The Vernon Spring at Aiteall

​The Vernon Spring is the recording project of London-born composer and producer Sam Beste. His music blends elements of jazz, soul, ambient, and songwriting, creating a distinctive and ethereal sound. Beste’s early exposure to a diverse range of music—from Thelonious Monk to Bob Dylan—shaped his eclectic musical palette. At eleven, a pivotal piano lesson ignited his passion for improvisation, setting the course for his musical journey. ​

In his early career, Beste served as the live pianist for Amy Winehouse, accompanying her throughout her career. This role led to collaborations with artists such as Gabriels, Kendrick Lamar’s producer Sounwave, Beth Orton, Kano, Joy Crookes, Matthew Herbert, and MF DOOM. ​

In autumn 2026 The Vernon Spring is going to be re-releasing, arguably their most popular work to date ‘A Plane Over Woods’ (2021) for its 5 Anniversary and will perform it in full at Aiteall.
