Coffee shop gig for Inverness starlet Tamzene

A RISING singer-songwriter from the Black Isle, who won a stage slot at the award-winning Hebridean Celtic Festival this summer, is to perform to a small audience at an Inverness coffee house.

Having just returned from playing to audiences in Los Angeles, the award-winning multi-instrumentalist Tamzene, from Cromarty, will play an intimate gig at the Little Bird Coffee House in the Ironworks on Sunday.

The University of Leeds music student has in the last year soared from street busking to getting signed up as the first artist to the Belladrum music festival’s own record label scoring national press coverage for her debut single Lullaby.

And she will also play at the renowned HebCelt festival, which will be held from 19-22 July in Stornoway in the island of Lewis, headlined by The Waterboys, Imelda May, Dougie MacLean and Lucy Spraggan.

She said: “Intimate gigs feel very personal. “I like them because I can have a chat and just relax.”
