LIVE AT THE BEDFORD PRESENTS: MUSIC WITH MEANING

NEWTON FAULKNER

Newton Faulkner is a man in motion. Across the songwriter’s freewheeling fifteen-year career, the sole constant has been his urge to tear down what came before, shed his creative skin, and outrun industry dogma. Already, that rebel spirit has seen Faulkner’s music pinball from the outer-limits acoustic sorcery of 2007’s UK#1 debut, Hand Built By Robots, through an acclaimed catalogue that takes in rock, pop, folk, soul, and beyond.

MARIE WHITE

Marie White won Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent competition in 2019, and has since signed a publishing deal and supported Keane on their UK tour. Marie grew up listening to her mum’s R&B favourites: Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, and Aretha Franklin, as well as her dad’s classic rock collection including David Bowie and Bruce Springsteen, and this eclectic combination of influences really shines through in her music. Like the lovechild of Tracy Chapman and Lewis Capaldi, her charismatic charm, irresistible vocal delivery, and anecdotal story-telling sparks empathy and recognition within every listener. Marie’s personal musical journey began after a life-changing sports injury altered the course of her future. Bedbound and heartbroken, she crafted her problems into poetry and started making music.
