An Evening with Essy Sparrow

Essy Sparrow is a Falmouth based multi-disciplinary artist and songwriter creating gossip-filled, nostalgic indie folk from her coastal studio.

Her 2024 debut EP “Still Upset About It Actually” produced by Jemima Coulter (Hailaker) sparked TikTok virality, with her track “Artists Dreamers” reaching over 2m views.

Gaining her the fond title of “Scrappy Little Songwriter”. In 2025 she played Boardmasters with BBC Introducing, supported Tors and Semler, joined Lily Lyons in opening for The Staves and sold out her 200-cap London headline at St Mary with All Souls. 

This year sees a near sold-out UK tour, a slot at Great Escape, and the rollout of her sophomore EP “Gossip from a Coastal Town” rooted in her whimsical, coastal life in Cornwall.

Produced by CJ Pandit, the new project is a gossip-filled indie folk time capsule, weaving in sounds from a live local sea shanty band, a pirate ghost tour guide playing the accordion and live ocean sounds from Cornwall into her whimsical, fun and slightly bittersweet storytelling.

She’ll be joining us at the Poly for a hometown show, accompanied by local artist Kitty Crocker.
