Roger Davies (including daytime Art Exhibition)

Event information

Roger Davies has established himself as an engaging songwriter through five solo albums and concert performances around the country. Described as being like a modern day musical LS Lowry, he writes extremely affecting soulful songs of love and life that celebrate the places and people he has grown up with, having been born and raised in Brighouse. (The old saying 'you can take the man out of Yorkshire but you can't take Yorkshire out of the man' certainly applies to Roger.) After accompanying Fairport Convention as their special guest on a thirty date UK tour, Roger has enjoyed many sold-out shows, including an outstanding performance at the Great British Folk Festival. Expect a selection of old favourites, plus lots of songs from his forthcoming new album.

“Beautiful songs” BBC Radio 3
“A fine singer and musician, with lots of great songs” BBC Radio Leeds
“Every song on his album is a standout track” Rock N’ Reel Magazine

Roger is also a late-developing artist whose work is becoming increasing popular, to an extent that he mostly works on commissions (search for him on YouTube being interviewed on BBC). His art will be on display during the day, alongside a number of professional artists from the Peak District Artisan and Derbyshire Open Arts groups. Ticket price includes entry to the exhibition, from 10:00 to 16:30. So arrive early, have a browse and maybe buy some art, have a meal at one of the nearby hostelries such as The George, and make a day of it!

Refreshments and licensed bar.
