This special concert is with two very talented young musicians/singer songwriters making waves in the folk and acoustic music world. We are proud to pull together this special evening
Katie Spencer is making a very welcome return to Wadsworth Community Centre after performances all over the UK including Celtic Connections and Cambridge Folk Festival, . Katie Spencer?s highly anticipated new album, The Edge of the Land (2022), follows her debut release, Weather Beaten (2019) which was praised for its unique song-craft, spell-binding musicianship and crystal sonic clarity, as she brought together fans of music from all backgrounds and walks of life. With her assured, distinctive voice she explores themes of home, solitude and love, against a backdrop of intricate finger-style guitar.
?Katie?s guitar playing has echoes of my dear friend the late great Bert Jansch. Like a musical weaver she threads her poetic lyrics through the guitar?s strings and produces little tapestries of song.? ? Ralph McTell?
?Circling crystal shimmering fingerpicked guitar ? delicate, pastoral folk? Folking.com
Ellie Gowers is a songwriter and guitarist from Warwickshire. What grew from a childhood love of literature and traditional folk song is a carefully crafted and emotionally mature catalogue of original material, referencing artists such as Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, and Laura Marling.
Bringing to the stage a strong voice full of expression and maturity, her songs are written with sociological, ecological, and personal themes in mind. 2022 is set to be a big year for Ellie. She starts the year writing music for a BBC Radio 3 production in March, and will be touring the UK as Blair Dunlop?s special guest on his 20 date UK spring tour.
In late Spring her highly anticipated debut album Dwelling by the Weir is set to be released. Weaving the past, present, and future together, the album is an exploration of the folklore, stories, and people that made her home county of Warwickshire what it is today.
?A strong voice immediately impressed, only to be then joined by admiration for her song writing? - Folk Radio
?Ellie Gowers? exquisite voice and unique vocal style was absolutely mesmerising. She?s one to watch? - Love Shrewsbury (Shrewsbury Folk Festival)
