The Early Doors Club at The Snug w/ Lilla Shy + Tom Bright

Lilla Shy, with special guest Tom Bright, live at The Snug

Friday April 23rd, doors 6pm

Lilla Shy brings her new album, The Blood We Share, to The Snug, with special guest Tom Bright.

The album is her second, released on March 19th and produced by Mercury Prize-nominated songwriter Ed Harcourt, whose work includes Paloma Faith, Marianne Faithfull and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. It’s bigger and more expansive than her DIY debut, but still rooted in her extraordinary voice and intimate songwriting, with songs about sisterhood, womanhood, independence, strength, trauma and the freedom of living life on your own terms. She’s gone from bedroom beginnings to the London Palladium and Glastonbury, and the new singles have been backed by BBC Radio 2, BBC Introducing, Radio X and Spotify.

On this spring tour she strips it all back to just her voice, her guitar and the room. It’s a rare chance to hear the heart of the record up close, in a venue that suits it perfectly.

Opening the night is Tom Bright, one of the UK’s most compelling songwriters and someone Guy Garvey of BBC 6 Music has called “the excellent Tom Bright”. He was once the UK’s youngest pub landlord, and that life shows in the empathy and honesty of his songs. He’s played Glastonbury five times, the London Palladium and Shepherd’s Bush Empire, and appeared on The One Show, and he’s shared stages with The Libertines, Tom Grennan and Mystery Jets. His 2025 album, Young Old Bloke, was produced by Mick Jones of The Clash alongside Dirty White, and he’s now working on his fifth album with Blaine Harrison of Mystery Jets.

Two songwriters, one small room and an early finish.
