Newton Faulkner 12th Oct to 27th Oct ’09 Tour Concert Tickets
Newton Faulkner
The soulful, bluesy performer, Newton Faulkner is embarking on a tour of various venues in the UK and tickets can be obtained now.
The 23-year- old performer has had a meteoric rise to fame, with his first EP Full Fat soaring to the top of the singles charts in 2006 without any of the usual hype generated by record labels – in fact without any promotion at all.
Since then Newton Faulkner has become an unstoppable tour de force. With his handmade, acoustic guitar, his own dextrous technique of percussive playing, or “tapping”as he calls it, combined with a husky voice that makes your spine tingle and sporting the most impressive dreadlocks since James the Just, he can tame a restless audience with one flick of his wrist. Opening for Paulo Nutini during the World Cup, his cover of Massive Attack’s Teardrop stole the show, mesmerizing the crowd in their seats.
Out on tour, appearing at festivals like Glastonbury, the Cambridge Folk Festival and Secret Garden, Newton was getting massive audience and standing ovations, so much so that when his album, Hand Built By Robots was released, it went on to sell over 500,000 copies and spent two weeks at the number one slot in the album charts. The single Dream Catch Me co-written with Crispin Hunt, rose to number seven and secured him a nomination for Best Male Artist at the Brits.
Newton has said that he is at his most comfortable in front of an audience and he is a relaxed and entertaining performer with storytelling forming a compelling part of his sets, but it’s the songs themselves that will reach out and suck you in; one man and one guitar, singing from his heart it’s electrifying stuff!
