Scarborough singer Alastair James' second performance at Yorkshire whisky distillery in Hunmnaby

Scarborough singer songwriter Alastair James will perform at Spirit of Yorkshire’s next Distillery Session net month, following a sell-out set earlier this year.

“We’re extremely excited to welcome Alastair back to the Pot Still Coffee Shop stage. He sold out quickly when he played here in February, so we’re putting on an additional session for the people who missed out last time,” said Spirit of Yorkshire co-founder David Thompson.

“A firm favourite amongst regular visitors here at the distillery, Alastair crafts music with a sound deeply influenced by the likes of John Martyn, Bob Dylan, and Van Morrison.

"His sessions are consistently popular because no two gigs are ever the same. He’s been performing since he was 14 and always puts on a great show. It promises to be a great night.”

Alistair James plays the Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery, Hunmnaby Industrial Estate, on Saturday November 22.

Tickets cost £15 without food or £25 with a jacket potato, bolognese sauce and cheese, a vegetarian option is available.
