ALEX HART

“The Stevie Nicks of Folk” is quite a label to live up to. Thanks Mr Mark Radcliffe off BBC Radio 2 Folk Show.....although clearly meant as a compliment. Whatever the expectation, the UK country/Americana market is a stronger place for Alex Hart’s presence.
Martin Barre formerley of JETHRO TULL (featuring on the Summery single Strangers And Lovers), + Seth Lakeman and Benji Kirkpatrick (whose own new solo album is also imminent) all make guest appearances. Alex of course, is familiar enough with Seth and Benji from being a regular touring partner in the terrific trio to bring their contribution to play, subtly enhancing her songs without overpowering the quality of the songwriting.
ALEX HART is a young lady going places.
Sharing tonight's bill with CRAIG JOINER

Craig Joiner has been a professional musician for over 25 years, doing his first ever spot at the Cellar Folk Club in Old Hemel Hempstead when he was 16. In recent years Craig has returned to the Folk Club scene gaining an impressive following and honing the songs for his debut solo album ‘Art Of Landing’. He kept himself busy during the pandemic recording a second album due out early next year. He also did several shows during the pandemic supporting artists such as Kitty Macfarlane and The Magpies and more recently he has supported Charlie Dore and performed a double header with Odette Michell. “Craig is a singer / songwriter and his personal based songs are very accessible, with all the foibles of life that we can relate to.” - Tony Birch - FATEA In 2021 Craig won on the Introducing Stage at the Great British Folk Festival and build on that success at folk clubs and festivals around the country later this year and in 2023.
