Sink or Swim presents Liz Stringer + Jessie Reid + Paul Gibson
Friday 10 October 2025
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£14adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Acclaimed Australian songwriter Liz Stringer made the move to the UK in early 2024, in pursuit of a new creative life. Venerated in her home country, Liz has twice been nominated for the Australian Music Prize, was premier folk festival Port Fairy’s Artist of the Year in 2023 and named as ‘An Emerging Legend of Australian Song’ by Woodford Folk Festival in 2020.

Liz has carved out a unique place in the Australian industry and a cult-like following due to her staunch independence as an artist and her ability to connect deeply with audiences. She achieves the rare combination of emotionally intricate, chest-heaving songs with her exceptional skill as a guitarist and piano player and her quick, sardonic wit, garnering loyal fans and the highest esteem of musicians across the world.

From 2020 to 2022 Liz toured as a backing vocalist with Australian luminaries Midnight Oil, has recorded an album at Wilco’s The Loft studios in Chicago and, most recently, created her newest release The Second High with producer/engineer Beni Giles (Lianne La Havas, Oscar Jerome) in Brixton, London. Released in March 2025, the album, described as ‘intelligent and assured’ by The Guardian, sees Liz broaden into a wider range of her musical influences, using jazz, soul and funk as a canvas on which to squarely centre songs which draw on themes of self-actualisation, social inequity and the dogged pursuit of truth and authenticity.

Liz will be playing a run of intimate solo shows in select venues in October. Do not miss this exceptional artist, experienced and revered in Australia and a shining new talent for audiences in the UK.

With very special guests Jessie Reid and Paul Gibson.

The Tin Music and Arts

Formed in the clearing mist of 2021, Trip Westerns are a 5 piece rock n roll / psych n soul outfit, based in Brighton with “their roots comfortably buried in the soil of mid-20th century rock and R&B, intertwined with lashings of surf and psychedelia – reveling in the twangy notes of spaghetti western soundtracks (see Ennio Morricone).” – Otis Hayes.

His band, Curtis Eller’s American Circus, has developed a devoted international following based on spellbinding stage performances that combine compelling songcraft with silent-film-style physical comedy, and explosive rock & roll energy.

“A founding member of critically acclaimed Scottish band The Delgados, Emma Pollock co-wrote and shared lead vocal duties on the 5 studio albums the band released between 1995 and 2005. 2000’s album ‘The Great Eastern’ was awarded a Mercury nomination.

In 1995 Emma co-founded influential Glasgow record label Chemikal Underground and in 1997 co-founded recording studio Chem19 with the band, both of whichcontinue to run today.

Following The Delgados’ split in 2005, Emma became a solo artist and has since released 3 solo albums; ‘Watch The Firewoks’ (4AD) in 2007, ‘The Law Of Large Numbers’ (Chemikal Underground) in 2010 and ‘In Search of Harperfield’ (Chemikal Underground) in 2016 which was nominated for the SAY Award 2016.

In addition to The Delgados and subsequent solo work, she has also taken part in many collaborative projects; most notably The Burns Unit featuring amongst others King Creosote & Karine Polwart, which resulted in 2010’s debut album for the band ‘Sideshow’ and a ‘Later With Jools Holland’ appearance.

2010 also saw the formation of The Fruit Tree Foundation with Rod Jones (Idlewild), a project commissioned by the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival to promote awareness of mental health issues within the music industry by producing an album of new material written by 8 Scottish songwriters.

Emma has also worked with Glasgow organisation Vox Liminis, which arranges songwriting workshops in Scottish prisons and released its debut album of original material ‘Not Known At This Address’ in May 2018.

During the pandemic in 2021 she worked as part of the Hen Hoose collaboration setup by artist MALKA, writing a song with Pippa Murphy. The album Equaliser, showcasing work exclusively written and produced by Scottish female/non-binary artists was released earlier this year.

The Delgados reunited for a short UK tour in January 2023, and played numerous festivals during the summer, including Primavera in Barcelona and Madrid and Glasgow’s infamous Barrowland.

Emma’s fourth solo album ‘Begging The Night To Take Hold’ is released on Chemikal Underground Records on 26th September 2025, with a UK tour planned for October 2025.”

