Welcome back to a gigging Guernsey! 🎶🥳 Saturday the 3rd sees Upload Festival take to St James on the big stage!! I am very excited to present you all with this event, and of course my own set later in the evening. 🌿 This event is ✨free✨ with 12 hours of live music from some of my favourite musicians! Plenty of solo artists like myself playing folk, acousticy rock and pop, and some bands at the end of the night to get you moving 🕺🏼 You can catch my set from 7:30pm, but do make sure you get down early and enjoy the vibes ❤️ For my non Guernsey friends: The wonderful Guernsey Gigs will be livestreaming the entire show on their Facebook page, and GNET Radio will be running a feed too. All links will be shared on the Upload Festival CI page on the day, so please tune in even if you're not on our little island! x

Going live this Saturday! Just little old me and my acoustic, some originals and some covers. I will be doing a few more streams this lockdown, some with Upload and some just for me, so keep your eyes peeled! 🎶 I will also be shamelessly plugging my EPs etc because ~shocker~ I'm skint again 😁X How to access the stream: I'm streaming using Twitch this time because I'm getting all fancy, but I promise, it's simple. Just keep an eye out on my Facebook page and the Video tab of my website for direct access to the stream. You don't need an account with Twitch to watch the stream, but you will need to sign up if you want to interact with me on the stream. It's free to do this, just head to twitch.tv and click sign up! 😊

Join me in celebrating the release of my upcoming mini-album "Chirrup" whilst you're serenaded by some of my favourite solo artists through the night! For more info on "Chirrup" and the songs that feature on it, visit https://kiyaashton.com/shop.

I really wanted to do something a bit different with the venue, and the Town Church, as well as it being stunning, has the perfect mix of unusual, historical and accessible. We'll be making use of the pews as well as tables and some laid back bean bag action!

There will be a CASH ONLY bar serving soft drinks, teas and coffees, as well as Rocquette cider for donations. I'm also pleased to say this is an all ages event! We will be requesting ID on the door/at the bar if it's suspected that you're under 18. The church has a small play area to the side which anyone with children are welcome to use! But please keep an eye on them at all times.

So excited to play Sark Folk Festival this year! You'll find me on the Les Bourons Stage on Friday night, 6:30-7:15pm.

This young and experienced musician is sure to have you captivated. With her personal brand of intoxicating folk and siren-like vocal ability, she “belies her age” with confidence and her ability to make you feel her music.

Having released her debut EP ‘Sweet Decadence’ last December, and being a frequent performer in some of the local music scene’s best venues, Kiya Ashton is a seasoned performer with confidence, grace and one hell of a sound for a girl with a guitar.

This June I'm bringing my repertoire of stripped back rock covers and atmospheric folk originals to the Peace Tent of Chaos 15. 2-2:30pm, sit back, listen and feel.

With great music all weekend, bike shows, competitions, silly games and great food and drink, what's not to love? Family friendly, plenty of parking onsite, camping available to over 18s.
