Plumhall (Michelle Plum and Nick B Hall) are an acclaimed UK songwriting duo known for their beautiful vocal harmonies and powerful blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation. Their original songs have earned them widespread acclaim.
In 2024, the duo completed a successful 30-date tour as special guests of Fairport Convention on their Winter Tour, with Fairport joining Plumhall on stage each night to perform “One Star Awake,” the title track of Plumhall's latest album, which also features Fairport's Ric Sanders. They were thrilled to be invited to perform at Costa Festival in Ibiza in May. They then reunited with Fairport at the Cropredy Convention in August, where they performed as part of an extended Fairport lineup including Ralph McTell. They will be performing a full band set at Cropredy in August 2025.
Plumhall have had the honour of performing with the legendary Al Stewart at the London Palladium, Cadogan Hall and Manchester RNCM. They have also written an original song for and appeared in the 2020 feature film The Runaways. The song "Closing Down" has since become a beloved part of their repertoire.
From the alt-country feel of their debut album to the more experimental sound of the follow-up, Plumhall have shown their ability to blend strong songwriting with diverse musical influences. Their much-anticipated third album, One Star Awake, was released in June 2024 to critical acclaim.
Plumhall built a loyal global following through their livestream performances between 2020 and 2022, which led to a fan-made video for their song "A Darkness That Won't Leave The House", later championed by Janice Long on BBC radio.
Michelle Plum’s musical background includes a four-year stint with Chumbawamba, time as a session musician with The Chris Norman Band, and co-founding the folk band Waking The Witch. Nick Hall has toured with Ian Prowse & Amsterdam, Magna Carta, and The Hall Brothers.
