"If you think songs should have meaning, this is a fantastic opportunity to explore the songwriter's craft from some of its finest artisans!"
Neil King, FATEA Magazine

Three top UK singersongwriters present a SONGWRITERS CIRCLE concert in this brilliant venue. Greg Hancock, Alex Seel and Chris Cleverley will take the stage together and then in turn, perform selections of their compositions. This is a perfect format to compare and contrast styles and techniques, and there will be plenty of interaction - both musical and verbal between the performers!
Greg Hancock only began performing a few years ago after many years living overseas but has quickly built up a solid reputation as one of the UK's most original songwriters and skillful guitarists. He makes observations on the human condition that can be serious, but are always imbued with a wry sense of humour and an unexpected turn of phrase. There are echoes of influences such as Nic Jones, John Martyn and Joni Mitchell in his work... but the overall sound is completely his own.

A master guitarist, exquisite songwriter and beautiful arranger of music... one of the finest songwriters in the UK and should be heard by as many music lovers as possible!
Blues and Roots
Alex Seel's songs go right to the heart of the matter. Whether he's exploring themes of love, life or modern society, he weaves his deceptively gentle lyrics around subtle and sophisticated melodies and song structures. More Americana and blues influenced than Greg, his virtuoso guitar playing ranges from the sweetly melodic to a crisp punchy rhythmic style that is entirely unique.

His voice is a thing comprised of equal parts comfort and mystery, and it perfectly suits the songs, which are intimate but at the same time just a little bit untamed.

Chris Cleverley is one of the most exciting musicians of the new generation of alt-folk songwriters and guitarists. His 2019 album "We sat back and Watched it Unfold" demonstrated beyond any doubt the originality of his songwriting and the brilliance of his guitar playing, and the album was received to widespread acclaim in the media. He has toured widely around the UK and is definitely an artist that will be setting new standards of excellence for the generation that comes after him to try to emulate!
