Get A Round In brings together the best singer-songwriters for a Nashville style writers’ round.

This regular event at The Met features three artists sharing the stage to showcase their songwriting talent and tell the stories behind their music.

July’s event features…

Rachael Jean Harris

Rachael Jean Harris is a Liverpudlian songwriter living in New Brighton. Her music has been described by BBC6 Music Introducing as “wildly original”. She brings stories that take the listener from a prison cell in Nevada, to a Cormorant’s nest on the shores of the Mersey. Rachael’s new album Tethered to Nothing is due for release in 2026.

Rob Jones

Rob Jones & The Restless Dream make “Midnight Americana” – widescreen, cinematic songs that evoke the long roads and late nights of Northern England. Rob’s songwriting blends the sounds of Springsteen, Tom Petty and Jason Isbell with the weary romance of British towns after dark. Their debut album Stars was released last year and quickly found favour across the BBC and Absolute Radio, where the band were named Spotlight Artists of the Week. A former high-school English teacher, Rob left a steady life behind to chase an impossible dream and is looking forward to sharing his songs at The Met.

Ben P Williams

The evening will be presented by Manchester based singer-songwriter Ben P Williams, whose songs have seen support from BBC Radio 6, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Introducing. Moulding the classic song-writing sound of Paul Simon with the laid-back nature of Jack Johnson, Ben draws inspiration from the greats while injecting his own wit and imagination into lyrics and melodies which can’t help but bring a smile to your face.
