What fans are saying

April 21st 2024
Wonderful evening . Alex played to an audience in thrall to his music. With a mix of his own songs and of others his passion was evident to all. With lapsteel , bouzouki and guitar his talent brought his mastery as an established musician to the fore, while his own beautiful songs , such as Hacking Back and the Jolly Boat ,were sung with his mellow rich voice .The songs , introduced by his happy rapport with the audience, are much inspired by nature and the human condition. From his travels to Scotland to his love of Sussex and Dorset as well as the Mediterranean, his songs are his journeys. He is a hugely gifted musician who is rightly much in demand .

Alex Roberts Music Biography

To say that Alex has many strings to his bow would be a metaphor forgiven for the fact that it helps to conjure his presence as a musical magician. Almost totemic, whether it’s finger-style acoustic guitar, lap-steel, or bouzouki, Alex plays with a mastery borne of years of graft, craft, and of a man who seems to straddle boundaries of time.

His lyrics offer a fusion of cultural pertinence, generated by an acute appreciation for our earth and ancestry, and a raw gift for storytelling. His musical oeuvre is enriched by his travels and immersive living experiences, the result is an oasis of mini ‘odysseys’ in which each song feels like it has been specially harvested for our appreciation.

With titles bestowed upon him such as ‘the Bard of Dorset’ and ‘Hollowneck Troubadour’ (after his award winning use of the lap-steel guitar), Alex continues to respond to his calling as a troubadour.

His latest album - Meridians & Superpowers - is out now.


‘Alex’s music comes from the heart & will touch your heart. His songs weave stories, & the music wraps them up in magic. Be prepared to be swept away’
Wimborne Folk Festival

‘This is the best kind of music for me, beautifully written and wonderfully executed’
Mark Chadwick - The Levellers
