About this concert
Join us on 9 May for an intimate concert with Edinburgh-based pianist and songwriter Kim Edgar.
Emotion and connection are at the heart of Kim’s work as she ponders what it is to be human, creating stories told with honesty and empathy that open hearts, minds and discussions.
"Very moving, literate, allusive and expressively sung." ~ Scotland on Sunday
With five critically acclaimed solo albums, Kim has been described as "an example of everything that’s great about contemporary music" and "probably one of the best songwriters in Britain today." Her latest album, CONSEQUENCES, includes collaborations with Ron Sexsmith, Rachel Sermanni, Boo Hewerdine, and Horse McDonald.
"Strangely uplifting, despite the well-phrased, sombre lyrics... a comfort blanket for the disillusioned soul." ~ The BIG Issue
Tickets are £14 and may be purchased online via TicketTailor or in person at the Box Office on weekends when Ilkley Manor House is open.
Tickets may be available on the door but will be subject to availability. Doors open at 7:00pm and the performance begins at 7:30pm. Refreshments will be available prior to the performance and during the interval. Timings are approximate.

Kim Edgar Biography
Fuelled by a passion for social justice, folklore, and feminism, Edinburgh based folk-pop singer songwriter Kim Edgar crafts keenly observed details of people’s lives into “imaginatively and beautifully crafted songs” (Maverick) that reach out and touch listeners.
Emotion and connection are at the heart of this Edinburgh-based pianist and songwriter’s work: through observed and lived experiences, Kim ponders what it is to be human, creating stories told with honesty and empathy that open hearts, minds and discussions. Her intensity and intimacy in performance have also attracted glowing reviews:
“Heart stopping...our very own Tori Amos” (Sunday Herald)
“Intense and thought provoking” (The List)
“very moving, literate, allusive and expressively sung” * * * * * (Scotland On Sunday)
With four critically acclaimed solo albums under her belt, Kim has been described as “an example of everything that’s great about contemporary music” and “probably one of the best songwriters in Britain today.” * * * * * (Spiral Earth). Kim’s latest album, Held (2020), considers grief, addiction, and solidarity, and offers a musical hug for anyone who’s struggling at the moment.
One eighth of the The Burns Unit collective (which included Karine Polwart, King Creosote and Emma Pollock), Kim currently shares her songs while touring extensively as a member of folk band, CARA (cara-music.com). Described as “strangely uplifting, despite the well – phrased, sombre lyrics” and “a comfort blanket for the disillusioned soul” (The BIG Issue), Kim’s songs capture distilled emotions, that increasingly wide audiences across the UK, and beyond, are identifying with and responding to.
