Folkestone Songwriting Festival Presents: A Night of Cosmic and Alt Country with Hannah White & Keiron Marshall. Opening set from Findlay Napier
We are so chuffed to be hosting another top-class music event with the UK’s Queen of Cosmic Country, Hannah White with her award-winning guitarist husband Keiron Marshall. This promises to be something really special.
Hannah picked up Album of the Year and Best Live Act at the Americana UK Festival in 2024 for her album produced by Michele Stodart, and has just come off tour with Jools Holland, where she went down a storm. Hannah and Keiron also run the brilliant venue The Sound Lounge in Sutton, and are true advocates not only for grassroots music but also for community cohesion, working tirelessly to support both.
Together they are four-time winners at the AMAUK Awards for songwriting, live act and instrumental categories, and are currently in Nashville representing the UK at the Americana Music showcase. Hannah is a class writer and performer who truly deserves her Best Live Act title — she is sensational.
Findlay Napier is well known to past students of the Folkestone Songwriting Festival as an excellent tutor but Findlay is also a succesful and much lauded artist in his own right with many awards under his belt – the latest being Composer of the Year at the Na Trad awards.
Findlay has released solo five albums and is also a member of the Folk ‘supergroup’ the Magpie Arc.
His live sets are always entertaining not just for the excellent songs but also to enjoy Findlay’s knack for telling a good tale.
