FRIDAY JUNE 26

BLAIR DAVIE

Scottish singer-songwriter Blair Davie is one of the UK’s most compelling emerging talents, celebrated for a rare voice that resonates deeply and songwriting that
blends intimacy, vulnerability, and emotional honesty.
Like Alex Warren, Dermot Kennedy, Tom Odell, and Lewis Capaldi, Blair’s music explores themes of identity, loss, love, and joy, drawing deeply from personal experiences and the stories of others whose voices deserve to be heard.

Blair has received Amazon Music UK Rising Star recognition and was shortlisted for the prestigious Ivor Novello Award, cementing their reputation as one of Scotland’s most promising young artists.

Earlier this year, they supported James Arthur at London’s The O2 and Glasgow’s OVO Hydro….

And now we get to witness Blair up close and personal… it’s going to be epic…

FRIDAY AUG 21st - MARK MORRISS (THE BLUETONES)

Tickets on sale SUN APR 26 at 9am - link in bio! 👆

And for our penultimate tipi session of 2026, we’re extremely excited to have the one and only Mark Morriss come throw it down tipi style. Get your tickets QUICK - it’s going to be an incredible night of original music!

“The symbolic of Morriss’ style as a solo performer; a serious love of music and song tempered with jocularity. It makes for a set of easy-going acoustic songs and a camaraderie that brings a warmth to the winter that gathers around us.” – Louder Than War

Best known as the lead singer for The Bluetones, and now also having been a solo artist since 2008, Mark Morriss has spent the best part of 3 decades honing his craft as a live performer.

During that time he has released 6 albums with The Bluetones, including 14 Top 40 singles, 4 albums as a solo artiste and collaborated with Matt Berry and the Maypoles, Mike Wilton, and The Helicopter Of The Holy Ghost on tours and on record.

As a live performer Mark is able to blend songs from his extensive back catalogue with stories of his time on the road, providing an entertaining show that prides itself on never being the same twice.

“Spellbinding; passionate, humorous and open – the sound of a singer who could take on the world.”– On-Magazine.

FRIDAY JULY 24 - POLLY PAULUSMA

ON SALE SUN APR 26 at 9am - Link in bio! 👆

So thrilled to finally manage to get Polly in the Tipi - one of those artists who has paved her own path with pure class and will be bringing her gorgeous music to the Tipi this July.

Polly Paulusma emerged with her self-produced debut ‘Scissors in My Pocket’ in 2004, earning widespread acclaim for its intelligent folk-pop sound. She has supported legendary artists including Bob Dylan, Jamie
Cullum, Marianne Faithfull, and Coldplay, and performed on major stages such as Glastonbury, T in the Park, V Festival, and Cambridge Folk Festival.

In 2012, Polly founded label Wild Sound, nurturing a new wave of indie-folk talent. Alongside her music career, she completed a PhD exploring the influence of folk music on author Angela Carter, which inspired her 2021 album Invisible Music. Her most recent album Wildfires, produced by the legendary Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Laura Marling, Ray Lamontagne), was released February 2025 to extraordinary critical acclaim.

The Tipi Sessions 2026!

Without further ado - let’s get these sessions kicked off in TIPI STYLE.

FRIDAY MAY 29th - 7:30pm

Introducing our very first artist to get things going - the utterly incredible , ANNIE MAJIN.

This girl is a supreme TALENT. One of them ones you just know has that ‘thing’. And we are so lucky to have her.

Annie Majin is a rising star song stylist of the Great American Songbook and beyond. Known for her whip-smart stage presence and powerful storytelling abilities, Annie will be performing a handpicked selection of refurbished jazz standards, featuring original lyrics and familiar tunes from Broadway’s Golden Age. Backed by a burning rhythm section featuring London’s finest instrumentalists. Expect a vintage sound with quality musicianship. Annie forged her own path in the scene at a young age, singing at venues such as Crazy Coqs, Ladbroke Hall and Green Note. In 2024, she made her theatre debut in Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 at the Donmar Warehouse, and most recently appeared in Cable Street at the Marylebone Theatre, and consequently its off-broadway transfer in Spring 2026. 

Prepare to have your socks well and truly knocked off.

See you in the Tipi! X
