Blue Lantern is a monthly celebration of the finest folk, acoustic, roots and Americana music, held in the intimate Garret Theatre at Storyhouse Chester. Curated and hosted by The Piano’s Channel 4-featured duo Igloo Hearts, each night brings together exceptional artists and a warm, music-loving community.

These utterly immersive evenings feature a short opening set from Igloo Hearts, followed by a rising support act and a standout headliner — all in a relaxed, welcoming space where the connection between audience and performer truly shines.

Blue Lantern has welcomed some of the most respected names on the UK folk scene, including BBC Radio’s Mark Radcliffe, Mercury-nominated Boo Hewerdine, and Michele Stodart of The Magic Numbers. With a growing reputation for discovering future stars and showcasing beloved legends, the series offers a unique “Jools Holland-style” experience right in the heart of Chester.

Whether you’re a long-time folk fan or new to the scene, Blue Lantern is a soulful, inspiring night out where stories are shared, harmonies soar, and music matters.
