Saturday 21st September – Gerry Colvin + Olivia Stevens
Both evening concerts commence at 7.30pm.
Fred’s House – Vix, Prue, Lachlan, Gafyn and Paul – are well known for their very lively and entertaining shows but they also have those songs that bring a tear to the eye. Expect catchy melodies, feel-good vibes and powerhouse vocals featuring 4-part harmonies, soaring violin, rocking guitar and a dancing rhythm section.
Frequently heard on BBC Radio 2, including its Pick of the Week show, and described by countless audience members and reviewers as ‘uplifting’ and ‘inspirational’, Mark Harrison is a totally original songwriter, a stunning guitarist, and a master storyteller.
Mark’s live shows are well-known for the memorable melodic songs and a very distinctive guitar style; he takes elements of folk and blues to create something new that is very much his own genre.
Over the years Gerry Colvin has toured Europe and the USA and appeared on countless Radio and TV shows including The Tube and The Old Grey Whistle Test with his bands and collaborators.
The irrepressibly exuberant Gerry Colvin is not just a folk-pop legend, he’s one of this country’s finest songwriters and a sensational live performer with more energy than your average power station.
Capable of bringing a tear to your eye or stoking a fire in your heart, his thoughtful, playful, insightful, compassionate and melodically infectious songs speak to everyone.
Olivia Stevens is singer songwriter led by blues-fuelled folk-soul. Her music is upbeat and jazz infused, with a slice of folk and soul on the side!
