Singer-songwriter Natalie Holmes

“Such a gem of an artist” BBC Introducing

“Fresh, adventurous, and really assured.” Tom Robinson BBC 6

~

Known for her haunting yet uplifting alt-pop, Natalie Holmes is a UK songwriter whose music will resonate deeply with all identifying as a cerebral wanderer. Her debut album Vitamin Be (2022), praised by 6 Music and BBC Introducing, explored themes of mental health, self-reflection, and the profound effects of nature on both — all through a self-produced, organic yet dreamlike soundscape, capturing the complex nature of modern life.

This year marks the decade since Natalie was asked to perform alongside Above & Beyond as their vocalist, on account of her ethereal vocals, at venues like the Hollywood Bowl, Royal Albert Hall & Sydney Opera House.

With her second album Opposite Day (released Oct 2025), Natalie continues to convey the dizzying emotional highs and lows of today's world, crafting songs that hold emotional contradictions with both humour, grace and a pinch of grit. Inspired by artists like Aurora and Caroline Polachek, she aims to help listeners feel heard, grounded and uplifted — even in chaos.

Performing alongside violinist Boci, Natalie will present songs from both albums in a beautifully stripped-back setting, making full use of the church’s charming upright piano and spine tingling acoustics.

Performing with and SUPPORTED BY:

boci is a Bristol based violinist and songwriter creating genre-bending contemporary folk. Her use of violin loops, synths and effects pedals allows her to create cinematic, layered textures which evolve into dynamic full band arrangements. Classically trained, boci uses her violin freely and expressively as another voice, taking inspiration from folk playing styles. boci's music is deeply connected to her relationship with the natural world and time spent walking in the mountains of Scotland, Wales and the Lake District.

"truly feels restorative as well as contemplative and, at times, transcendental." ★★★★ - Songlines

ABOUT US
One of the inspirations behind Acoustic Nights @ The Barn is to introduce high-quality independent music at an affordable ticket price reaching out to the local lively community. The Barn concert buzz is an intimate gig aiming to attract the local neighbourhood and wider community creating an opportunity to make social connections and interact with others in an informal, friendly and entertaining environment.

Eating together is one of the coolest parts of the unique atmosphere where food and ethically sourced coffee is available prior to and at the concert interval.

The Barn Coffee Shop, based in Meanwood, an inner suburb of Leeds, love to see community activities and groups meeting in the coffee shop and exist to see loneliness reduced in the local area. Volunteering opportunities and training and work experience placements are available for local individuals including: young people, people with learning difficulties, those seeking work/returning to work, and the older generation looking to keep active. As a social enterprise, they give all their profit to help local community projects.

After covering overhead costs the Acoustic Nights door money is given to the artist as they depend on income from live performances to finance their expenses and music vision.
