Water Rats · London

This Halloween, acclaimed singer-songwriter Hannah Rose Platt returns to London's legendary Water Rats with her full band, The Deathbed Confessions, for an unforgettable evening of gothic folk/rock and cinematic storytelling. Celebrated for her spellbinding live performances and critically acclaimed concept albums, Platt weaves together folklore, history and the macabre into songs that are as haunting as they are heartfelt. Expect rich harmonies, immersive arrangements and an atmospheric night of beautifully dark tales to mark the season. Hannah Rose Platt is a singer-songwriter with a cinematic eye and a poet’s ear, crafting haunting, imaginative records steeped in melody and myth. Known for her flair for the macabre and piercing narrative depth, she creates genre-bending music that feels like live folklore, intimate, eerie, and unforgettable.

Lucy Farrell and Shane Pendergast

Water Rats · London

Rooted in the rich traditions of English and Maritime folk music, Lucy Farrell and Shane Pendergast bring together two distinct yet complementary voices in contemporary folk. Lucy Farrell, a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner, is celebrated for her poetic songwriting, unconventional melodies, and the crystalline clarity of her voice. Known for her work with The Furrow Collective, Eliza Carthy and the Wayward Band, and a host of other acclaimed collaborations, Farrell has carved out a singular place in English folk with her elegant, understated tenor guitar and viola arrangements. Her solo work reveals a deep lyricism and a rare ability to make the strange feel familiar, and the familiar feel extraordinary. Shane Pendergast, hailing from Prince Edward Island, Canada, carries forward a long lineage of Maritime storytellers and songkeepers. A troubadour of the East Coast, his plainspoken yet profound songwriting has earned him recognition at folk festivals worldwide, as well as Contemporary Roots Album of the Year at the Music PEI Awards for Second Wind (2021). His 2025 release Winter Grace offers a deeply personal reflection on the joys and hardships of life in the Maritimes. Together, Fa...

Green Note Presents: Lady Nade

Water Rats · London

Experience multi award-winning songstress Lady Nade live as she brings her highly anticipated album Identity to the stage. Blending roots, folk, soul, Americana, jazz, blues and pop, the show offers sanctuary, encouragement and a powerful celebration of self-love and self-expression. Featuring the anthemic BBC Introducing Song of the Week ‘One Of Us’; the soul-soothing ‘Rainbow’; and the retro-infused, inspired pop of ‘Sober’, as championed by Cerys Matthews on BBC Radio 6 Music. Identity is about being seen, being heard, and discovering the freedom of fully inhabiting who you are. Lady Nade writes with honesty and vulnerability, balancing emotional depth with warmth, positivity and hope. As noted by Americana UK, her music is rooted in lived experience and a belief in its power to foster connection, compassion and healing. Live band shows with some of the UK’s finest musicians, an evening designed for connection, reflection and shared experience. Identity invites those who love electric, soul-folk rooted songs to come exactly as they are and to celebrate all the things that make them who they are. “Love her voice – check her out.” — Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio...

Green Note Presents: The Celtic Social Club

Water Rats · London

Ten years after their inception, THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB are still thriving upon their traditional heritage, but also widening their influences to the richness of other genres and cultures. THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB have been pursuing a fascinating journey in the modernization of traditional tunes from Brittany, Ireland, Scotland and Asturia, to make a few. On their third LP, the band have never sounded so tight and powerful, nor so relevant and fresh, with great reviews on both sides of the channel. Recorded and produced in France, then mixed in the US by Manu Masko and New-Yorker Ariel Borujow (Black Eyed Peas, Cee Lo), these ten new tracks demonstrate the idiosyncratic synergy between tradition, songwriting and live energy. THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB are forging a new way to bridge the gap between Celtic, rock and pop music with compelling authority. After shows in USA, China, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Turkey, the Czech Republic and Algeria, new live dates are coming up in the UK and Ireland. Traditional yet progressive, original yet fast becoming a new sensation at venues throughout the world. THE CELTIC SOCIAL CLUB are a vital link between the past and the future of music. Line up...
