After a stunning, sellout first event at Preston Park Museum, The Watermill Sessions, hosted by Elaine Palmer return with a new line-up comprising more of the very best of the region’s acoustic artists. In keeping with the ethos of the events the venue is just as distinctive second time around. The Manor House in Sedgefield will set the scene for another evening of sublime, emotive music spanning Folk, Americana and Roots. Capacity is very limited and tickets are already selling.
A growing archive of intimate performances filmed at the Watermill, Elaine’s childhood home, can be found at https://www.youtube.com/
Elaine hosts and curates again, playing songs from her back-catalogue and her sweetly-countrified new album “Show Me the Way” which has been picking up airplay across the globe.
She’s joined by:
