Nerina Pallot, the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter known for her heartfelt lyrics and soul-stirring melodies, brings her solo Winter tour to Hull.
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. She has recently lent her distinctive vocals to songs like Circus from Amazon’s Modern Love and her version of Love Will Tear Us Apart on BBC/RTE’s Normal People.
The creation of her latest album, A Psalm for Emily Salvi, is a deeply personal endeavour. 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. One day, Pallot received a message from a woman named Emily (not her real name), who shared how Pallot’s music had been a lifeline during her darkest moments. That message became the catalyst for the album, a reminder of the importance of perseverance, connection, and vulnerability.
On the East Coast of England, with beautiful historical buildings, lively entertainment, bustling shops, traditional pubs and tasty restaurants, Yorkshire’s only waterfront city of Hull is a hidden treasure.
After a successful inaugural event in 2023, this competition returns, inviting choirs from across the globe to showcase their talents. Hull, known for its vibrant cultural life and historical beauty, offers the perfect backdrop for a celebration of music, that celebrates the diversity and unity of the choral world.
The choir competition in Hull offers categories for each type of choir, from Musica Sacra to Pop, Jazz & Gospel. Participants will also benefit from Evaluation Performances, where they’ll receive direct feedback from internationally acclaimed choral experts.
As a city with a rich choral history, from early church music to modern initiatives with a focus on outreach and inclusivity, Hull is eagerly waiting to welcome choirs from all over the world to this “singing city” again. Join in and sing with us in Hull!
