Whitley Bay singer/songwriter and out-of-the-fog adoptee Carmen Curran presents a selection of songs, stories and poetry based around her debut album FAULT and her play of the same name which was longlisted for the North East Playwriting Award 2026.

Exploring themes of race, class, ethics and morals against a backdrop of shocking and painful discoveries, the show makes space for other adoptee voices with an open mic section after each performance.

Songs, stories and poems from an out-of-the-fog adoptee, because ‘babies grow and find their voices’ (from Carmen’s song Bar Sinister), in Mark E. Smith’s favourite boozer. An intimate, DIY performance combining music, visuals and spoken word.
