Join us for a very special triple-bill in November with these three accomplished songwriters. Daisy Chute, Ed Blunt and Hollie Rogers have individually worked with the likes of Radiohead, Beth Nielsen-Chapman, Chris Difford and more, and are no strangers to high profile festivals, including Glastonbury. In this unique show, they will all share the stage for the duration, swapping instruments as they share songs and stories in-the-round. The setlist will comprise a mix of their individual solo material played as a trio and songs they have written together as a writing partnership. Expect a blend of storytelling, humour, and outstanding musicianship from these three friends and collaborators – plus new songs from each of their most recent projects. With Grammy-award winning Daisy Chute on banjo and “gorgeous vocals” (Guy Garvey), Hollie Rogers’ critically-acclaimed songwriting, guitar & “magnificent, powerful voice” (Suzanne Vega) and Ed Blunt’s exquisite piano stylings and “quiet genius” (Chris Difford, Squeeze), this exclusive line-up promises to deliver a unique Hilltop Session.
