Paul McClure, aka The Rutland Troubadour, is one of the hardest working artists around.
Continually gigging and making music. He takes his inspiration from his world and the people in it.
And he'll pick up more inspiration, one hopes, when he performs under the Forest, Folk & Roots banner later this week.
His involvement in 'Nebraska Sessions - A Tribute' to mark the 30 year anniversary of Bruce Springsteen's 'Nebraska' led to his first solo output, the excellent debut album in 2014 "Smiling From The Floor Up".
A stripped-back release showing his early influences such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Johnny Cash.
'Paul is an incredibly talented songwriter with big catchy melodies,' reckons Think Country Magazine, 'His songs are at times very humorous, rebellious, sometimes sad but always refreshingly honest. His material is like him - confident, highly original and totally individual.' Nice words.
Paul will be playing at The College Arms in Cranfield on Friday night (October 26). Doors open at 7.30pm and support is coming from Roswell, a spaning new Americana/Folk/Indie duo featuring singer-songwriters Zoë Wren and Jasmine Watkiss.
Advance tickets are £8 (£4 for students) and are available direct from The College Arms Bar or online here
