About The Events

Introducing John Dhali ’An undeniable impression of big star potential’ The Stumble Upon

‘John Dhali is a burst of energy and positivity…even though I might be late to the party, I’m glad I arrived.’ Music For The Misfits

‘Wistful folk-pop, with shades of Father John Misty’ Mystic Sons

Blessed with a soaring vocal, John Dhali is a singer-songwriter characterised by Light after years of darkness. He pours his experiences overcoming mental health issues into a musical medicine for the soul.

Having received tastemaker support from the likes of Huw Stephens and BBC Introducing for his earlier music pre-pandemic, John crowd-funded his debut album, In Time LP, and with co-production from Sam Bloor. It’s an album filled with positivity and infectious, hook-laden melodies that build to unstoppable choruses and anthemic heights.

With shades of George Ezra, The Lumineers and Jeff Buckley, the album shifts from indie-pop to indie-rock and folkier numbers.

Singles have received Spotify UK New Music Friday placements, while the likes of Clash, Earmilk, Music Crowns, VENTS and Noctis, among others, have praised him.

This year saw John feature on ‘Brassic Unsigned’ on Sky On Demand perform at the likes of Secret Garden Party and Cambridge Folk Festival and in the Autumn he picked up the DrakeYolanda award for emerging artists. One to watch.  

‘What starts as a gentle and euphonic offering of indie art-pop bliss transcends into a rock-licked all-consuming aural entity as you’re left to face the untamed passion in the lyrics and vocals.’ AnR Factory

Supporting John will be Tom George:

“Tom George is a singer-songwriter from Liverpool UK whose music includes elements of folk, rock, punk, psychedelia and indie-pop.

He performs as a solo artist, and plays all the instruments on most of his recordings himself.
