We’re delighted to welcome James Yorkston and Nina Persson back – this time, to Hallé St Peter’s!
Acclaimed Scottish singer-songwriter James Yorkston has announced his brand new album Songs for Nina and Johanna to be released via Domino on 22 August 2025. The album is his sixteenth on Domino and his third to be recorded in Stockholm in conjunction with members of The Second Hand Orchestra. Nina Persson (The Cardigans), who teamed up with James on his previous critically-acclaimed album The Great White Sea Eagle, this time shares singing duties with Johanna Söderberg (First Aid Kit), the two of them singing separately with James on five and four tracks respectively.
For this concert, James joins forces with Nina once more to perform songs from both albums.
‘Some of the most beautiful and moving music Yorkston’s made, which is high praise indeed’ – Allmusic
‘A work of real refinement, ‘The Great White Sea Eagle’ is peppered with jewels’ – Clash Music
‘It’s a beautiful, hand made collection of natural and unforced songs to be treasured’ – Under The Radar
This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
