Tony Winn is known and respected on the English acoustic music scene as a songwriter, poet and performer of a high calibre. Inspired by Dylan and the folk revival to start creating original music as a schoolboy, he’s since soaked up an eclectic range of musical influences resulting in an extensive live repertoire and eight album releases.Accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, Tony mixes the touching with the hard-hitting, the poignant with a laugh. He sings about Humankind and its world, reflecting his own oblique views on life as a member of the human race (which he is determined to win!).
Influences are: TOM WAITS , BOB DYLAN, KURT WEILL, MARTIN SIMPSON, LOUDON WAINWRIGHT, THE BEATLES , RANDY NEWMAN, JAKE THAKRAY, SHAKESPEARE, Oh, and loads and loads more…
Many of you will remember that in February 2023 we had Tony as our guest alongside Helen Mulley with whom he often performs, while also working as a solo artist - as he will be on 6th February.
This promises to be a great session! When we saw Tony perform as the support act at Colchester, we chose to buy his albums rather than those sold by the headliner! That says it all - don't miss him.
The first part will start with a number of floor spots (which MUST be pre-booked) followed by Tony's first 45 minute set. After a short interval we'll have one or two more floor spots to warm up, then Tony's second 45 minute set.
Admission £8 — Concessions £7 — Floor spot performers £5
