Hannah Brine in Ambleside

About the show

Hannah Brine is delighted to be returning to Zeffirellis, following her joyful debut last year. Originally from Leicester, where she grew up singing in local choirs and bands, Hannah released her debut album Blue Sky Now in 2025. Tracks from the album received airplay on Robert Elms’ show on BBC Radio London, and across the Midlands via the BBC Introducing scheme, as well as internationally.

Hannah toured the album extensively throughout 2025, performing at over twenty venues across the UK. Highlights included Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, Buxton Opera House (where she supported Rumer), and two of London’s most renowned jazz venues, The Pheasantry and the 606 Club.

A prolific songwriter, Hannah’s recent credits include a song featured in a BBC Radio 4 drama, Cyprus’ entry for the 2025 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, and a number one dance record. In 2026, she returns to the studio to record new material.
