Hannah White and her Band will be hosting a special Christmas Show at The Sound Lounge on Friday 19th December.
Hannah will be playing tracks from her new album Fine Day along with some old favourites as well as some of her own Christmas songs. Tonught's special guest is local favourite and Sound Lounge icon Hannah Scott.
2025 has been a monumental year for Hannah White. At January's AMA Awards in London, in front of such dignitaries and fellow performers as Lyle Lovett and Candi Staton, Hannah won both UK Artist of the Year and UK Album of the Year for 2023's Sweet Revolution.
On Fine Day, Hannah, who has never been satisfied simply to repeat a successful formula has banished caution and taken her creativity to new heights. With her searingly honest lyricism that is less a trademark and more a way of life, and the inspiring level of musicianship she shares with her fellow players, it's fair to describe Fine Day as the album of her career.
It contains contributions from White's husband and fellow 2025 AMA UK Award-winner, Instrumentalist of the Year Keiron Marshall, on guitar and banjo, as well as such revered performers as pedal steel player Sarah Jory, Mike McGoldrick on low whistle, Gerry Diver on violin and two constants since the first days of Hannah's Nordic Connections line-up, Lars Hammersland on keyboards and Ole Ludvig Krüger on drums, guitar, banjo and trumpet, plus another longtime Norwegian collaborator, Svein Henning Berstad on bass.
Fine Day is a collection of songs that delve into the complexities of love, beauty and grief, but also confront the chaos, violence, and madness of today’s world with White's typical candour and bravery. From the opening chords of the fearlessly challenging 'Good Questions,' which demands answers from the supposed leaders that have broken our planet, you know that, as usual, no subject is beyond her lyrical scope.
Hannah Scott shall open proceedings, playing songs from her 2025 release, Absence Of Doubt, her third studio album and the first she has self-produced alongside acclaimed engineer/producer Adrian Hall (Tori Amos, Anna Calvi). Featuring a suite of songs inspired by the greatest of human emotions – love, parenthood, grief – and an unwavering yearning for life, even during its darkest moments.
In the 15 years she has been writing and performing, Hannah has become an exceptional storyteller. Her music is shaped by human connections, with family, in all its chaos and glory, sitting at the heart of her work. Her lyrics are powerful and poignant, and her voice feels strangely familiar, though you can’t quite put your finger on why. Her writing may be deeply personal but her music has a universal appeal that goes beyond the melodies you catch yourself humming in the days after listening to her songs.
Hannah’s career highlights include having her song No Gravity featured on the hit international TV series Grey’s Anatomy, recording a live session on BBC Radio 2 with Dermot O’Leary and opening for Madeleine Peyroux, performing to an audience of two thousand. She has also shared the stage with folk luminaries such as Seth Lakeman, Cara Dillon and Fairport Convention and has performed at festivals including Cambridge, Sidmouth and Manchester Folk. Equally at home in small venues, she thrives on the intimacy of performing in spaces where she can look audience members in the eye, and, of course, speak with them after the show.
