About the show
Join us for an intimate double-headline evening featuring two distinctive folk storytellers, Bity Booker and Rob Corcoran.
Bity Booker is an Italian-Australian alternative folk musician and visual artist based between Thanet and London. Inspired by nature, animals, folklore and the wonderfully strange stories found in our world, Bity combines classical guitar, hypnotic fingerpicking and a beautifully expressive voice to create wistful songs filled with dreams, ghosts and forest whispers.
Dublin-born, London-based Rob Corcoran is a respected figure on the UK folk and Americana scene. His beautifully observed songs are rich in storytelling and Celtic soul, delivered with warmth, honesty and an unmistakable Dublin voice. His songwriting has also caught the attention of Irish folk legend Christy Moore, who has performed Rob’s song “Ringing That Bell” as part of his touring set.
Expect an atmospheric evening of captivating songwriting, lyrical storytelling and two artists with very different but perfectly complementary musical worlds.
Featuring - Bity Booker
With her unique songwriting style Bity Booker weaves elements of folk, pop and psychedelic whimsy to create brilliant self-penned songs.
Rob Corcoran
'It’s hard to categorize London based Dubliner Rob Corcoran’s music by genre. He sings and he writes songs but he's not the typical singer-songwriter. He is clearly influenced by vintage American and Irish folk but he’s in no way a folk singer in the traditional sense. He cites his father’s old vinyl collection which included the likes of Bob Dylan, Makem and Clancy and Simon and Garfunkel as the early gateway to a life long fascination with songs, and his later obsession with the lyrics of people like Townes Van Zandt and Leonard Cohen as providing him with the tools to explore the inner, often shadowy core of things.
Those influences are in there, there’s no doubt, some more obviously than others, but Rob's music is something very distinctive. The voice is his own. The turn of phrase is very much his own.
Here are songs, well-crafted and instantly engaging, notable for lyrics that are direct, honest, conversational and at times dark, made to soar by Rob’s soulful and distinctive vocals and the added musical finesse of multi-instrumentalist collaborators Lyle Zimmerman (mandolin, bouzouki and uke-bass) and Barbara Bartz (violin and accordion) and featuring some guest vocals by Danni Nicholls.'
