About this concert
Come to The Sound Lounge for a great FREE ENTRY triple bill with Bity Booker, Russell Swallow and Joe Wilkes. Three great young singer-songwriters putting a new spin on folk music.
Bity Booker is an Italian/Australian folk singer-songwriter and visual artist who lives in South London. She is a lover of nature, animals and folklore. Her work is inspired by the weird and wonderful quirky stories in our world and her deep and curious imagination. Bity grew up in an artistic family in the countryside in Umbria, she graduated from Art School in Italy and has lived between Italy, Australia and England.
Russell Swallow is a singer-songwriter who has lived in both London and Berlin. With a focus on confessional lyrics and pairing live organic and programmed electronic sounds, Russell creates a refreshing synthesis of the classic British folk tradition blended with ambient Berlin soundscapes.; songs that range from hushed, prayer-like hymns to soaring indie epics.
Joe Wilkes is a South London-based folk singer, songwriter and guitar picker. Following formative years fronting a variety of oddball guitar bands, Joe relocated to Paris where he started recording with arranger Antoine Reininger who he would later work on three albums with. His album 'Here On This Frontline' saw Wilkes fine-tune a politically conscious European folk identity. Joe has shared the stage with folk legends Bert Jansch and Davey Graham, both of whom became fans of his original guitar style and often politically-charged songs,
