Nerina Pallot

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.
