Glastonbury-based singer/songwriter Nick Parker will perform at Reeth Memorial Hall in Swaledale on Friday, September 19.
Nick started gigging in his early teens playing mandolin and singing, touring the UK and Europe, first with folk/rock/skiffle band ‘Why?’ and then with his own guitar band ‘Tobermory’ before embarking on his solo career in 2010. Since then he has enjoyed more than 30 tours, releasing five full-length albums along the way, with many of his songs being featured on BBC6 Music and other stations.
His songs are often tongue-in-cheek and cheerful, and on the rare occasion when fun is poked (usually at himself) it is always with a wry smile and an element of satire. The audience are often encouraged to be a part of the show, from holding up lyrics or creating sound effects, to providing basslines or collectively being Nick’s duet partner.
Doors open at 7.30pm for an 8pm start.
Tickets are £14 in advance (£16 on the door) under 16s half price and proceeds are for the Memorial Hall; on sale at Reeth Post Office or contact Glen Steward 01748-884989, email: memorialhall@swaledale.org
