As part of Cambo Estate's Snowdrop Festival 2024, the Old Kitchen has been reinvented as a performance space for a series of live gigs.
The evening will begin with an hour of open-mic style floor spots for local performers, followed by dinner (ticket price includes soup), culminating with a set from folk singer-songwriter Samantha Whates.
Scottish singer-songwriter and Rough Trade Records recording artist Samantha Whates is a hugely respected figure on the London folk & roots scene. Her beautifully crafted, poetic songs retain a strong affinity with her Scottish roots, cultivating a sound that is thoroughly contemporary, rooted in tradition, yet uniquely her own.

“The most beautiful album...” Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2
Her debut album Dark Nights Make For Brighter Days enjoyed both critical acclaim and extensive radio play (BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2, KCRW, Resonance FM). Samantha’s new album Waiting Rooms, recorded entirely on location in various waiting rooms around the UK, is out now on Wonderfulsound.
