Singer songwriter Paul McClure is known for his intimate, story telling concerts and his characters and story lines.
The loves, laughs and losses that have come his way, though lyrically often brutally honest, nearly always allow the humorous side of any situation come forward.
And on Saturday night (April 29), he’ll be live at Tingewick Village Hall.
Since giving up his teaching job to follow his dreams and go full time in January 2014, McClure has clocked up the miles finding places to play from Southampton to Manchester, Southend to Bristol with shows at folk clubs around the country including acclaimed performances at Wychwood and Cambridge folk clubs and Roots Music Club, Doncaster, sharing the stage with such touring folk and Americana musicians as Emily Barker, Otis Gibbs (USA) Red Sky July, Sons Of Bill (USA) Red Moon Road (Canada) Edwina Hayes and The Young 'Uns.
"McClure’s style of music may not be commercially fashionable these days, but, open, honest, warmly melodic and beautifully honed, it’s never going to be without a loyal following." Mike Davies, Folk Radio UK
Recently featured on Mark Radcliffe's Radio 2 show and with an album of new songs released on UK Americana label Clubhouse Records, things are looking up for the Rutland Troubadour...
McClure accompanied the release of his new album 'Smiling From The Floor Up' with an extensive tour of not only some of the UK's best known folk/Americana venues but also a large number of house concerts hosted by fans in an attempt to both connect with his audience in a close and intimate setting and also to bring the sound of live music back into the home.
Doors open at 7.30pm and support comes from The August List.
Tickets are £12 on the door.
