Georgia Ruth

Join us on August 1st for our first 'Late' of the year with live music from the brilliant Georgia Ruth.

Georgia has been exploring responses to works from CELF in our currant exhibition Everything Changes / Everything Stays the Same in a blog Find our way back to the week of pines? - and we are so excited to have Georgia performing live in the gallery!

Georgia Ruth is a musician from Aberystwyth in west Wales. Using folk influences to create a truly unique sound, her debut album Week of Pines won the Welsh Music Prize in 2013 and was nominated for two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Georgia collaborated with Manic Street Preachers before releasing her second album, Fossil Scale. In 2020, Georgia released her third album – Mai – through Bubblewrap Records. Following this, she released an accompanying EP Mai: 2, featuring remixes from the likes of Gwenno, plus an EP of brand new music, Kingfisher. 2024 sees the release of Georgia’s fourth studio album – Cool Head.

“Her own debut is a wonder, full of longing and melody” – MOJO
“One of the British folk discoveries of the year” – The Guardian
“Georgia is finding her own distinct voice” – Q Magazine

Local writer Emma Beynon has been running writing group sessions to create poetry in response to work in the exhibition. The group will be presenting some of this work in the gallery on the evening.

There will also be a short presentation and discussion on recent developments at the gallery and our upcoming plans. This will be a chance to hear from gallery staff and associate artists.

We hope you can join us for what will be a fantastic evening here at Oriel Davies!
