ABOUT
Our monthly late night series brings songwriters together to perform in the round, hosted by Matthew Herd. This month we welcome Gabi Garbutt, in a rare and intimate solo outing.
Gabi Garbutt
Queer alternative pop with a punk spirit.
Gabi self-released their debut album ‘The Discredited Language of Angels’ in 2019, leading to significant BBC6 Music support, including a live session on Cerys Matthews’ show, who described Gabi's songs as 'lyrically at a level you rarely hear... consistently brilliant.' Gabi and their band were invited to join Edwyn Collins on his U.K tour, The Libertines on a handful of their European tour dates, and played Frank Turner's Lost Evenings Festival at the Roundhouse.
Post lock-down, Gabi and their band were invited to join The Boomtown Rats at the Palladium and supported Big Country on tour. In 2022, Gabi signed to Trapped Animal Records for the release of their second album Cockerel, which saw Gabi appear as a panellist on Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable and perform acoustic on John Kennedy’s Radio X-Posure.
In April 2023, Gabi released ‘The Creation of Birds’ E.P on Du Blonde's label Daemon T.V, with BBC6’s Chis Hawkins calling it ‘something new to fall in love with.’ The lead single ‘Panic,’ a collaboration with Du Blonde, was added to Radio X’s evening playlist and was chosen by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, Suicide Squad) as one of his top 25 of 2023.
In 2024, Gabi supported Grace Petrie on ten dates of her U.K tour, released an E.P of stripped back acoustic versions of a selection of songs, followed by a run of dates including the Canopy Stage at Greenbelt Festival. Gabi is currently recording their next album.
