Newton Faulkner

The dreadlocked troubadour from Surrey recently enjoyed a successful run playing protagonist Johnny in the West End production of the Green Day musical American Idiot but has now returned to laidback minstrelsy with a new album Hit The Ground Running and an extensive tour of Scotland, taking in Findhorn, Ullapool, Kirkwall, Lerwick, Inverness and Tobermory, with one day off to possibly catch some northern surf, before hitting the more generously served Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dunfermline and Glasgow. Findhorn Universal Hall, tonight, and on tour, www.newtonfaulkner.com
