Launching a new series of music sessions, taking place monthly on a Saturday afternoon.
For our first event, Jonni Slater will be launching his new album Between the Shadows, plus Mima Merrow will be playing a set of her poetic, evocative songs.
JONNI SLATER
Jonni performs music which ranges from intimate and heartfelt to uplifting and cinematic, with video projections of self-made short films to accompany the songs.
His new album, out on 7th November, features songs that explore the bittersweet nature of memory and of the imagination – moments we have to leave behind us and the lives we could have led – as well as empathy and compassion for the experiences of other people and for the fragile natural world around us.
Singles from the album have had airplay on BBC Radio Scotland, Amazing Radio, and local stations across the UK. Jonni’s 2023 single with Dora Lachaise, Sign on the Door, was named in The Herald’s top 100 tunes from Scotland that year and described as “a memorable slice of class”.
MIMA MERROW
Mima Merrow is an Irish singer-songwriter based in Glasgow.
Her sound is a unique blend of alternative folk characterised by longing, sudden changes in direction, and melodies that ache. Fascinated by the relationship between our environments and bodies, her thoughtful lyricism is held together by intimacy, honesty, and stories that challenge her listeners.
Mima released her debut album, Almost Home, in September 2022. It explores the idea of home; where it is, who is allowed there, the rituals and rites of passage that bring it together.
Since releasing her first single, Freckles in 2020 her music has received airplay on BBC Radio 6, BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio Foyle, BBC Radio Scotland, features in Scotland on Sunday and reviews via SNACK magazine, The Skinny and The Music Files.
