Blackheart

Enjoy an evening with the new stars of British contemporary folk. Chrissy Mostyn and Rick Pilkington are Blackheart: the fastest rising new stars of the British acoustic scene, who have had their unique style of music christened 'Urban Folk' by the UK music press.

Combining the sound of traditional acoustic folk instruments with a totally modern approach to their songwriting, they have a unique style of beautifully crafted, instantly memorable songs, which take their audiences on an emotional roller-coaster ride from sadness and sensitivity to the most energetic rocking folk that has audiences on their feet.

Their sound features the lemon and honey voice of Chrissy Mostyn and the jaw-dropping acoustic guitar and mandola playing of Rick Pilkington.

The songs they write are personal true stories about everything from hometowns and homelessness to faith and bereavement, and they tell fascinating, sometimes hilarious and sometimes very moving stories about the songs, how they were written and also about their unusual musical life on the road. Their schedule of over 150 shows a year has consolidated their name as one of the hardest working and audience inspiring acts on the folk scene today.

Doors and café will open at 7pm, with local musician Sol Harris at 7:30 and Blackheart on stage about 8pm.
