DHP Presents:
Imogen and the Knife @ The Louisiana Bristol

Imogen and the Knife live at The Louisiana, Bristol. Thursday, 28th May 2026.

With support from Canty

Forged in Newcastle, honed in South-East London, Imogen and the Knife is carving an incandescent path through alternative pop. As is the way with the Northern songwriter coterie, Imogen has remarkable capacity to elicit a deeply emotional response from her audience, her artistry ground on the wheels of the north and community.

With vocal performances of depth, vulnerability and control, Imogen articulates an intimate yet social experience, often exploring themes drawn from her upbringing and her complex relationship with the body.

Joining the dots along a jagged line of influences from Kate Bush, Nick Cave, Fiona Apple, Rufus Wainwright and more, Imogen and the Knife crafts a unique world that glints with intrigue in each new track-from rhythmic swells and brooding orchestral arrangements to the groundedhaunting trademark of her piano and vocal performance. Poignant song writing is brought to life with moments of quiet reflection and fresh, full-bodied instrumentals.

Imogen’s recent addition of 'the Knife' to her artist name is a powerful symbol of reclamation. Embracing the surgical knife, a motif that has threaded its way through her life and writing, she transforms it into a conduit for artistic expression. It embodies the precision and clarity found in her lyrics and delivery, allowing the message to cut through, leaving an indelible mark on her listeners.

Her commitment to the craft extends to her advocation for the rights and recognition of fellow artists, particularly musicians living with disabilities. 

With new music on the horizon and a live band in tow, Imogen and the Knife invites you to step into this next chapter–one where the music serves as both armour and revelation, carving outcompelling stories that linger long after the last note has faded.

Show starts at 7:30pm.
