Event information

Since winning Acoustic magazine's 2010 Singer Songwriter of the year, nu / anti-folk artist Gaz Brookfield has spent his time on the road, touring the UK and Europe. He has shared the stage with the likes of Levellers, Seth Lakeman, Frank Turner, New Model Army, Nick Harper, Newton Faulkner, Miles Hunt, and many more.

His songs are instantly accessible, everyman tales of life, love and everything else in between. He has so far released four albums the latest being 2016's "I Know My Place"

Gaz remains the only unsigned solo artist to sell out The Fleece, Bristol (450 cap). A feat he as now achieved 5 times. The last three times selling out over 6 months in advance.

Gaz's relentless and never-ending tour schedule takes him to every corner of the country and beyond though this will be his first time in Alton. The last few years have seen Brookfield play at over 100 UK festivals, including Glastonbury, Beautiful Days, Bearded Theory, and many more, firmly cementing him as a festival favourite for the future."

Gaz has an impressive back catalogue of nine studio albums. The latest of which, 'Morning Walking Club', went straight in at #1 in the Official UK Folk Album Charts, #3 in the Official UK Indie Breaker Charts, #6 in the Official UK Download Charts, #10 in the Official UK Indie Album Charts, and even #37 in the Official UK Album Sales Charts.

Not a bad result for this fiercely independent musician, with no record label, no manager, and no agent - just a guitar, a van, and a steadfastly belligerent refusal to give in
