Gary Barlow

"Wow! John Adams truly is the voice of the moment"
Carol Vorderman

John Adams is a Singer/Songwriter/Busker hailing from Aberdare in the South Wales Valleys. Blessed with a reach in his tone to match Sam Smith and James Blunt, Adams draws influences from honest songwriters such as James Morrison, Damien Rice and Passenger. John’s acoustic approach compliments his unique vocal abilitiy as he delivers heartfelt narratives we can all relate to.

This faithfulness to personal story is mirrored in how John came into the musical world, and continues to progress as a musician. A truly homegrown talent, he began his career busking on the streets, using the money to pay for his first release, fittingly entitled "The Pavement is My Stage". After the album reached No.3 in the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts in 2016 he took a leap of faith and left his job as a Mathematics Teacher. That gamble paid off and John has gone on to support household names such as Take That, Lemar, T’Pau and Katherine Jenkins.

We can’t wait to welcome John Adams, together with Andy Morgan on Piano and Ty Walker on acoustic drums to Village Concerts!

We are delighted that The John Adams Trio will be supported by Amber Leigh Irish!

With over 50 million worldwide streams in the last two years, it’s hard to believe that this Geordie lass is still only 21 years old! From hit TV shows such as Love Island to the BBC’s ‘The Greatest Dancer’, there aren’t many reality and entertainment TV shows that have not featured one of Amber’s songs.
