BMI presents… Dolly Mavis | Margarita Sleepover | Laura Beckwith | Cold July and Broken Window
Join us for a gorgeous night of acoustic live music headlined by Dolly Mavis, as we bring an un unplugged session into our intimate and atmospheric gallery setting. June’s gig is a nod to Folk, Americana and Country with artist citing these genres as inspiration.
As ever the BMI gigs bring you a mixture of established acts on the ascent and will introduce you to new artists, fresh on the scene and lots of local talent too!
Dolly Mavis
Fresh from appearances at Glastonbury, Wychwood, Camper Calling and The Long Road, Dolly is touring the UK playing songs from her stunning debut album ’The Calm And The Storm’.
Beneath Oxfordshire’s starry skies on the echoes of South Wales, Dolly Mavies serenades under a harvest moon, weaving tales of life’s mysteries.
Her melodies enchant the soul, and her lyrics deliver a visceral punch. ‘The Calm and The Storm,’ her eagerly awaited debut album, has garnered critical acclaim and secured support from BBC Introducing, BBC 6 Music as one of Tom Robinson’s favourites, and Absolute Radio as Artist of the month.
Channeling a timeless quality, her music is like an old friend – familiar and reassuring yet brutally honest and unexpected. With authenticity and a natural energy, she effortlessly navigates from fiery rock passion to gentle folky lullabies, each note resonating with heartfelt sincerity.
Joined by her exceptional band, when they step onto the stage, it’s not merely a performance; it’s an experience. Her music moves the soul, blurring eras and genres with heart-wrenching lyrics and foot stomping, spirit-igniting anthems.
Dolly Mavies has already graced the stages at Glastonbury, Wychwood, Camper Calling, The Long Road, Rowachella and more, and her star is most definitely on the rise.
