The folk-rock singer is bringing his act to The Old White Hart Inn in Cotton End for the latest Great kNight Folk Club evening on Tuesday, May 3.
With a string of highly-acclaimed solo albums to his name, Steve has been at the top of his game for 40 years prompting cover versions by many leading folk artists including Fairport Convention, Anne Briggs, Wizz Jones, Martin Simpson, Phil Beer, St Agnes Fountain and The Bushwackers.
He is also a natural showman with what New York’s Variety magazine described as ‘one of the funniest of dry stage raps’. His award-winning debut album 'Stroll On' (Gull, 1974) is now widely regarded as a folk-rock classic and his most recent release for Topic Records 'Time and Tide' was described by fROOTS as ‘a modern day masterpiece’.
A former member of The Albion Country Band, Ragged Robin and his own Steve Ashley Band, Steve has also performed orchestral concerts with the legendary arranger, the late Robert Kirby, and occasional concerts with members of Fairport Convention.
Doors for the event, which costs £7, open at 7.30pm. To purchase tickets and for more information call 01604 709990.
