The Chosen Lonely
Many Wonders Tour
Highland singer-songwriter Steven Barclay launched ‘The Chosen Lonely’ in late 2017 with a handful of local shows in Inverness. His debut EP eventually arrived in 2020 to widespread acclaim, including from BBC Radio Nan Gàidheal whose New Music show Rapal coined it their Record of the Week in February of 2020. This followed soon after busy shows in King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow & Ironworks, Inverness.
During the lulls that live music experienced during the remainder of the year (and parts of the next two) The Chosen Lonely released a second EP, and further praise ensued, and he was also named ‘Artist of the Week’ in The Scotsman.
Embarking on his largest tour so far, Steven will visit venues across mainland UK performing acoustic arrangements both from his current catalogue and from future releases, set to arrive during 2023.
The Chosen Lonely will be joined by Daniel Gunn and local act LILURA. After honing her craft with solo shows across the UK, Jemma Tweedie launched LILURA in 2017, promptly jetting off to LA to write new material for the synth-pop project. Whilst over there, she recorded a video for LILURA’s debut single in the iconic setting of Joshua Tree. Jemma will be joined by another Nairn local in Kenna Ross - Piano. These two impressive musicians will open the night with an exciting set of LILURA material
