James Yorkston and Nina Persson

In celebration of their collaborative upcoming record release ‘The Great White Sea Eagle’ on 13.01.22 on Domino records, James Yorkston, Nina Persson will be joining MV for this special headline show.

James Yorkston
James Yorkston, the gentleman-songwriter of the East Neuk of Fife, has released (with or without The Athletes) a series of albums of tenderness and melody, insight and empathy. His eye for the details in life and the richness of his brogue make a Yorkston song instantly recognisable. Making him one of the most exciting contemporaries of the genre to date.

Nina Persson

Nina Persson is a Swedish sing-songwriter also known as the lead vocalist and lyricist of Alternative rock band The Cardigans. As a solo force, Persson is renaissance woman creating a broad array of music which delves into styles such as indie, synth pop, folk, and alternative rock.

Amy May Ellis 

Amy May Ellis grew up in the middle of the North York Moors. It was there, in a small venue called the Band Room, that she played her first shows, guesting for artists such as Michael Chapman, Alessi’s Ark, Hiss Golden Messenger, Tiny Ruins, Ryley Walker and Willy Mason.

Since 2018, Ellis has released a series of 4 EPs, each exploring an element; Weathered by Waves, We got Fire, Where my Garden Lies, and When in the Wind have all received support from BBC 6 Music, BBC introducing, Uncut Magazine and Rough Trade. They have also fuelled headline tours around the UK and Ireland and landed Ellis a spot at Brighton’s Great Escape festival.

Now based in Bristol, Ellis is recording her debut album, which is set for release on Lost Map Records in 2023.
