About this event

Acclaimed singer/songwriter – live event

Kitty MacFarlane’s music is described by The Observer as “Startlingly poetic”, and her debut album Namer of Clouds was one of The Guardian’s Best Folk Albums of 2018. Her music is rich with visual imagery and written with an eco-eye. Her trademark lies in remarkably mature songwriting, a marked empathy with the environment and a strong sense of place. Carried by a clear voice ‘controlled yet wild’ (Folk Radio), her lyrics touch on intervention and rewilding, climate change and migration, woman’s age-old relationship with textiles and the land, and the changing face of the natural world. From the starling murmurations on the Somerset Levels to the lowly eel’s epic transatlantic migration, the coasts and estuaries of the South West and the small part we ourselves play in a much bigger picture, her songs are bound by the underlying theme of mankind’s relationship with the wild. Cerebral and topical, honest and immediate, these are not throwaway lyrics or everyday melodies but thought-provoking and evocative compositions with wonderfully crafted soundscapes.

This is the Tolmen’s reopening event, and we are excited to host an artist as talented and relevant as Kitty MacFarlane, whose work will resonate with contemporary audiences.

The gig will be held under the current Covid rules: online booking only through the website, a maximum of 64 tickets to allow for social distancing, no cafe, masks to be worn, doors 7pm.
