 Join us for an evening of incredible Live music from folk artist Henry Parker and acoustic guitarist singer David Ian Roberts

“His relaxed vocals and songwriting are as warm and open as his tunings” 8/10 Uncut Magazine.

What Parker does so effectively is to blend ancient with early-70’s and modern styles” Mojo ★★★★

“Focussing on the seasons is an eternal feature of English folk music, and the tradition is well tended here.” Shindig! ★★★★

Channelling the ghosts of Jansch and Renbourn through his fingertips, the fluid playing and emotive singing of Yorkshire-born Henry Parker evokes the spirit of the early-60s folk revival as if it were yesterday.” RnR Magazine ★★★★★

With his eco-conscious debut album ‘Silent Spring’ (2019), Henry Parker laid down a new sound for modern folk music, drawing deep from the well of the sixties and seventies revival. His style is a clear joining of the past and the present, a unique voice in the folk world that echoes with sounds of the tradition whilst venturing beyond into the realms of folk-rock and psych.

David Ian Roberts takes inspiration from great acoustic guitarists such as Nick Drake, Bert Jansch and Elliott Smith and brings in elements of classical and jazz music. His lyrical imagery finds parallels between our emotional landscapes and the natural world.
