NADIA REID LIVE WITH STRINGS

New Zealand singer-songwriter Nadia Reid made her name with deeply personal folk songs, including the Silver Scroll-nominated Richard, which she later performed on Later… with Jools Holland. Now four albums into her career, she is bringing one of her least-seen live setups to Hastings.

Reid has only performed with strings a couple of times, giving Hastings a rare chance to hear her songs this way. Henry Ward Hall is the perfect venue too: its horseshoe gallery curves around a room built for unamplified music, so those strings should sound spectacular beneath its high ceiling.

Doors open at 7 pm and tickets cost £24, including booking fees. This is an 18+ show with unreserved seating, so arrive early if you want your pick.
