Grammy-nominated Amy Wadge and Luke Jackson are to play an exclusive gig at Stanley Halls on February 28.

Double Grammy Award-nominee Amy is widely regarded as one of the country’s most successful female singer-songwriters. Over the course of five solo albums, two collaborations, numerous compositions for other artists and hundreds of live performances all over the globe, she has established an outstanding body of work.

She has recently written songs with numerous upcoming songwriters, including Ed Sheeran, who released an EP, “Songs I Wrote With Amy”. BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris describes her as ,”An irresistible, riveting performer”.

Luke is a rising young Roots singer-songwriter from Canterbury, Kent , and 2013 saw him nominated for both the Horizon Award for Best Emerging Talent and the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award.

With a bold, show stopping voice and honed guitar skills, Luke is a confident and captivating performer demonstrating an astonishing maturity. He has been making waves on the live acoustic scene and delivered startling performances at UK festivals, from Cambridge to Sidmouth and The Great British Folk Festival. According to Acoustic Magazine, he is “an outstanding heir to the likes of Richard Thompson and Martin Simpson”. With a wealth of finely observed narrative songs, his most recent album, “Fumes and Faith” emphasises the exceptional maturity and versatility.
