Violinist Gaelynn Lea brings Broadway Macbeth soundtrack to Nottingham

Violinist and songwriter Gaelynn Lea will be coming to Nottingham for the first time as part of a UK tour in support of her latest album, Music from Macbeth. 

Play Icon

This concept album is based on the original music she composed for the 2022 Broadway production of Macbeth, which starred Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga.

She will be performing at By Our Hands We Make Our Way on May 15th 2025 with support from Kelli Blanchett. Doors are at 7:30pm and tickets cost £14.30 (general admission), £9.90 (concessions and low income), and £22:00 (high income) in advance. The show is hosted by Folkroom.

Since winning NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest in 2016, Gaelynn Lea has captivated audiences around the world with her haunting original songs and traditional fiddle tunes. Over the years, she has collaborated with artists such as  Michael Stipe,  The Decemberists,  Wilco,  LOW, and the industrial rock supergroup  Pigface.

Thanks to a recent Whippoorwill Arts Fellowship, her “Scottish Play” soundtrack is finally being released and she'll be performing excerpts of it during her UK Tour.

One of Gaelynn Lea’s biggest passions is promoting Disability Culture. She co-founded  RAMPD [Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities] in 2022 and has since connected with d/Deaf and disabled artists globally, including  Ruth Lyon and  James Holt in the UK.
