Don't miss award-winning Australian singer-songwriter Emily Barker at Drygate on 29th January as part of Celtic Connections 2025!
About Emily Barker and Ernest Aines
Emily Barker is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Western Australia. Her song “Nostalgia” was the theme for the acclaimed BBC crime drama “Wallander” starring Kenneth Branagh. Her songwriting has been acclaimed by The Guardian - “Emily Barker has a gift for great melodies”. She has toured extensively, including with Frank Turner and Mary Chapin Carpenter, and was the 2018 UK Americana Artist of the Year. Barker's first collection of poetry Where The Black Swans Swim was published this year through UK publisher Broken Sleep Books.
When she was recording her latest album Fragile as Humans at The Wool Hall, producer Luke Potashnick suggested they do a couple of covers - 'Tonight, Tonight’ felt like an obvious choice for Barker and the band set about creating a version that took the song in a rolling, acoustic Beck "Sea Change"-esque direction.
Support comes from Australian alt-folk artist Ernest Aines, who brings his soulful voice and masterful guitar work to Celtic Connections. Blending folk, indie, and acoustic styles, Aines’ solo performance showcases heartfelt storytelling and evocative melodies. Prepare for a moving experience as he shares songs of connection, comfort, and timeless beauty with captivating intimacy.
