SCOTT COOK & PAMELA MAE
THURSDAY, 9 JULY 2026 | DOORS AT 19:00, MUSIC FROM 19:30
THIS IS A GIFT ECONOMY EVENT

Scott Cook and Pamela Mae are the obscure answer to the infrequently asked question: who have given two of the most thrilling performances in the history of Notional Space? Scott describes his songs as “equal part introspection and insurrection”; but we’d add that the songs are tightly, smartly written and performed with a spare, intimate beauty. The first single from Scott’s soon to be released 8th album, “There Is a River”, has already won the grand prize in the Great American Song Contest.
