About this concert
Fiona Bevan and Adam Beattie - Double Headline Tour
OVERVIEW:
Acclaimed Scottish singer-songwriter Adam Beattie ?Uplifting Reveries Of Love? (Mojo Magazine) and multi-platinum singer-songwriter Fiona Bevan ?Startling odysseys? (The Guardian) embark on a double headline tour of the UK this spring/summer in celebration of their new music releases.
Adam will be promoting the first single from his upcoming album Home Fires Burning; a homespun epic which explores family, legacy and belonging. Adam writes melodies inspired by the traditional fiddle tunes of his childhood, played on finger-picked acoustic guitar.
Fiona will release the first single from her upcoming EP First Woman On The Moon, a set of brand new songs exploring hope, love and female desire against a political backdrop. Fiona writes otherworldly melodies on piano and unique guitar tunings.
Since meeting onstage in London, Beattie and Bevan have been singing in close harmony and accompanying each other on guitar, piano and double bass.

BIOGRAPHIES:
Fiona Bevan is a multi-platinum Canadian-British singer-songwriter from Suffolk, with a delicate, passionate voice and a cinematic dream-folk sound, described by Björn Ulvaeus from ABBA as ?daring and exciting?, and creating ?startling odysseys that suggest Joanna Newsom and Kate Bush spine-tinglingly joined? (The Guardian).
Fiona has been teasing out singles from her self-produced EP, Girl With Telescope, including her dazzling exploration of post-heartbreak ecstasy ?Faultlines?, and her acapella
clarion call of female freedom and pleasure, ?Peaches?. She is about to start releasing more self-produced singles from her forthcoming EP ?First Woman On The Moon?.
Fiona has toured Canada, Australia and Europe, and is also a hit songwriter for Billie Marten, Aurora, Lewis Capaldi, Tom Walker, Kylie, Ed Sheeran, and has been working with ABBA?s Björn Ulvaeus to raise awareness and help songwriters in the music industry. She is published by Concord Music.

Adam Beattie is a Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist who has just released his fifth solo album to critical acclaim. Beattie is a ?master of powerful narratives? (????? RnR Magazine), writing original contemporary Scottish folk songs while also drawing rich influences from other roots genres. Adam uses beautiful, intricate, finger-picked guitar and a distinctive voice steeped in smoke and honey to create ?uplifting reveries of love? (MOJO Magazine).
The press described Beattie?s latest album, Somewhere Round The Bend, as ?Stirring Folk Balladry? (Line Of Best Fit) with Loud And Quiet Magazine writing ?the album is mesmeric?. Adam is about to start releasing singles from his forthcoming album ?Home Fires Burning?.
Adam is also a member of trad folk 12-piece supergroup Band Of Burns as well as hipster alt-folk band PicaPica on Rough Trade Records. As a multi-instrumentalist he has collaborated with Birdy, Lulu, Michael Chapman, Mikey Kenney and many others. Adam is published by Karousel / Wixen Publishing.

“Absolutely brilliant” TOM ROBINSON, BBC6Music
“That sh*t is scorching ass fire” Nile Rodgers
“A stunning debut album” MAIL ON SUNDAY, You Mag
Fiona Bevan is a multi-platinum Canadian-British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who grew up in Suffolk, UK, with a sweet, fiery voice and a soulful, cinematic indie folk sound, creating "startling odysseys that suggest Erykah Badu, Joanna Newsom and Kate Bush spine-tinglingly joined" (The Guardian). Fiona has just released her new single ‘Peaches’, from her forthcoming Girl With Telescope EP.
Written, performed and produced by Fiona, the EP is an emotional, organic, driving, uplifting, psychedelic journey. Her previous EP, ‘Wild Angels Sweet Demons’, was produced by Grammy award-winning engineer Robin Baynton (Mumford And Sons, Laura Marling, Isaac Gracie), released independently, and went straight to number 2 in France, and number 7 in both the UK and Canada iTunes singer-songwriter charts. The EP was an eagerly awaited follow up to Fiona’s debut studio album, 'Talk To Strangers', which was one of iTunes “best of 2014” and was released in UK, Europe, Australia and Japan in 2014 and in USA and Canada in 2015 in conjunction with Universal Canada.
Playing live, Fiona has toured Canada with Hawksley Workman, and in the UK with Ruston Kelly and The Wandering Hearts, after they met onstage playing at The Bluebird in Nashville; Fiona has also toured with Ed Sheeran, Nick Mulvey, Ingrid Michaelson, Adam Ant, and has played onstage accompanying Anoushka Shankar and Nitin Sawhney. In 2018 she was a judge for the Ivor Novello Awards. Fiona spent lockdown creating “Red Velvet Sessions”, a world-class HD livestream theatre in her living room with acclaimed Scottish singer-songwriter Adam Beattie.
In between releases Fiona has been working as a multi-platinum songwriter, writing hit songs for other artists including the award-winning number one song 'Little Things' for One Direction with Ed Sheeran, plus singles for LIGHTS, Lewis Capaldi, Aurora, Tom Walker, Billie Marten, Kylie Minogue, Backstreet Boys, Joy Crookes, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Mika, Matteo Bocelli, Natalie Prass and Matthew E. White. She has also recently been writing with Nile Rodgers, Lukas Nelson, Amos Lee and Luke Sital-Singh, and is the face of the Credits Due Campaign working with Björn Ulvaeus from Abba.
Fiona played a summer of UK festivals including official showcases at Manchester Folk Festival and Great Escape, plus Isle Of Wight, Victorious, Cheltenham Jazz, Timber, and Smugglers, and has also played Red Rooster and How The Light Gets In, and also toured the UK in 2022 as a double headline bill with Adam Beattie.
