Singer-songwriter Newton Faulkner visits Cambridge as part of his UK tour
Following the release of his fifth album, Human Love, in November last year (and minus his trademark ginger dreadlocks) singer-songwriter Newton Faulkner plays live at Cambridge Corn Exchange this month as part of his current UK tour.
Maker of rootsy, mellow jams and known for his percussive style of guitar playing, Faulkner has two No.1 albums under his belt. His debut, 2007’s Hand Built by Robots, introduced us to his upbeat, sunny charms, storming straight to the top of the charts, giving us the standout single Dream Catch Me and earning him a Brit Award nomination. This was followed by Rebuilt by Humans a couple of years later and Write It On Your Skin in the summer of 2012, his second No.1 album.
His fourth album – the aptly named Studio Zoo – saw Newton open up the song-writing and recording process to his fans, streaming 24/7 live footage of him in the recording studio as he made the record, as well as giving viewers an insight into his brilliantly surreal banter (which you can expect to hear lots of if you go and see him playing live).
The gig takes place on 22 April and tickets are £24. The show starts at 7.30pm.
