Suthering – Folk Duo
Front Room Weston-Super-Mare, Weston-Super-Mare, BS23 1FF
Evocative and distinctive, Suthering (Julu Irvine & Heg Brignall) transport audiences with exquisite vocal harmonies and their message of hope during hard times. They bring chemistry and humour to the stage, championing female characters, creating new narratives for women and unearthing the female heroines of folk.

Leave a light on is Suthering’s second studio album. Produced by Sean Lakeman (Levellers, Seth Lakeman), the album is a bold new direction in sound for the duo. It’s a poignant and powerful exploration of themes affecting the social and political landscape. The album is a collection of personal reflections, captivating stories and modern day songs of protest and unity.
“These songs have a rawness and an honesty about them. It’s more personal than our first album and Sean’s influence has helped push our sound in a new and exciting direction. We can’t wait to tour it.” – Heg Brignall, Suthering
“Beautiful harmonies. Two excellent singers”
Genevieve Tudor, BBC Radio
“Excellent musicians, beautiful harmonies and a fresh approach to traditional music”

The Front Room is a fantastic addition to Weston’s cultural scene. The team brings quality work into Weston, which wouldn’t get to be seen otherwise, and provide a unique platform for local artists to perform.

The Front Room is fantastic. I have seen so many brilliant shows there in the short space since they opened. It is brilliant. It is exactly what Weston super Mare has so badly needed.

Great to have this venue in Weston super Mare! On the site of the old pizza express, this theatre has fully accessible facilities and refreshments available on site. We saw a brilliant family show put on by Kid Carpet and the Noisy Animals. Fantastic!
