Ruth Trimble

Ruth Trimble returns to The Stables on Friday 13 November, her first solo UK tour in eight years. She's playing the new album, Peace Of Mind, which is the focus of the night.

It's been a while since she last toured her own material across the UK, though she hasn't been quiet in the years since. She's spent much of that time supporting other artists on the road, and she did cross paths with The Stables more recently, playing here in 2025 alongside Beth Nielsen Chapman and Judie Tzuke. This is a different kind of appearance, though — she's the main feature this time, with the set built around the new record.

Bob Harris of BBC Radio 2 called Peace Of Mind 'a gem' and said it 'beautifully reflects the lovely person Ruth is — funny, deep and caring'. That's a fair bit of praise from one of the most respected voices in the business, and it gives you a sense of the kind of record this is: something that sits closer to the person behind the songs than to a polished studio product.

If you're planning to go, the details are straightforward. It's Friday 13 November at The Stables on Stockwell Lane in Wavendon, with the show starting at 8:45pm. Tickets are £16.50, which includes the booking fee.
