Hey Everyone
Welcome to November - our biggest brightest excitingest month EVER at Folk in
the Barn! The perfect antidote to the darkest dingiest month I reckon. It
starts tomorrow with the powerful and passionate singer songwriter Martyn
Joseph at the Gulbenkian. Martyn is one of our select few artists that get to
play here every year. This will be his eighth visit in the ten years since he
first came to play for us and we and his fans continue to support one of the
hardest working and most genuine musicians on the circuit. If you haven't seen
or heard of Martyn Joseph do come and see what you've been missing. An
incredible voice that spans a roar to a whisper, a way of playing guitar that
makes you think there's a whole band on stage, and songs of searing honesty
and humanity, delivered with humility and humour... Here's some words about
Martyn from people that can put it better than me....
“Stunning, heartfelt music”
Bob Harris BBC Radio 2, October 2013
“Springsteen-indebted Americana, suspended folk chords glistening beneath
troubadour tales, his lyrical eloquence still inspired almost 30 years on from
his debut”
MOJO
“One of the most charismatic and electrifying performers in Britain
today tough and passionate”
Tom Robinson BBC 6 music
“One of acoustic music’s most original voices, and most forward looking of his
generation of singer/songwriters”| Q Magazine
“A profound experience”
The Boston Globe
“Songs of social commentary as much as love, with a rootsy sensibility”
Time Out
“Written with craft, performed with passion”
Financial Times
“He is one of our most intelligent writers. He gets better and better like the
finest of wines”
Bob Harris BBC Radio 2
“Britain`s best kept secret a challenging songwriter and a compelling
courageous live performer”
MoJo 4* review
Martyn has played at most of our various venues, this is his first time at The
Gulbenkian, and strangely there are quite a few empty seats left to fill. If
you're free tomorrow night, take a chance, you won't regret it. Bring along a
young person, we have a student discount. Doors 7pm, starts at 7.30pm £17
full price, £10 students.
The rest of Fabulous November....

helping out.

Then to 2016
It's been a very busy time at FitB Towers, as we mentioned last time. In
addition to promoting the current season of concerts, we've been booking lots
of new ones for next year. Check the website
www.folkinthebarn.co.uk
you'll
see we've added some fab new dates in January and February. January sees the
return of the popular 'Even Cosier' series at the Black Robin and February is
just pure class. We have Steve Knightley with his 'All at Sea' Tour, by the
sea in Whitstable and most excitingly of all, in the lead up to their 50th
year - we have not one but TWO Fairport Convention dates, again at the
Gulbenkian. While you're there click on
www.fairportconvention.com
and have a
look at their brand new website. Good innit! Links for the January gig
tickets should be live by midday on Monday and the February gigs are open for
booking right now. I'm thinking Christmas presents.... ? Does that help?
A quick thank you for all who came along to the Barn last weekend for Chris
Leslie - it was a wonderful evening, great to see so many there. Chris was
superb, one to watch - he could go far....
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Debs
