extensively in England during the early 2000s.

His latest project, The Miller Sessions, explores the life and poetry of the forgotten American poet Joaquin Miller. Through a unique blend of Americana music, narrative, and visual storytelling, Langbråten brings Miller’s vivid world back to life—bridging the gap between 19th-century poetry and contemporary sound

Maggie May Treanor + Steady Habits

Maggie May Treanor debuts at The Betsey Trotwood.

This award-winning UK Americana artist brings an authentic approach to the genre. Raised on a working horse farm, she offers a truly authentic sound that weaves a line between the classic country vocals of Emmylou Harris and emotive storytelling of Jason Isbell.

"Treanor held the knowledgeable clientele transfixed”. Americana-UK.com

With her music generating over 200,000 YouTube streams, this Irish/English/Spanish artist is quickly catching the attention of the global Americana scene. Collaborating with top-tier producers and musicians – including 2 x Country No1 producer Dan Mizen and 4 x Grammy winning Chris Wilkinson, she's crafting a sound that's both familiar and refreshingly original.

Steady Habits - acoustic set

The inimitable Sean Duggan of Steady Habits will perform an intimate acoustic set.  

Hailing from New Haven, Connecticut, Sean was co singer-songwriter of Loud Mountains, the harmony-driven band he formed with his brother Kevin Michael Duggan in 2014. Steady Habits was created when Kevin set sail to Nashville, Tennessee in 2019. Sean will be performing his widely acclaimed original Alt-Americana songs full of outstanding lyricism, stoic sensibility and addictive hooks.
