SUMMARY:Anne Gair
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome the wonderful Anne Gair to Pickering during the tour for her gorgeous debut album of original songs which has already received wide praise. \nAnne’s music is a heady mix of genres with nods to indie folk\, country americana\, blues and jazz\, with strong vocal melody lines and a penchant for harmony and open tunings. \nAnne played at The International Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow in January 2025\, releasing her debut single Steal Away that same month. \nHer debut album Cigarettes and Smokescreens was chosen as Album of the Week on Celtic Music Radio in November 2025\, and went on to be nominated for Album of the Year. Anne’s fifth single\, Blank Spaces\, was included in the Fatea Winter Sessions 2025. \nOriginally trained as an actor at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama\, Anne has toured widely on stage performing both Joni Mitchell covers as well as her own original material\, and is endorsed by Cole Clark Guitars and G7th Capos. \n(Anne’s) voice is beautiful\, just gorgeous — Nerina Pallot \nThe event will be held in The Black Swan in a separate room with a cosy atmosphere making it a lovely setting for live music! The room has easy access to the bar which will be open as usual\, so arrive any time before the show starts if you’d like to enjoy a drink or two beforehand. There will also be an interval. \nWe’ll check tickets into the performance space from 7pm to allow plenty of time to arrive and find a seat before the music starts at 7.30pm with a special guest opener from Carrie Martin. \nTickets can be booked below\, by contacting Pickering Book Tree\, or on the door while spaces are available. We hope to see you there! \n  \nAbout the Musician\nIn Cigarettes and Smokescreens Gair has delivered a remarkable debut … it flows as confidently as the incoming tide — Neil King\, Fatea Magazine \nWith an extensive performance history\, Anne has toured throughout the UK and abroad both as a solo artist and lately with her ensemble\, The Anne Gair Band. She has played at prestigious venues including The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall (Celtic Connections 2025)\, The 100 Club\, The Cavern Club\, The Hard Rock Cafe\, The Voodoo Rooms\, King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut\, Belladrum Tartan Heart festival\, and regularly performs to sold-out audiences in venues and theatres across the country. \nAnne possesses a passion for writing in alternative open tunings and pushing genre boundaries which has drawn comparison to Laura Marling\, Joni Mitchell\, John Martyn\, and Imelda May\, as she lets each song breathe and travel where it needs to go. \nAnne Gair’s contributions to new music make her an up-and-coming artist being touted as ‘One of Scotland’s most promising songwriters’. \nWhen not on stage\, you will usually find her in a field in Scotland\, in the middle of no-where with her two retired horses. \nWhat a lovely song\, beautifully written. A masterpiece — Paul Johnson\, writing for Folking.com about the single White Horses \n  \nFind Out More\nFollow Anne on Facebook or Instagram \nRead more about Anne on her website \nFind Anne’s music on Bandcamp or YouTube
