Scruff of the Neck presents Rachel Newnham plus support live Downstairs at The Dome

Born in Southport and now based in London, Rachel Newnham is quickly making a name for herself in the UK pop scene. She began writing and releasing songs in 2023, and in just over a year, Rachel has built impressive momentum, building a TikTok following of over 34K fans, landing support from Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer editorial playlists, alongside airplay from BBC Radio 1 and BBC Introducing Merseyside, where she is set to record a live session later this year.

On stage, Rachel has already proven her ability to captivate audiences. She sold out her debut headline show at The Grace in London earlier this year,  she’ll be playing Truck Fest this summer and supporting Modern Love on their upcoming UK and European tour. Past support slots include Here At Last on their UK farewell tour (including a sold-out show at the O2 Academy Islington), Thala, Tom Abisgold, and Bee Arnold.
