Scott Lavene (2 Sets With Interval)

Scott Lavene is a British singer-songwriter and storyteller whose work blends kitchen-sink realism with dark humour, poetic grit, and a distinctly English sense of place.

Emerging from Essex, Lavene has carved out a niche as a chronicler of the overlooked; his songs populated by down-and-outs, late-night wanderers, and small-town dreamers.Before his music career gained traction, Lavene spent years working a range of everyday jobs, experiences that would later inform the unvarnished authenticity of his lyrics.

His songs often feel like short stories set to music, delivered in a conversational, almost spoken-word style that sits somewhere between indie folk and post-punk.His music is often compared to a lineage of British storytellers, Ian Dury, Elvis Costello, John Cooper Clarke, Jarvis Cocker and Robyn Hitchcock but, even so, Lavene’s voice remains singular.

He has a gift for balancing melancholy with wit, finding beauty and absurdity in the mundane corners of modern life.On stage, Lavene’s performances are intimate and magnetic, driven as much by his narrative delivery as by melody.

Whether backed by a full band or performing solo, he creates a sense of closeness that draws audiences into his world.In 2026, Scott will be playing the best of his four solo albums as well as some new material and stories, bringing the banter along with two beautiful vintage acoustic guitars.Presented by The Piper.This is an 18+ event
