Need the perfect way to finish an excellent weekend? Look no further than Scottish singer-songwriter, Siobhan Wilson’s show at The Lexington with her beautiful, almost hymn-like voice.
There’s a message of female empowerment of all forms in Wilson’s work, whether the gentle folk of ‘April’ or the fiercer, yet completely dreamy sound of ‘Marry Me’ at the core of each track she’s calling to your strength. Perfect then for a Sunday evening show at The Lexington, we caught up with this stunning talent ahead of her show on the 19th May. Grab yourself a ticket now.

Three words to describe my music…
raw, dreamy, emotional
Last photo on your phone…
A Peroni Tap made out of a saxophone – a saxophone pouring beer tap. My Flatmate took it on holiday in Portugal! Finally somebody has put the sax to good use 😉
Favourite instagram account…
JVN, Jonathan from Queer Eye. He posts figure skating, kittens and body positive stuff it’s a nice place to go.
The best venue I’ve played…
The treehouse bookshop in Kenilworth. It’s a real gem. Fairy-lit and independent book shop.
Earliest song you remember…
‘J’ai du Bon Tabac’ – it was one of the first tunes I learned on piano when I was 7. It’s a children’s song it means “I’ve got good tobacco”.
The worst job I’ve ever had…
Cleaning toilets at the end of the night after a club night in a bar I worked at… it was very colourful.
Favourite food on tour…
Veg scotch egg from Tebay.
My Favourite word…
Silence
Things that cheer me up…
Children
If I could play a gig anywhere it would be…
London at the Lexington, oh yeah! Did I mention that’s happening on May 19th?
If I could see anyone play live it would be…
Perfume Genius! I have not had the pleasure yet but he’s top of my list.
