Thursday 4th April

The first of a fortnightly showcase of folk and new music at The Druids Arms, Brighton

We are very pleased to be partnering with our friends at Brighthelmstone Promotions to bring you ‘Folk at The Druids Arms’.

The first evening promises to get us off to a great start with two amazing artists;
…
Lucy Cait

We are very pleased to welcome Lucy Cait, who with her debut EP, ‘Gabriel’s Wharf’, brings a very London take on folk music. If the cliché of folk is one of ethereal sounds and woodland imagery, Lucy Cait is redefining her corner of the genre. Whilst others are influenced heavily by Laura Marling and Joni Mitchell, Lucy readily admits to having a musical background set far apart from the genre she works in. She never listens to Dylan, and hadn’t even heard of Mitchell’s ‘Blue’ album until her own record was done and dusted. Brought up on the music of John Legend and Kanye West and, more recently, Johnny Flynn and Warpaint, Lucy found herself able to create a form of folk music that is entirely her own.

Jack Harris

Jack Harris is no stranger to The Druids Arms, having played two excellent shows last summer. Influenced by the old country blues masters and folk singers of the British Isles, his performances are a riveting display of soulful, smoky vocals and intricate, finger-style playing.
His most recent album, “The Flame and the Pelican” is further proof that Jack Harris is set to become one of Britain’s most consistent Folk story-tellers. In fact, The Telegraph gave it a great four and half star review and rated it number 5 in 2012 Roots albums of the Year

We look forward to putting on this show and, hopefully, seeing some of you in the audience x
