Hattie Briggs is coming to play at UTEA for the second time on Saturday 17th November - this time as a trio. Doors will open at 7:30pm, music at 8pm.

For those of you who didn’t attend her first concert here in 2017, Hattie Briggs is a 25 year-old singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Recently named Fender Undiscovered Artist of the Year 2017, she won the prize of supporting Lucy Rose at the prestigious O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire. Her music brings together pop, folk and electronic influences, which she delivers with honesty and intent.

Since making the decision to drop out of a Russian degree in her second year at Oxford University, she has released several EPs, two critically acclaimed albums, had airplay on BBC Radios 1, 2, and 6 Music, and embarked on tours around the UK, the Netherlands and the U.S. During her travels she has supported some well known bands and artists, including chart topping duo, Ward Thomas, at the O2 London’s Brooklyn Bowl, Lauren Aquilina, Stornoway, Jamie N Commons, Seth Lakeman and Grant Nicholas (Feeder). Influenced by Goldfrapp, Foy Vance and Jeff Buckley, Hattie writes and sings straight from the heart. Her crystalline vocals, and insightful lyrics resonate across all ages, rekindling old memories and capturing imaginations. Combined with catchy melody lines and a cheeky, charismatic stage presence, it's unsurprising the youngster is seriously impressing industry figures and fans alike.

Under the Edge Arts are very sorry to announce that this years's The Edge Factor has been cancelled due to lack of entries. Only six acts entered before next weekend's auditions. After a successful run of The Edge Factor and it’s predecessor Wotton’s Got Talent, it seems that a years rest is needed to reinvigorate the pool of talent of all ages in Wotton and surrounding villages.
Co-Chair Martin Clarke commented ‘ it’s a tough call to make and we apologise to the six acts that entered. They will all be invited to perform at our Christmas at Under the Edge Arts on December 15th and we hope also to showcase them at our Spring into Summer event on 30th March 2019. Hopefully the cancellation will stir the many talented performers of all ages in the Wotton area to enter next year. ‘
