⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A bold fusion of the personal and the political…”Clash
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“a masterpiece of psychedelic pop discovery, bewitchingly melodic and a fierce, deep vocal range” – The Skinny
“a compelling frontwoman for our troubled times, with a powerful voice and lyrical prowess” – The Independent

Don’t miss this intimate unplugged show, stripped back to poetry and music.

Passionate, principled, and refreshingly plain-spoken, Louisa Roach will not be cowed into silence. As She Drew The Gun, the Wirral-based singer-songwriter has spent the last seven years cementing her reputation as a vital voice in the alternative scene, using punk-infused psych-pop as a vehicle for exposing injustice and for advocating for a fairer and more tolerant society.

Roach’s fuzzy psych-pop draws you into the spirit of rebellion, songs that rally against injustice and food banks and celebrate outsiderdom.
