Drift Sessions: Frances Mistry

Drift Sessions is an evening of indie-folk and (mostly) acoustic music headlined by Brighton-based Frances Mistry and her band. The evening consists of 5 short acoustic sets and one full band performance at Roseberry Road Studios, Bath, all in aid of Cancer Research UK. All profits from ticket sales will be going towards the charity.  The event is proudly presented by two local south-west promoters Gopherit and Monkey Boots Events.  About the Artists Frances Mistry Soft but sure, frances mistry is quietly carving a space for herself in the indie-folk world.   With her third EP released in May 2025, frances has stepped into an exciting year filled with new music, live shows, and deeper connections with her audience - sharing personal stories about her life and experiences, including her journey with autism. Inspired by the gentle honesty of artists like Clairo, Faye Webster and Beabadoobee, her songs feel personal yet familiar - little moments wrapped in melody.  The Brighton-based newcomer has been lauded by the likes of BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders as a "proper, authentic artist", chosen as Spotify's Fresh Finds Artist of the Month of May, and played the BBC Introducing stage at The Great Escape 2025. With much more to come, she's a name to keep an ear out for, after already opening for the likes of Paris Paloma and Alfie Templeman.  Sam Finch Susie Mills Susie Mills is an independent artist based in Bath, UK, blending folk, pop, and soul with her soft vocals and introspective lyrics.
