Josienne Clarke

We're delighted to welcome Josienne Clarke to play a gig in the stunning setting of St John's Church, right in the centre of Blackpool. Indie-folk singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer Josienne Clarke is often said to draw on traditional British folk inspirations, but is a thoroughly modern, multifaceted artist who follows her own compass. Blessed with a voice of crystalline beauty and clarity that has been compared to Sandy Denny, her myriad talents translate effortlessly to the live space in performances that are all her own. She has extensive touring experience having been a Rough Trade-signed, Radio 2 Folk Award-winning artist two opposing poles that neatly sum up her inability to be pigeonholed and has also been hand-picked as main tour support for folk legend Richard Thompson. Shes shared a stage with Robert Plant and has written songs for an adaptation of The Snow Queen for the National Theatre,performed by children aged 7-11. The venue is fully accessible for wheelchairs. Refreshments and merchandise will be available to purchase on the night.
