Music Little Sparrow / Tracey Browne
2026-06-20 19:30 - 22:30
Little Sparrow and Tracey Browne
Little Sparrow

Little Sparrow is singer/songwriter Katie Ware, a title that came from Elbow front man Guy Garvey, affectionately calling her ‘Cockney Sparrow’ it lead onto her stage name ‘Little Sparrow’.
Drawing influences from the likes of Kate Bush, PJ Harvey and All About Eve, Little Sparrow’s music creates songs that are filled with a blend of styles woven into the colourful tapestry of her music, often with a mysterious fairy tale quality.
The critically acclaimed debut album ‘Wishing Tree’ had regular airplay on BBC Introducing, BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 2 as well as regular regional and international radio plays.
She has supported established folk favourites such as Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman, Blue Rose Code, The Cadbury Sisters and Beth Rowley – over recent years she has opened for Eddi Reader, Ian McCulloch (Echo and the Bunnymen) and Mike Scott (The Waterboys).
“A breathtaking vocalist delivering original and beautiful songs. An incredibly gifted songwriter with a great stage presence and a gorgeous voice.” Chris Hawkins – BBC 6Music and BBC Radio 2
“Her voice is pure and lovely and she possesses a natural talent as a writer and singer.” Simon Raymond – Bella Union Records
Tracey Browne
Tracey Browne has been making music and independently releasing recordings since 2001, when she used her final year university project to record and release her first album of original songs.
A few years later, Tracey obtained a training position at Airtight Productions, a recording studio based in Chorlton, Greater Manchester. She trained as a recording engineer under Tom Knott of The Earlies and this gave her the skills and opportunity to work on new music of her own. She released her self-produced EPs ‘Tooth and Nail’ in 2007 and ‘The Cat and the Moon’ in 2009.
Tracey was employed as Thea Gilmore’s band’s touring sound engineer; but her ability to play multiple instruments and sing was noticed and she soon joined the band as a backing vocalist, guitarist, bassist and pianist.
Tracey released two full length solo albums – ‘Everyone is Ordinary’ in 2012 and ‘The Doctrine of Song’ in 2017
Post Covid pandemic, Tracey took a hiatus from recording, writing and gigging; returning to the music
circuit a couple of years ago , she is currently working on new material for 2026.

Jazz Hannah Brine Quartet
2026-06-25 19:30 - 22:00
HANNAH BRINE QUARTET
THURSDAY 25TH JUNE 2026

This summer, 2025, saw the release of Hannah Brine’s debut album, Blue Sky Now, and her first tour, taking in venues including the Buxton Opera House (supporting Rumer), Bridgewater Hall and Rough Trade (London).
Produced by guitarist Jamie McCredie, the album features an all-star cast including Jamie Safir / Hamish Balfour on piano, Ian King on bass, and Chris Draper on drums.
The songs are all deeply personal and cover the period of her life which saw Hannah leave London to start a new chapter up in Derbyshire’s Peak District, where she has now developed a keenness for growing vegetables!
Much of the material is written with Hannah’s long-time collaborator Michael Garvin (23 #1 hits including George Benson/ J Lo) – and is inspired by their shared love of folk-pop from the 60s and 70s, and the Great American Songbook.
LINE-UP FOR DAVENHAM
The musicians making up the quartet playing alongside Hannah in Davenham will include the following who are well known to the Davenham audience.
Keyboards – Dean Stockdale
Drums – Gaz Hughes
Bass – James Owston
