Join us for an evening of songs and soundscapes. Doors 6.45, bring your own refreshments.
Cleverley’s boundary-shattering ‘Dream-Folk’ songwriting sits on the cutting edge of modern folk. A true guitar-man, his elaborate alternate tunings, percussive rhythms and ambient sound design flow beneath a visceral lyrical style inspired by the Lo-fi American Greats, Elliott Smith & Sufjan Stevens; a curious tapestry weaved from the hazy psychedelia of the 60s folk revival and the soulful oblivion of 90s Pacific Northwest.
Described as ‘impressive’ (The Telegraph), and ‘haunting’ (The Sunday Times) his collection of award-winning independent releases have earned him a robust and loyal, grassroots following throughout his seven years touring the New British Folk Scene. From the fairy-light intimacy of concert venues, to the stages of world-renowned festivals, his outstanding musicianship and warm delivery combine to underpin the infectious draw of his unique song-writing prowess. With a visceral lyrical style explores the place of acoustic-driven music within the 21st Century emotional landscape. Shining an honest light on diverse, arresting themes from pervasive artificial intelligence to disquieting climate emergency, it is no wonder Folk Radio UK have called him “One of the most vital voices of his generation.” Powered by a strong social conscience, his music serves as a vehicle for exploring constructive, meaningful change.
