St George's Bristol: A Cultural Extravaganza of Art, Music, and Insight

Discovered while working as a publishing assistant at Mute Records, Nerina Pallot signed to Polydor Records and released her first album in 2001. The release of her critically acclaimed second album Fires in 2006 drew comparisons with Joni Mitchell, Fiona Apple and Tori Amos, and spawned hit singles Everybody’s Gone To War and Sophia, plus Brit Award and Ivor Novello nominations.

Now two decades into her career, Pallot’s rich and varied back catalogue suggests an artist determined on carving her own path, and as a live performer she has built a reputation as a peerless musician who is as compelling solo as she is with a full band. After a sell-out show at the London Palladium in 2024, where she played the entirety of Fires, she is taking the same show to other UK cities. Featuring a full band and string section, it promises to be a magical night encompassing her most loved album and songs from across her career, including those from her latest album A Psalm For Emily Salvi. Born from an unexpected connection, the record is both a love letter to those who have supported her over the years and a tribute to the power of music in the face of adversity.
