Donna Fullman

Event information

Influences from the 60s and 70s sweep through her bittersweet authentically stunning songs – which embrace the unique vibes of folk, country and blues. With a myriad of influences in particular to the great Kirsty McColl and Sandy Denny, Donna Fullman is set to become one of the great singer songwriters to emerge from the UK.

This eleven track album was recorded at the prestigious Homesick Recording Studios with Producer Simon Janes (Mary Hampton, Bonobo, My Little Problem). It was recorded with a string of exceptionally talented musicians including Nelson Day (The Beautiful Word), Paul Holland (Xray Specs), Ben Townsend (Lucky Jim), Andrew Stuart Buttle (Common Tongues).

“'By The Fire' is very haunting, so much so in fact that in such a simple way it chills the heart and soul completely, forcing the listener to give their full attention. Donna Fullman has an exceptional voice, it’s beautiful, and we’d love to hear more of it."

Conrad Vingoe - He takes standard folk-like forms back to their essence so that the grains of the genre are important rather than the veneer of fashion. His touch is deft and almost feminine, his words like driftwood, softly sung, the effect on you like the building of the dunes; almost imperceptible until you suddenly realise that the songs inhabit you.

Dylan Walshe - First visit to Brighton for London based folk singer Dylan Walshe. He performs regularly on the London and Dublin circuits, living between both. With a history of playing various instruments in many bands, it is as a solo artist that Dylan has gone from strength to strength and he undeniably cuts a refreshing figure on the live music scene as a real song-writing talent.

“Stompin’ one man harmoniser Dylan Walshe will entrance and entertain you with his tales carried from London to Dublin and back again. He has been likened to the original Bluesmen like Leadbelly & Mississippi John Hurt. We think there’s more than a touch of Nick Cave and also his namesake tooked in there too which is no bad thing.” – Countrier Than Thou
