Indie Singer-Songwriter Night comes to The Fox and Newt Leeds on the 20th of October.  Charlie Smith (On tour) joins 4 local artists for a night of independent singer-songwriters. 

Charlie Smith My name might be common but my style is alternative. I'm Charlie Smith a singer-songwriter from Hampshire, UK. My sound is chillingly sweet, raw, and emotive. In keeping my honest approach of recording with no unnecessary effects. Focusing on chords and melody above all else. I'm proud of my music not because it's perfect but because it tells a story.

HerOrangeCoat is an up-and-coming British singer-songwriter, specialising in sadness. After an initial flirtation with a heavily pop-inspired sound, the purchase of a ukulele radically changed the trajectory of her music, burying her deep into the emotional depths of acoustic melancholy. Her music is delicate yet rich, multi-layered and yet stripped back. Her lyrics often combine the short, shallow phrases written in her youth with the lived experience she has since acquired. Her coat is orange.

Brandon Symonds is an up-and-coming artist, who made a name for himself through his renowned blues guitar playing. He is a singer-songwriter, playing his original songs, as well as a few classic covers. A rising talent that’s not to be missed

Makks' music is hard to define, influenced by indie Americana, folk and pop and whatever he is listening to at the time, his songwriting tells personal tales of life and love that both move and uplift in equal measure.

Makk is currently releasing new music and is in the studio recording for an EP to be released late 2023.
