All the way from the land down under, Australian Folk singer Ernest Aines is coming to Wiltshire….

On his fourth tour of the UK throughout May and June, Ernest’s tour coincides with the release of his new single, “Just Once”, coming out on 23rd May. I had the opportunity to give it a listen before the big release, and it is nothing short of fantastic.

The song opens with some plucked guitar strings and then leads into flawless vocals and harmonies. As a whole, it tells the story of an unseen love and all the emotions that go along with it. The minimalist instruments give it a down to earth, human feel and all in all it’s a truly enjoyable listen. I truly would recommend it!

Aines is becoming quite a big name in the Folk world, particularly in his home turf of Melbourne where he has been twice nominated for Australian Artist of The Year, at the Folk Alliance Awards.

He’s not as big over here in England, so if you do want to check out some of his stuff, I would strongly recommend his 2023 album “Spiral Bound” as a great place to start – or his new single when it comes out would also be a good starting point.

His tour is taking him all over the place – from Cardiff concert hall, to live at the BBC studio, but luckily if you do want to see him there’s no need to travel too far, Ernest is playing at The Deanery Theatre in Swindon on the 24th of May.

With only a guitar and a stomp box he’s known as a master of the stage. As an amateur musician myself, I can understand how difficult it is to fill a stage with just yourself and an instrument, but he has it down to a tee.  

I really do advise getting tickets while you can, or at the very least giving his new song a listen, I’ve got a feeling we’re going to start to hear a lot more about Aines, and wouldn’t it be cool when he’s worldwide famous to be able to say you heard him first?

Aines will be playing at the Deanery Theatre in Swindon on the 24th May, tickets are available here and “Just Once”, out on the 23rd can be pre-saved here.
