A unique intimate and unplugged gig from Brick.

Brick are Bridie Jackson and Nick Pierce. Bridie is a songwriter (best known from the folk quartet Bridie Jackson and The Arbour) and Nick is a viola player. The duo started making music together during the first Lockdown of 2020, and they now write and produce ‘dreamy acoustic music’ with the occasional synth from their home in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

​

Brick self-produce and release their music to critical acclaim; since their first release in late 2023, they have received glowing reviews in NARC magazine, The Crack, received play on BBC Introducing Radio Newcastle, and have spellbound audiences at live shows across the North East.

Brick also compose soundtracks for dance and theatre productions and are currently working with choreographer Jennifer Essex and TeesDance Ltd. In 2023, Brick were commissioned by The Customs House Theatre to create the soundtrack for a dance production of Antoine De Saint Exupery’s beloved children’s book, The Little Prince, which fused song, acoustic, electronic, ambient and folk influences.
 

“A stark haunting journey through a poetic blizzard, Jackson’s vocals are like cut glass, clear and fragile yet imbued with a quiet defiance” – The Devil Has The Best Tuna

“Sparse and beautiful songs of kindness and hope” – Narc Magazine

“…a strange kind of magic…conjured up from piano and guitar and Jackson’s hauntingly beautiful voice” – The Crack

 With Support From Laurie Shepherd

A busy Mum of two young kids Laurie manages to fit in short bursts of creativity; writing songs around school runs, washing up and digging the garden. You can expect big themes of life, death, ancestors and the extremities motherhood delivered with heart, honesty and at times humour. Laurie’s beautifully crafted songs lay nestled amongst her eclectic influences. She tugs at folk moves into Jazz sprinkling in some other stylistic elements along the way.
