Event information
Johnny Campbell emerged onto the UK folk scene writing self-penned material and delving deep into Northern English folk song and story. “A Modern-Day Billy Bragg” – Tradfolk
Johnny Campbell is passionate about the songs and stories of northern England. Taking inspiration from traditional material, as well as penning new songs of his own, he explores what it means to be human today, as well as looking back at our history.
Campbell’s first album, From Hull & Halifax & Hell, took him even further north than you might expect, as he headed to the Faroe Islands to record it live on the island of Nolsoy. This was followed by three singles – Hard Times of Old England, Winter Hill Trespass and A Right to Roam, the latter of which was chosen by Tradfolk as one of the best folk songs of 2022.
