Newick Folk

//  Leave a Comment

Newick Folk play the music of these islands. This means mainly traditional music plus anything else that takes our fancy. That could range from Lily the Pink and My Old Man’s a Dustman to the themes from Captain Pugwash or Blackadder and maybe even Rave on / Bye Bye Love or the La Mer. We set out to entertain you and we love it when people get up and dance. We play at lots of Ceilidhs for Weddings and significant birthday events where there is a wide range of ages.

We are based in Newick and play many local events and sessions throughout Sussex with occasional ventures to Kent, Surrey and the nearer bits of London

The Stand Up Inn, Acoustic Session

//  Leave a Comment

This session will be presented by Mike and Marie featuring three 45 minute performances by different acoustic duos.

14.00 Purple Shoes Duo
The Purple Shoes are a British female fronted Folk Rock band with a Country and Folk Pop twist. Their music is drenched in beautiful melodies and “harmonious lusciousness” with a thumping back beat and double bass. Often compared to Fleetwood Mac with a Travelling Wilburys vibe, The Purple Shoes are honest and raw and they carry you along with the sheer fun they are having.

 

 

 

15.00 Dark Horse Duo
Dark Horse Duo are Steve Brown (guitar and vocals) and Kate Emmerson (vocals), a Sussex-based acoustic duo playing all the best in pop, rock, folk, jazz and motown favourites from the 40s to present day. Steve and Kate met at a local Open Mic Night and bonded over a mutual music taste; with a few classics, a few surprises and a ton of great foot stomping tunes.

 

 

16.00 To be advised

With three albums under his belt, and stints with Paul Jones and The Blues Band, and more recently with Tony Joe White, blues guitarist Jack Blackman is quickly establishing himself as a standout musician, songwriter and performer. He has performed his songs all across the country and as far as the Mississippi Delta and received accolades from the likes of BBC Radio 2s ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris, who described his guitar playing as ‘exceptional’ and folk guitar hero Martin Simpson who marvelled, ‘At last! A brilliant young guitarist coming through’,

A rapidly rising star of the blues guitar, singer-songwriter Jack Blackman provides original contemporary blues numbers flavoured with folk and country (elements of Dylan and Tom Petty in the mix too) for a highly original fusion of styles underpinned by his accomplished guitar playing and his smooth vocals – which one reviewer described as “reminiscent of Squeeze’s Glenn Tilbrook” – and songwriting hooks.
