Henry Parker & Michael Woods - Live @ The Cycle Hub

An opportunity to see two nationally acclaimed UK based folk/blues artists co-headlining in the intimate setting of the Cycle Hub on Newcastle's Quayside.
Henry Parker's contemporary take on folk, which he explores via thoughtful yet deeply accomplished guitar playing, unfurls and moves much like the landscape itself – mirroring the unpredictable, yet beautifully flowing, rolling hills and valleys of his home
He is a young rising star who channels the intricate fingerpicking style of folk/blues players like John Renbourn, Bert Jansch & Davy Graham and combines it with his own influences to create progressive, left-field modern folk music with a psychedelic twist; a sound which is uniquely his own. Henry will be coming to the Cycle Hub fresh from completing his European Tour with Katie Spencer.
Michael is well known for his appearances in UK blues festivals & clubs across the country. He began in folk & acoustic clubs, his own writing style drawing again from the likes of Renbourn & Graham as well as the early acoustic bluesmen of the 1930s.
Their worlds collide with a shared love of the music of these great folk/blues artists, as well as music from outside the genre and an interest in local people & places; both men's lyricism drawing from their native areas, Yorkshire and the North East respectively.

The Cycle Hub has a licensed bar with local beers from Wylam Brewery, Allendale and Anarchy.
