Steve Knightley at St Ives September Festival

Steve Knightley returns to the September Festival with his solo show after last appearing as front man of Show Of Hands in 2023 as they began their year-long Final Circle tour. The highly-acclaimed and multi-award-winning singer-songwriter and musician, occupies a prominent position in the Folk/Acoustic and Roots scene.
Festival patron Knightley’s musical journey is deeply intertwined with a profound connection to geographical places, particularly the West Country where he lives.
His work, infused with a profound love of English traditional folk music, the songs of Bob Dylan and the poetry of Ted Hughes showcases a unique ability to craft compositions that authentically bridge historical narratives with contemporary themes.
His influential Country Life secured a nomination for the best song at the 2004 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and his impactful anti-banking anthem Arrogance, Ignorance and Greed won Best Song in 2010. Steve’s composition The Galway Farmer has transcended its origins and is often mistakenly labelled a ‘traditional Irish folk song’, while Cousin Jack has become a modern-day Cornish anthem. £27 Tickets online at www.stivesseptemberfestival.co.uk
