Newton Faulkner

Newton Faulkner performs in Chester at The Live Rooms, a venue that mainly hosts concerts in pop, rock and indie. This evening is a live show by a singer-songwriter and guitarist.

Newton Faulkner is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music sits within pop, rock and indie. Faulkner's acoustic style combines fingerpicked melodies with percussive playing on the body of the guitar, and songs are built around clear, catchy hooks. The debut album, Hand Built by Robots, released in 2007, brought the single Dream Catch Me to wide attention in the United Kingdom, and the later records have continued the mix of guitar-led arrangements and pop songwriting.

The Live Rooms in Chester mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music, so the programme there suits listeners who follow those styles and want to hear songs played with a single guitar at the centre. Newton Faulkner's live shows draw on this solo guitar-based catalogue, which is the core of the act's identity.

The show is part of the venue's regular concert programme in Chester, offering a chance to see a songwriter whose work has been built around the guitar since the late 2000s.
