James Ellis Ford is scheduled to perform at Horse Hospital Colonnade in London on September 17, 2026. Ford is a British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his distinctively raw and emotionally direct songwriting. His musical style blends elements of indie rock, folk, and alternative music, often characterized by sparse arrangements, intimate vocals, and lyrical themes exploring vulnerability and personal experience. He initially gained recognition as the frontman of the band The Last Shadow Puppets alongside Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys, contributing vocals and songwriting. He has since released several critically acclaimed solo albums including *I’m Not Where It Hurts* (2013) and *Silent Codes* (2018).

Horse Hospital Colonnade is a small, independent venue located in Bloomsbury, London. Originally a veterinary hospital – hence the name – the building has operated as a performance space since the early 1990s. It’s known for its intimate atmosphere and support of experimental and underground music scenes. The venue frequently hosts performances spanning genres including post-punk, noise rock, avant-garde electronic music, and independent singer-songwriters.
