“Unbridled, raucous, beautiful. Get yourselves along to a show!” – At The Barrier
After two thrilling UK tours in 2024, including joyous shows at Wickham Festival, Truck Festival and Maverick Festival, Annie will be bringing her sublime alt-country Americana back to the UK in October 2025 with her blistering four-piece band. BBC’s Bob Harris frequently champions Annie’s music on his BBC Radio 2 Country show, on which Annie has made several guest appearances. Bob, who described Keating’s songs as “Wonderful, heartfelt and real” has booked Annie for two of his prestigious ‘Under the Apple Tress Sessions’ and even held a private house concert while she was here last year!
With the release of her breakthrough album, “Belmont” in 2008, Keating has been growing in stature and reputation, having released 11 critically acclaimed studio albums.
A staple of the contemporary Americana scene, Annie Keating writes and sings like a woman who knows deep down that heartache is the price of hope, and she can make us believe, in a way that only the best artists can, that all of it is worth the cost.
Performing as The Annie Keating Band, the line-up will feature, twice nominated AMAUK Instrumentalist of the Year, rising star Joe Coombs on electric/acoustic/slide guitars (Yola, Jaime Wyatt, Kaura Evans, Robert Vincent, Sam Morrow and Lynne Hanson), Scott Warman on double/electric bass (Demi Marriner, Alice Wallace), plus Jamie Dawson on drums (The Dreaming Spires, Steady Habits, Speedbuggy USA).
“Keating is building the reputation her talent deserves” – The Telegraph
“A MUST SEE” – Bob Harris, BBC Radio
“Tremendous… Razor sharp rockabilly, sweet country and swampy blues, the band at full tilt.” – Americana UK
Book a table for pre-concert dining
Acapela Studio provides pre-concert dining between 6.00pm and 7.30pm from our pizza oven. To view the current menu visit here.
Please purchase your concert tickets first before booking a table. We will not accept any table bookings that do not have a corresponding ticket purchase.
Then return to the event page to book your table, by selecting the date of your event, number of diners and time you require table. The times shown are the only vacancies left. Please complete your email and phone number as this is required to ensure your table is allocated. You will receive confirmation of your booking by email and text.
If on the date you have chosen no tables are available - no times will be shown and the booking system will revert you back to todays date - PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK THE CORRECT DATE!
PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE RELIES ON THE INCOME FROM DINING TO ENSURE WE CAN BOOK ALL THE GREAT ACTS PERFORMING.
Income from the provision of pizzas is very important to the venue and if you have booked a table it is a requirement that all people sat at tables order food - a salad alternative is available to pizzas. Please do ensure that all individuals will be ordering on your table - if this is not the case please cancel your table so others who are looking to dine can do so. Our apologies to raise this but recently we have had many tables (some very large) where less than 50% of those sat at tables have ordered food. Financially this is a real problem to the sustainability of the venue.
- All seating at tables must purchase a pizza - so please do not book a table if everyone is not eating.
- Please ensure that you arrive 10 minutes before the time slot allocated to order your pizzas prior to your booking time.
- Tables not seated within 15 minutes of the allocated time may be lost and allocated to other audience members wishing to order pizzas.
- If you wish to book a table for 6 or more please email info@acapela.co.uk
Please note that all of our pizzas are made fresh to order and cooked in an authentic wood-fired oven. It may take up to 45 minutes to be served during busy periods.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO BOOK A TABLE YOU CAN STILL ORDER PIZZAS ON THE NIGHT (USUALLY ON BUSY NIGHTS NO LATER THAN 7.15PM) AND WE WILL SERVE THEM TO YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE SAT IN THE VENUE - IN A PIZZA BOX.
