Villagerrr

Villagerrr plays The Hope and Ruin on Monday 2 November, with the set starting at 7:30 pm. It's a solo night for the project, which is the work of Ohio songwriter Mark Scott. If you've come across the name before, that's the whole of it: Scott writing and performing under the Villagerrr moniker.

Coming from Ohio, Scott's work sits in that songwriter tradition where the focus is on the song itself rather than a big band sound. The set is billed as live music from Villagerrr, so it's Scott on stage, his songs taking centre stage. It's the kind of night that works well in a room like The Hope and Ruin, where you can actually hear the lyrics and the arrangements without having to shout over a crowd.

For those who haven't followed him, Villagerrr is how Mark Scott puts his songwriting out into the world. It's a project built around his own writing, and this is one of those dates where you get to hear it live rather than through a recording. The set is built around his songs, and the night is billed as live music from the project, so the focus stays on the songwriting throughout.

The gig is at The Hope and Ruin, 11 Queen's Road, Brighton BN1 3WA, on Monday 2 November. It starts at 7:30 pm, and tickets are from £15.
