Some songs are made to be streamed. Others are made to be sung to a room small enough to hear a breath catch. On Monday, October 26, 2026, North London singer-songwriter Lili Caseley takes the headline spot at The Pheasantry, the storied Chelsea music room at 152 King’s Road, for a night that lands at exactly the right moment: just three days after the worldwide release of her new single, “I Cry Again.” Joining Lili Caseley for the evening of performances include Amy Allard and Theo Sawyer.
The timing gives the evening its electricity. “I Cry Again,” out October 23, is Caseley at her most exposed, a song about the memory that will not stay gone and the tears that return long after you were certain you had moved on. A record that honest is a different thing altogether when the person who wrote it is standing a few feet away, and The Pheasantry offers the rare chance to meet this chapter of her music while it is still only days old.
It is hard to imagine a better room for it. The Pheasantry has long been one of London’s great listening rooms, a place with deep musical heritage where the tables are close, the lights are low and the audience comes to lean in rather than talk over the band. There is nowhere for a performer to hide on that stage, which is precisely why it suits an artist whose whole gift is telling the truth and letting the room feel it.
For Caseley, the night is also a homecoming of sorts. She was featured at The Pheasantry earlier this year on the bill of FENIX360’s London Showcase, one voice among several on a shared evening. On October 26 she returns as the headliner, with the top of the bill and the full arc of the night her own. Caseley is an official FENIX360 Ambassador, representing the artist-first platform built to connect independent musicians directly with their fans.
Raised in Camden, the daughter of a Portuguese mother who grew up in France and an English father, Caseley writes soulful pop colored by that heritage, by the poets she loves and by the pop greats she grew up on. Since debuting with “Have I Ever” in 2018, she has moved easily between the dance floor and the ballad on singles including “C’est La Vie,” “Badoom,” “Hotel Du Palais” with Nick Vyner and “Al Pacino,” earning support from Clash, Notion, Music Week and the Official Charts, along with airplay on BBC Radio 1Xtra and BBC Introducing. A headline set gives her the space to show all of it, the swagger and the ache alike.
Amy Allard: Poetic Storytelling Meets Captivating Pop
Joining Caseley is Amy Allard, the talented Suffolk-born singer-songwriter whose emotionally rich compositions, ethereal vocals, and cinematic approach to pop music have established her as an exciting emerging voice in the British independent music scene.
Allard’s music is built around storytelling, transforming deeply personal emotions and everyday experiences into beautifully crafted songs that resonate with listeners.
Her songwriting combines poetic imagery, memorable melodies, and a striking emotional honesty, drawing inspiration from artists such as Taylor Swift while developing a musical identity entirely her own.
Allard has already performed before audiences of thousands at Ipswich Music Day and the Ipswich Fireworks Display, demonstrating her ability to connect with listeners on both intimate and large stages.
Her music has also received airplay on BBC Suffolk and BBC Norfolk.
With releases including “Switzerland,” “Daisy Dust,” “The Best Night Ever,” and “Where Is Your Boyfriend?”, Allard has continued developing a catalogue that balances contemporary pop appeal with personal expression.
Her more recent creative direction, including the introspective “All the Poetry,” highlights her passion for cinematic arrangements and songs that transport audiences into vivid emotional worlds.
At The Pheasantry, Allard will bring her distinctive blend of vulnerability, lyrical sophistication, and melodic charm to an evening celebrating independent musical creativity.
Theo Sawyer: International Pop-Rock Energy and Honest Songwriting
Also appearing on October 26 is Theo Sawyer, the New Zealand-born singer-songwriter, musician, and producer whose energetic blend of alternative pop, contemporary rock, and emotionally intelligent storytelling has attracted growing attention.
Now working between the United Kingdom and France, Sawyer brings an international musical perspective shaped by influences ranging from classic rock to contemporary alternative pop.
His musical journey began performing on the streets of Devonport, New Zealand, where his talent for connecting with audiences helped transform casual busking performances into a serious recording and performing career.
Sawyer later made his UK live debut at London’s Camden Club in 2023, marking an important step in his international development.
His releases, including “Love Drunk,” “Forget Your Ex,” and “Get Together (Lonely),” introduced audiences to his ability to combine infectious melodies with relatable stories about love, relationships, and personal growth.
In 2026, Sawyer has continued exploring these themes through projects featuring songs such as “Words Run Out,” “All You Know,” and “Love You the Most.”
His latest musical direction incorporates expansive arrangements, layered instrumentation, and introspective lyrics that examine the lessons people learn through relationships and life experiences.
Sawyer has also collaborated on live alternative performances with renowned musician Mike Moran, whose credits include the Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé classic “Barcelona.”
His appearance at The Pheasantry promises to add another exciting dimension to the evening, bringing a contemporary pop-rock edge to a lineup united by authentic songwriting and emotional connection.
Three artists, one storied room on the King’s Road and a brand-new song with the ink barely dry. Chelsea should come ready to feel something.
