NATALIE HOLMES & BOCI | in concert | The Barn Coffee Shop Meanwood | Leeds 10 10 26

In Oct 2026 we’re privileged and honoured to host a concert with 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.

Both Natalie & Boci are known for their warm and intimate performances, so you can expect to sit back and be bathed in a warm hug of mesmerising vocals, violin loops, and soft beds of organic piano and acoustic guitar in this cosy setting.

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
