LAWM presents one of the UKs most up and coming and innovative folk/blues guitarists and a glittering support. If you like any kind of

acoustic music you should make this one - John Smith can do things with a guitar that you may not have seen before!

JOHN SMITH (UK)

"A singular talent" - The Times
"He possesses a common name, but a rare talent" The Independent
"John Smith and his band continually swoon audiences with their own strain of Nu-Folk. It is only a matter of time before he is enormous."

- NME

John Smith is a young guitarist and songwriter who is steadily rising up the ranks of the British Folk scene. His blend of folk

storytelling and percussive, fingerstyle-based guitar creates a sound that has earned him a loyal following around the UK with music fans

of the folk greats as well as those of nufolk. He has supported the likes of John Renbourn, John Martyn and Davy Graham, as well as

becoming a firm favourite at The Green Man Festival in recent years. A great opportunity to catch him in a small venue while you can.

JENNY MCCORMICK (MANCHESTER)
Jenny McCormick is already establishing herself as one of the brightest talents of contemporary folk, but her delicate English rose voice

and lightly strummed guitar have more than a few shades of the traditional... With her sound now filled out by a banjo player she's nothing

short of sparkling. Definitely a name to look out for.

DAN MELROSE (MANCHESTER)
Dan Melrose is a singer-songwriter and guitar instrumentalist based in Manchester. He writes, records and performs original material that,

if it had to be pigeonholed, would be called folk. Blending the romance of folk music with the grim realities of the blues… Melrose uses

his guitar virtuosity to create a sound that balances the traditional with the modern.

MOLLIE BAXTER (LANCASTER)
Mollie Baxter continues to establish herself on the local Lancaster music and literary scene. She packs a deceptive punch as well as a

catchy tune.
