Description

Robb Johnson is widely recognized as one of the UK?s finest songwriters. ?An English original?, (Robin Denselow, the Guardian) ? ?one of our best singer-songwriters ever? (Mike Harding). He gigs in the UK, Belgium, Germany & the USA, & his songs are covered by many singers. In 2013 the release of a new, revised version of Gentle Men, Robb?s family history of the First World War, recorded with Roy Bailey & Barb Jungr, again received unanimous critical acclaim ? ?a wonderful mixture of the political and personal?A really moving piece of work? (Billy Bragg, & ?a folk classic? (The Guardian) A review of Robb?s 2014 album Us & Them said ?Robb Johnson keeps folk music relevant & thought-provoking. ?Us & Them? shows what can be created by one man & a guitar,? (The Living Tradition), while the following year?s band album, Here Goes Nothing, prompted the following review from R2: ?Within bars of the opening onslaught. It?s evident that Robb is quite the kamikaze axe man.?

Support comes from South London based Singer/Songwriter Joe Wilkes.

"There is a parallel universe to ours where Lady Gaga is a pub singer and Simon Cowell is a used car salesmen. In that same universe London singer/songwriter Joe Wilkes is a superstar, his records sell by the million.

Meanwhile in this dimension (every now and then), Joe puts out a collection of new songs, no big fanfares, just real music, sung and played by a real musician.".
