Organisers of Driffield's popular Moonbeams' event announce jam packed programme
POPULAR Driffield acoustic night Moonbeams has unveiled a jam packed programme for the year ahead starting with up and coming North Eastern singer songwriter Paul Liddell.
Paul could already be considered a veteran of the acoustic music world having released two solo albums and an EP with his band Delphians.
But he told the Driffield Times he always looks forward to playing in the town as "the people are great" and "there is always a great atmosphere."
His second album A Lighthouse Keeper's Diary was released on his own label 'Regulus Music' and was distributed in stores around the UK by Universal/Absolute.
Paul, who hails from near Sunderland, is also an experienced live performer having toured extensively around the UK, including appearances at Radio One's Big Day Out and the Beverley Folk Festival, as well as appearing at venues in the United States. While there Paul performed on a television show filmed in Time Warner studios in Hollywood, and got his song 'Brighter Lights' placed on a nationally distributed and TV advertised folk compilation CD.
Paul's songwriting and performance have been recognised throughout the industry, claiming awards for 'Best Male Artist' at the International Acoustic Music Awards, a finalists place at the Independent Music Awards, and a winning place in the International Songwriting Competition '07.
2008 saw Paul working with acclaimed film director Tony Kaye on some music for his upcoming film project 'Black Water Transit'. Most recently Paul has signed a recording contract with London based label 360 degree music with his new EP called Help Yourself Float due out on March 20.
Paul will be headlining the first Moonbeams Acoustic gig of 2010 at the Bell Hotel, Market Place on January 29. Tickets cost 6 on the door.
Other acts secured for the year ahead include Anna Shannon, Cole Stacey, Kris Drever, with support from Anna Massie, and Boo Hewerdine. The Moonbeams Wold Top Festival will also return to Wold Newton on July 9 and 10. For further information and updates about all of these forthcoming events keep checking back with Sara's Scene.
