For this special one off show at The Barbican Roo will be joined by the Delphi Quartet. 

Since releasing his debut album ‘Little Giant’ to critical acclaim, the Dorset-based artist Roo Panes has gone from strength to strength as a songwriter and performer, quietly honing his craft while his music has gradually won over a constantly-evolving global fanbase, with in excess of 500 million plays on Spotify and over 40 million views on Youtube to date. A new phase of life and song writing took shape through 2021 and has led to a collection of beautiful releases, culminating in the much anticipated, stunning ‘The Summer Isles’ album, released in March 2023. The album was followed by a sold out run of shows across UK, Germany and Netherlands in June 2023 ending with a set at Glastonbury Festival. 

The Delphi quartet are led by Lottie Gabriel and have recently performed at events including Daylight Festival at Union Chapel, the Marylebone Music Festival, Kennington music series and Brighton Music Festival in collaboration with composer Emilie Levienaise-Farrouche. They previously held a residency with the London Composers’ Platform, a concert series dedicated to young, up and coming composers and their works.
