Get A Round In
Get A Round In brings together the best singer-songwriters for a Nashville style writers’ round.
This regular event at The Met features three artists sharing the stage to showcase their songwriting talent and tell the stories behind their music. Expect the very best of Greater Manchester’s acoustic talent.
November’s event features…
Grace Elizabeth Harvey
Grace Elizabeth Harvey is a competition-winning, PRS funded songwriter and cellist from Liverpool. Her debut EP, Other Faith, released in May 2025, established her unique brand of philosophical folk characterised by intricate guitar, sweet, conversational vocals and winding, unconventional lyricism. Wintering after two UK wide tours in Spring and Autumn of 2025, including a break into London’s grassroots folk scene, Grace is quickly proving herself as one of the UK’s finest emerging songsmiths and a ‘new name to watch’ (FATEA), with a penchant for exceptionally captivating and intimate live performances. Receiving praise from national press (BBC Introducing, Still Listening, Narc, Fatea, Folking) and grass roots fans alike ‘an artist to be cherished indeed’ (Vinyl Fantasy Reviews), Grace’s practice is led by integrity, poetic curiosity and a desire to sustain her creative exploration through live connection.
Gideon Conn
The search for a new sound continues into a third decade for Manchester artist and musician Gideon Conn. A part time job in a hardware store provides routine, rhythm and a window to the world, invigorating his songwriting process.
With a fifth album around the corner, follow Gideon on his journey through jazz soul and hiphop.
Ben P Williams
The evening will be presented by Manchester based singer-songwriter Ben P Williams, whose songs have seen support from BBC Radio 6, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Introducing. Moulding the classic song-writing sound of Paul Simon with the laid-back nature of Jack Johnson, Ben draws inspiration from the greats while injecting his own wit and imagination into lyrics and melodies which can’t help but bring a smile to your face.
