Jamie Lawson will be performing at The Narrative, a singer-songwriter showcase in Liverpool, tonight.Â
The English musician will be playing and sharing the stories behind his songs during The Narrative’s final event of 2024.
Lawson climbed to fame with his song ‘Wasn’t Expecting That’ which currently sits at 260 million streams on Spotify. In 2016, the song won Jamie the Ivor Novello award for ‘Best Song Musically and Lyrically’.
The 49-year-old songwriter was also the first person to be signed to Ed Sheeran’s record label, Gingerbread Man Records.
He will be sharing the stage alongside Simon Howard, a country-folk artist, and Rain Castillo.
Rain is known for being a main cast member in E4’s ‘It’s a Scouse Life’, as well as appearing on the 11th season of The Voice, making her way to semi-finals on Team Will. She is also a model for Liverpool Football Club and Converse.
What is The Narrative?
The Narrative is a monthly singer-songwriter showcase and networking event which promotes the talent and creation of music. The event is a pay-what-you-can scheme making it accessible for more people to attend.
Rheana Forrester founded the event in November 2023 and spotlighted artists, both big and small, from Merseyside and surrounding areas such as, Paul Nash (Frankie Goes to Hollywood), The Real People, Tom Williams (Red Rum Club), Zuzu, Dan Haggis (The Wombats), Martha Goddard and Euan Blackman.
Earlier this year, The Narrative was awarded the Early Career Promoter fund, which aims to help emerging promoters build sustainable careers in the grassroots music sector.
On Instagram, Rheana said The Narrative is “thrilled to apart of this” [the ECP fund].
The Narrative starring Jamie Lawson is tonight (Tuesday 3rd December) 7pm at Studio 3 in Arts Bar, Hope St.
