Live in the Library: with Anna Ling

An evening of new music at Exeter Library, headlined by the spellbinding Anna Ling, with support from Third Girl From the Left and more TBA

About Anna Ling:

Rooted in folk traditions yet strikingly fresh, Anna Ling’s music has been described as “captivatingly visceral and descriptive” (York Calling). With airplay on BBC Radio 3, performances at leading UK festivals, and regular tours across the country, Anna is known for weaving intricate folk melodies, raw storytelling, and lush, expansive harmonies.

Her live performances invite audiences into a shared space of connection, where delicate, soaring vocals meet rich instrumental textures of clarinet, bass, and percussion. Expect haunting songs, intimate moments, and melodies that stay with you.

“Amazing” — BBC Introducing“The lush voice of Anna Ling” — Jazz FM

Third Girl From the Left:

TGFTL aka Nicky describes themselves as slightly unhinged art pop meets alt folk rock!

In May 2025 their single ‘Hollowed’ was shortlisted on Fresh On The Net’s Listening Post and was selected for the Eclectic Picks playlist.

"Like Wolf Alice and Goldfrapp had a baby and Kate Bush is the nanny. Love it!” by, Sarah Gosling - BBC Introducing/Radio X.

This event will take place on the ground floor of the Library. With a pop-up bar serving soft drinks and alcohol.

This is a Pay What You Choose event with tickets at £4 / £8 / £10, and all proceeds going directly to artists and into the Library service.
