I’m always on the lookout for support work or split-bill gigs, and I think my quality has been shown by both supporting Tom Robinson, Martin Stephenson, Toby Hay, Iona Lane and Johnny Campbell. So, if you’re a headliner or agent looking for someone, I’d be more than happy to travel for the gig if you’d like to book me for support or solo gigs. You can contact me at michelle @ michellelaverick.com. For now, I’m handling my bookings, but as time goes on, I hope to engage the services of an agent.

Here’s my current diary. Sometimes, I’m doing support slots, and other times, I’m the “headline” act (a presumptuous term for being the last person who plays).

I’ve played at several great venues – and I’m on a mission to play all the top places in the UK that are known for quality acoustic and folk music at some point in my life – the Kitchen Garden (Birmingham), Green Note (Camden), Temperance Bar (Leamington), The Cabbage Patch (Twickenham) are on my bucket list – and thus far I’ve played at – as well as other venues too
