Daresay

If you are looking for plans on Friday, 12 June 2026, Folklore Sessions is hosting a performance by Daresay at The Folklore Rooms. The venue, located at 12 North Street, Brighton, BN1 3GJ, will be open for the event from 20:00 until 23:00. It is an 18+ event, so keep that in mind if you are planning to head down. The Folklore Rooms has become a regular spot for these kinds of intimate sessions, and this particular evening is focused on the indie songwriting project Daresay.

The project is led by vocalist George and his bandmate Aoibhin. Their music explores specific themes, including melancholy, identity, and fragility. If you listen to bands like Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, or The Dismemberment Plan, you might find their sound familiar. Their lyrical style is often described as direct, with some listeners drawing comparisons to the work of Frightened Rabbit. The performance is centred around the presentation of their self-titled debut EP, which includes the single 'featherweight'. It is a straightforward setup, focusing on the songs themselves rather than a large-scale production.

Tickets for the evening are priced at £11.50. While this is the standard price, it is always worth checking the official channels before you head out, as prices can sometimes fluctuate. Since the event runs from 20:00 to 23:00, it fits well into a Friday night schedule if you are already planning to be in the centre of Brighton. The Folklore Rooms is a familiar space for those of us who frequent the local music scene, and it provides a setting where the focus remains entirely on the performance. This session offers a chance to hear the new material live in an intimate environment, which is often the best way to experience songwriting that deals with such personal themes. Whether you are already a fan of their work or just looking for something different to do in the city, the evening offers a clear look at their current material and the direction they are taking with this debut release.
