Folkestone Songwriting Festival Presents: A Night of Cosmic and Alt Country with The Hannah White Band & Lorraine Lucas with Kieren Mensah
We are so chuffed to be hosting another top-class music event with the UK’s Queen of Cosmic Country, Hannah White, her award-winning guitarist husband Kieron Marshall, and full band. 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 Kieron 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.
Lorraine Lucas and Kieren Mensah have been gaining attention with their new collaboration, with Kieren adding brilliant tone and soundscapes that complement Lorraine’s songs. As observed by a music journalist following a recent gig at The Sound Lounge:
“Lorraine Lucas writes captivating songs and holds the audience in the palm of her hand, with Kieren Mensah adding featherlight slide and demonstrating his skill as a young guitarist steeped in the blues.”
As ever, we are delighted to be working with Mark at 20th Century Speedway and can’t wait for this one! Support live music and love your local venues. 🎶
