About This Event

Matilda Mann and Sophie May will share the stage at Newcastle University on Saturday 10 October 2026, with doors opening at 7pm. The West London songwriter Mann, whose work draws on influences like Laura Marling, crafts intimate, emotionally layered songs that explore the uncertainties of modern life. Her set is matched by Sophie May’s own measured, introspective style, resulting in an evening of quiet intensity and shared vulnerability. The performance takes place in the university’s live room, where the acoustics carry every lyrical nuance with precision. Tickets are priced at £20.

Emerging as one of the UK’s most compelling new voices, Matilda Mann has built a reputation for crafting intimate, emotionally rich music that captures the beauty and uncertainty of modern life. Raised in West London and inspired by artists such as Laura Marling, Mann developed her songwriting from an early age, using music as a deeply personal outlet for storytelling and reflection.

Her second album, Kismet , marks a confident and uplifting new chapter in her career. Following the emotional turbulence explored on her debut album Roxwell , Kismet embraces themes of love, hope, fate, and emotional clarity. Rooted in Mann’s belief that certain moments in life are destined, the album offers listeners warmth, escapism, and optimism through lush soul-pop melodies and tender folk arrangements.

Inspired by legendary artists including Al Green, Carole King, and Bill Withers, the record blends timeless 70s influences with contemporary sensitivity. Tracks such as “After The Love” and “Forever And A Day” showcase Mann’s gift for pairing vulnerable lyricism with dreamy, cinematic production.

A graduate of the BRIT School, Mann has toured with artists including Arlo Parks and Tom Odell, while selling out headline performances at KOKO. With Kismet , she continues to establish herself as one of the UK’s most exciting and emotionally resonant emerging artists.
