From Psychedelia To Sonnets - A Life In Words And Music

Ashley Hutchings is renowned as the founder of Fairport Convention and other successful folk rock bands including Steeleye Span and the Albion Band.

What is less well known about Ashley is his talent as a wordsmith. In 2014 he published his first book 'Words Words Words' a personal selection of song lyrics, poems, sonnets and other writings that both span his entire career - and tell his story.

An evening in Ashley's company is an opportunity to listen to him tell the stories behind his writings, add detail to the history of the bands he has created and describe some of the many projects he has brought to fruition.

To set the scene for some of the stories, Ashley has invited talented singer / multi-instrumentalist Ruth Angell to create an atmospheric background. She will also read the female parts of several of the pieces that Ashley will talk about and accompany him on acoustic guitar, violin and harmonium on others.
