Nick Mulvey

On 13 May 2026, Nick Mulvey brings his finely crafted folk to Electric Bristol. A guitarist, singer and songwriter shaped between Spain, Cuba and London, he blends intricate nylon-string patterns, gentle polyrhythms and a warm, understated voice. Co-founder of Portico Quartet and later acknowledged by the Mercury Prize in his solo career, he moves between folk, world influences and stripped acoustic soundscapes without losing a clear melodic line.

Live, Mulvey keeps things close and precise: open tunings, percussive fingerstyle, subtle loops and hand percussion giving the songs a steady, human pulse. The set draws across his catalog, with reworked pieces alongside newer material, focused on groove, space and clean storytelling. Arrangements breathe, choruses land softly, and the rhythmic detail carries the room rather than volume or effects.
