Jessie Reid

A concert by Shropshire-based songwriter Jessie Reid at Gullivers, a Manchester venue on Oldham Street focused on pop, rock and indie. The act's fingerstyle guitar work sits at the centre of the evening.

Jessie Reid works from Shropshire and writes songs with folk and soul roots, played on fingerstyle guitar with a percussive, tapped technique. Comparisons have been drawn with Ben Howard, RY X, Lucy Rose and Nick Mulvey. Music by the act has featured on Made in Chelsea, Love Island and BBC 6 Music, and it has passed 20 million streams on Spotify.

Jessie Reid played the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury in 2024 and has supported Steph Strings, Louden Wainwright III and Dan Owen on UK tours. The act has performed more than 50 Sofar Sounds shows across three continents. The summer of 2025 brought appearances at Green Man, Kendal Calling, Moseley Folk Festival, Between the Trees and Found Festival. The album Little Sparks, released in February 2026, received support from Spotify's Fresh Folk editorial playlist and BBC 6 Music.

Gullivers, on Oldham Street, mainly hosts concerts with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The evening places a folk-leaning songwriter within that wider live scene.
