Thornton Hough Village Club, Wirral presents Kris Drever plus special guest Polly Paulusma.
Kris Drever is among Scotland’s most acclaimed and distinctive contemporary musicians, celebrated for his warm voice, virtuosically expressive guitar playing and imaginative and evocative songwriting. Raised in the Orkney Islands, Drever has carved out a unique place at the intersection of traditional folk and modern acoustic music, as a solo artist and as one third of the award-winning trio Lau.
Over the course of his career, Kris has won hatfuls of honours, including BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for Best Singer, Best Original Song, and Best Group with Lau. His solo work combines lyrics of depth and authenticity with expertly pitched arrangements, exploring themes of place, identity, and social change, delivered with clarity, compassion, and poetic insight.
Kris will be playing some brand-new songs as well as a selection from his back catalogue of originals and interpretations of traditional material on this tour.
Special guest is singer songwriter Polly Paulusma, making this a fabulous not to be missed double bill. Between writing, recording and touring Polly Paulusma teaches songwriting and poetry for Cambridge University and songwriting for the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, where she is Associate Professor of Song and Literature. Her extraordinary latest album ‘Wildfires’ has received the best reviews of her career.
‘This is unquestionably her masterpiece, which, like the title, burns and blazes, forged alike in the anguish and euphoria of love and life.’ KLOF Magazine
“A work of vision and beauty, these songs ring with truths that could only come from experience” ~ For Folks Sake
