The Magic Lantern https://the-magic-lantern.co.uk/gigs is singer-songwriter/composer Jamie Doe, an artist blurring the boundaries between folk, jazz and contemporary music. Born in Australia before moving to the UK at 12, The Magic Lantern has released four albums and toured the UK, Europe and Australia alongside This Is The Kit, Sam Lee and Alabaster Deplume among. With an ensemble drawn from Sydney’s thriving alternative jazz scene, The Magic Lantern’s live show captures a rare emotional immediacy through Jamie’s arresting vocal lyricism and piercing lyrics, with songs that examine the limitless depth of the human experience with devastating, joyous results.
Opening the night will be Ofri. Ofri is a Sydney-based singer-songwriter whose unashamedly candid lyrics and intricate piano-vocal arrangements form a particular (and peculiar) brand of chamber folk. Expect part 90s art-pop revivalism, part Lilith Fair, part freak folk – yet completely, utterly Ofri.
