An Evening With Vikki Clayton

On Saturday, 14 November 2026, St Mary's Church in Brighton is hosting a concert titled An Evening With Vikki Clayton. For those who follow the UK folk scene, Vikki is a familiar name with a career that spans several decades and includes a solid academic foundation from the Trinity College of Music. Her history is closely tied to some of the most influential names in British folk-rock; she was a member of Ragged Heroes and has collaborated extensively with members of Fairport Convention and Fotheringhay. This performance in Brighton is set to be a retrospective of that journey, while also highlighting her more recent creative output.

The evening isn't just about the headliner, as local singer-songwriter Gabriella Frances will be joining the bill. Her music, which often explores spirituality and the natural world, provides a complementary contrast to Vikki’s more traditional folk roots. A significant part of the set will likely be dedicated to Vikki’s latest album, Messenger, which has been received as a standout piece in her discography. Given the setting of the church at 61 St James' Street, the acoustics are well-suited for the intricate guitar work and vocal clarity that both artists are known for. It’s the kind of venue where the architecture does a lot of the work in creating a specific mood for acoustic sets.

If you're planning to head down, the doors open at 19:00, with the music scheduled to begin at 19:30. It’s a ticketed event, and you can find them on sites like WeGotTickets. The pricing is set at £20.00 for a general ticket and £15.00 for concessions, with those prices already accounting for the management fees. The location in the heart of Brighton (BN2 1PR) makes it easy to get to, and the timing allows for a full evening of music without it running too late. It’s a straightforward opportunity to see a seasoned folk artist in a space that matches the tone of the genre.
