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