Newton Faulkner is an English singer-songwriter known for his percussive style of guitar playing. Faulkner's 2007 album Hand Built By Robots topped the charts and went double platinum and he is currently working on his sixth studio album. Speaking of his new album Faulker comments; One of my main aims was to assemble a set of songs that really work for the later slots at festivals, he says. I wanted to make a record that tapped into the idea of a festival, where you hear all these different strands of music floating in and out of your head. I want to be up there as the sun is setting, and people are starting to let their hair down.Newton Faulkner will be headlining Friday night alongside a host of other acts.
Saturday 8th will be headlined by Fun Lovin Criminals. The band hails from New York City and have performed together for over 20 years.
