Scottish singer-songwriter James Yorkston plays The New Adelphi Club with a support act.
James Yorkston plays The New Adelphi Club on Sunday 13 December, with support. He's a Scottish singer-songwriter and author from the East Neuk of Fife, and he's been releasing albums on Domino Records since 2001, touring them worldwide in the years since.
His most recent record, Songs for Nina and Johanna, came out in 2025. It's a collection of duets with Nina Persson of The Cardigans and Johanna of First Aid Kit, and the collaboration earned him and Persson a slot on Later... With Jools Holland and BBC6 sessions. He's also a writer; his latest novel, Callum, Reine, Sylvie and Sparrow, is due out in October 2026, so this gig comes just a couple of months after that.
The New Adelphi Club is one of Hull's most iconic and atmospheric independent music venues, a grassroots room at the heart of the city's cultural scene and one of Britain's most influential. It's helped launch the careers of countless artists and hosted acts who went on to international acclaim, while staying dedicated to independent music and nurturing new talent. Its programme runs from indie and rock to punk, folk, electronic and experimental, and the venue is dog-friendly, with Blue Badge parking, level access and wheelchair-accessible facilities.