Kathryn Joseph
Thursday 23 October 2025
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£16adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Known for her fearless storytelling, raw emotional depth, and unflinching honesty, Kathryn Joseph has made a lasting mark on contemporary music. A relentless pursuit of truth runs through each of her albums, from the devastating beauty of bones you have thrown me and blood i’ ve spilled (2015), which won the Scottish Album of the Year Award, to the grief-stricken intensity of from when i wake the want is (2018), and the haunting for you who are the wronged (2022), a powerful reckoning with abuse in all its forms.

Now, Kathryn embarks on a new chapter with her fourth album, WE WERE MADE PREY., set for release on 30 May via Rock Action Records. Recorded in the remote Black Bay Studio on the Isle of Lewis, the album explores the collision of want and loss, self-fulfillment and shame, embracing a newfound intensity—bigger, angrier, and full of want.

Joining forces with Lomond Campbell, Kathryn’s delicate yet visceral sound continues to evolve, seamlessly blending intimate, unfiltered lyrics with rich, atmospheric layers of piano, keyboards, and electronic elements. Their long-standing collaboration has been instrumental in pushing her music into darker, more experimental territory, amplifying the raw emotional power at its core.

Reflecting on the album’s transformation in the studio, she says, “The songs were angry, but in a small way. Until Lomond added all this beautiful noise, and suddenly they were angry in a much bigger way, in an exciting way, and so full of want.”

Marissa Nadler
Thursday 30 October 2025
7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
£15adv (+ booking fee)
The Tin At The Coal Vaults

The last we heard from Marissa Nadler, she was soaring through The Path of the Clouds and its companion EP, The Wrath of the Clouds. Now, on her tenth official full-length record, New Radiations, she returns with a raw, intimate, and breathtaking collection of eleven otherworldly songs.

From the first note, Nadler’s lush voice and intricate fingerpicking are front and center. She layers Everly Brothers–style harmonies over dreamlike, lonesome soundscapes—fuzzed-out distortion, Hammond organ, and ominous synthesizers—that elevate her warm vulnerability with texture and atmosphere. Each track unfolds like a vignette of a life lived, delivering emotional weight that “hits harder” with the curtain pulled back.

The Tin At The Coal Vaults

Pram set out on tour in 2025 with another LP on the horizon featuring a new member of the collective. The first release since 2018 sees the band build on their distinctive soundscape with added textures and a raw and powerful live show careering from eerie to bone-shaking.

Fliss Kitson has built a reputation as a commanding and charismatic drummer through her work with The Nightingales and Violet Violet. Her presence has cemented a new partnership in the rhythm section with Sam Owen firmly back behind the bass on a majority of numbers, exploring a path from Krautrock to dub and back. There is also a new musical relationship on vocals with Kitson’s

powerful pop sensibility off-set by Owen’s haunting and wistful presence.

The band still use a bewildering array of instruments and are unrepentantly unfazed by the possibilities of performing on anything and everything that seems appropriate. “It’s not possible to develop a facility on every instrument we want to use” explains founder member and multi-instrumentalist Sam Owen, “so we

simply don’t worry about it and look instead for the initial thrill of discovering a new sound”. The addition of mountain dulcimer and trombonist/theremin player Harry Dawes’ sometimes playful, occasionally mournful soprano saxophone are a testament to this continued experimentation in the new set.

The Tin At The Coal Vaults

A new show about extinct gigantic, charismatic, megafauna from 3-time Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominated Comedian, and very good comedian Josie Long. In these troubled times, in this wicked world, it can feel like apocalypse is everywhere but did you know 11,000 years ago there were some really big armadillos? I’m talking about as big as a car. Really big. And they were vegetarian so don’t even worry about them. Also my daughter has a hamster and I’m not saying distract yourself from everything, but I’m saying he’s also part of everything. Josie is back with a new show about discovery, wonder, extinction and how to walk through a landscape of monstrous disaster. There is also a good tip about silt, guaranteed.

***** The Skinny “If stand-up shows can be known to punch down, then [Josie] buoys us all up.”
