Newton Faulkner

A concert by Newton Faulkner, the English singer-songwriter and guitarist, at the O2 Institute2 in Birmingham, a Digbeth venue whose programme centres on pop, rock and indie music.

Newton Faulkner is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music pairs melodic songwriting with percussive fingerstyle acoustic guitar, in which the player also strikes the body of the instrument to add rhythm alongside the tune. The debut album, Hand Built by Robots, released in 2007, included the single "Dream Catch Me", one of the best-known songs associated with the project.

The O2 Institute2 Birmingham, at 78 Digbeth High Street, mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. Guitar-led songwriting and acoustic performance sit within that range, so the evening suits listeners who follow singer-songwriter material and want to hear the songs played with the guitar at their centre.
