An Evening with Richard Grainger

  • 2016-08-17 19:30:00

In a career spanning 30 years Richard has written scores of songs, some of which are considered classics and 'part of the tradition'.

He is currently on the road promoting his latest album: “Hard Road to Prospect Hill” - an eclectic collection of mainly original compositions.

Subjects including love, death, the environment, industry, mining and murder are covered in beautifully crafted and skilfully performed tracks.

Long anticipated by his army of fans, it's getting rave reviews and will probably be his most successful album yet.  Comments so far include:

“Simply stunning”  
“Still writing songs that matter”     
“fabulously well-stocked majestic brilliantly infectious inventive and appealing”
“.. incredibly good ... Without doubt his best yet.
Superb songs, beautifully performed, arranged and produced.”

A widely respected songwriter and guitarist, Richard has been compared to Nic Jones and Martin Carthy. His songs are performed by artists including The Wilson Family, Flossie Malavialle, Dick Miles, Monkeys Fist, Kimbers Men and many more…

In 1984 his first solo album, 'Herbs on the Heart', was released by FELLSIDE to great critical acclaim. In the intervening years, he has produced a dozen more albums including 'Thunderwood' with accordionist, Chris Parkinson; 'Town in Time', a musical history of his hometown, Middlesbrough and 'Eye of the Wind', the tale of the world renowned explorer James Cook, produced for radio by the BBC with Sir David Attenborough narrating.

Richard Grainger lives in Whitby, North Yorkshire. As well as a prolific writer and performer, he's a great ambassador, educator and promoter of folk music, culture and tradition.

Don't miss this opportunity to see him on his home turf!
