Tom Mcrae

About

Following the sell-out full band tour marking twenty-
fi
ve years since his debut
album, Tom McRae brings his career-spanning solo show to intimate venues
this Autumn — an evening of live music and storytelling that moves between
the beloved and the overlooked, with the wit and honesty that has made him
one of Britain's most enduring singer-songwriters — alone on stage with a
guitar and a catalogue that has quietly accumulated some of the
fi
nest songs in
British folk and alternative music.
BIOGRAPHY 2026
McRae's critically acclaimed debut earned him nominations for the Mercury
Prize, a Q Award and the BRIT Award for Best Newcomer. In the quarter
century since, he has built one of the most quietly devoted audiences in British
music across ten albums — from
Just Like Blood
and
The Alphabet of

Hurricanes
to his most recent record
Étrange Hiver
— while resisting every
fashion that might have made him more famous and every shortcut that might
have made him less himself.
This evening draws from the full breadth of that catalogue. Expect the songs
you know by heart, a few you'd half forgotten, and the candid, witty storytelling
between them that makes a Tom McRae show feel less like a concert and more
like a long conversation with someone who has been paying close attention to
the world
