We love a great voice here at The Eagle Inn, and these are three of the best. It’s the return of the wonderful Adam Holmes.. Adam will be playing material from his latest album, Survivor and from across his career.
Adam will be supported by J P Worsfold and Manchester’s Mr Novembre.
Adam Holmes cut his teeth in the world of folk music.
Taking a space at the end of the bar in legendary folk pub Sandy Bells at eight years old to soak up the music.
Age 15, The death of a close friend and a cascade into addiction.
Leaving school and moving out the family home age 16 he worked construction by day and battle rapped by night.
He found his way out through the focus of rapping until a singer booked didn’t show, Adam stepped up and discovered his singing voice.
On the very same day he was finally offered a Carpentry apprenticeship aged 19 he received a phone-call offering him a place in the semi finals of the BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2009.
He hasn’t looked back since.
Adam Holmes lyrics resonate like ancient folk songs. His melodies familiar and uplifting. Its not unusual to feel tears during his live shows which have the feel of a boozy church service.
James Bond meets Robert Burns. Classy and timeless.
J P Worsfold is a writer of emotional contemplative contemporary folk songs that speak of connection, joy and belonging.
With a subtle blend of rich vocal harmony, sweeping string arrangements alongside heartfelt piano and guitar.
They are songs to evoke life’s deeper meaning and to inspire connection within ourselves and the natural space around us.
You will find yourself captivated by spellbinding songs and performances that leave audiences feeling genuinely moved by a truly magical event.
MR NOVEMBRE hails from Dubai, by way of France, with some Celtic roots thrown about for good measure. Through his many travails, he’s come to craft hopeful songs of love and lore, with the help of many a friend along the way. Sweeping songs, deft fingerpicking, way too much tuning, and cathartic climaxes, Mr. Novembre aims to stir those emotions and soothe your troubles away.
