We are really excited to welcome Damien Barber to Watford Folk Club on September 19th as our first guest of the new season.
Damien is a stylish and distinctive singer, either a capella or accompanied on guitar or concertina and is one of the most respected folk performers in the UK.
He is the epitome of a traditional folk singer, having learnt his trade directly from some most respected singers in the UK such as Peter Bellamy and Walter Pardon, and brings real authenticity to his performances. Though he has now resided for some time in West Yorkshire, his roots remain firmly planted in his beloved East Anglia.
