indie-folk @ temperance | Amber Liadan & band

About this event

Amber is something else. She and her top-notch band have been playing low-key gigs in the area, but now it's time to take wing.... Amber Liadan is a Warwickshire-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music is a spellbinding reflection of a truly global journey. Born into a deeply creative household as the daughter of Heather Mac and Tim Parr (from the iconic 80s band Ella Mental), her artistic heritage runs deep. Her career took root internationally when she was awarded the prestigious Dharmasiswa Scholarship to study traditional Gamelan music in Indonesia, followed by completing her certified Speech and Drama teacher training through Trinity College London. Returning to the live circuit, Amber established her evocative sound by touring South Africa—supporting music icons like Steve Newman and Robin Auld—before spending years honing her stagecraft through regular residencies in London and Dublin. Following the release of her acclaimed debut album, Warrior, her haunting single In Your Arms was showcased on BBC Introducing. Since relocating to the Midlands, her momentum has been unstoppable. She captured hearts as the winner of the Shipston Proms Introducing Competition, made a striking debut for Sofar Sounds Birmingham, and hit major festival slots including PaxFest and the Warwick Folk Festival. Now backed by a stellar 4-piece band featuring her husband and lead guitarist Phil Moffett, bassist Carol Whitworth, and drummer Dave Male, Amber recently headlined a packed set at Coventry's Albany Theatre. Her latest single, "Saturday Night", marks her most exciting chapter yet, beautifully merging alternative rock with upbeat pop while preserving the soaring, passionate vocals that have transfixed audiences worldwide.
