Cumbrian cowboy Rob Heron and Yorkshire rover Conrad Bird come to The Met as part of their UK tour.
Rob Heron has spent fifteen years on the road with The Tea Pad Orchestra, blending country, gypsy swing, rhythm & blues and rockabilly into his unmistakable sound. Known for his sharp songwriting and dry northern humour, he’s toured with Americana heavyweights including Pokey LaFarge, The Dead South and Sierra Ferrell. This year, Rob returns with a new solo record, leaning into a more intimate, lonesome country sound, from cowboy yodels to stripped-back storytelling.
Conrad Bird, formerly of festival favourites Holy Moly & The Crackers, brings his own solo vision: poetic folk songs, Dylan-inspired ballads, and a commanding, gravel-tinged voice that holds the room.
Don’t miss this stripped-back, roots-driven double bill.

What do we mean by standard, subsidised, and supporters prices?
The standard price is what we need most people to pay.
The subsidised price is for people currently unable to pay the standard price.
The supporters price is for people who can afford to pay a little extra – and the extra you pay goes directly towards the subsidised ticket option.
Unlike traditional concessionary prices, we won’t be asking for proof of eligibility when you buy your ticket – just choose the option that works best for you.
