My Darling Clementine

Event information

With five highly acclaimed albums and more than a thousand shows already in the bag, Michael Weston King and Lou Dalgleish, aka My Darling Clementine, have stablished themselves as one of the most beloved acts on the UK Americana scene, and we are delighted to welcome them back to Great Easton as they showcase songs from their forthcoming sixth studio album.

January 2024 saw them play a fabulous house concert in Great Easton that made them many new fans, and they have since toured Japan, the USA, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands, as well as numerous shows around the UK; so don’t miss what is sure to be another great night at the village hall.

Support comes from Corby musician Keiron Farrow, who has been turning heads in the area recently after a number of well-received gigs. Here's what Kontra Roots organiser, Kevin Buxton, had to say about him:

""I’d heard promising things about Keiron but it was only when he stepped in at short notice to replace a featured act at my club that I really appreciated how good he is. With great songs, expert punchy guitar and a voice reminiscent of Tom Waits - allied to a rough-hewn charisma - he’s very listenable, very watchable and really cuts through to an audience. He went down a storm and I’ll definitely be booking him again. I suspect he’s going to get better too. One to watch."

Free on-street parking is available on High Street and nearby, and there will be a full bar (cash and card).
