Lieve muziekvrienden,
The smoke of the house concert with WinterWilson, which took place in our living room last Sunday, is still moving away; Kip Winter and Dave Wilson have only just waved goodbye, the house is spic and span again and we are still enjoying a great evening full of catchy music in a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere. Although this time it was unfortunately not a "full house", it was again a concert that we enjoy looking back on. As usual, you can find under "Foto's" the photos of this concert. And of course here follows the invitation for our next home concert! On Saturday May 25, 2024 we will welcome in our living room Pete Morton. We think he can best be described as a modern protest singer, with his unruly mix of songs about humanism, politics, love, social topics and humor, all from the idiom of folk music tradition. He is a singer/songwriter who feels very involved in the ups and downs of society and the people who live in this world. The style in which he is driven and passionate texts is also called Urban Folk. He is a true "word artist" who puts in his songs not only a message but also a large dose of humor and self-mockery. .jpg)
Although it is always very difficult to compare people with each other, Pete's voice is sometimes compared to those of Cat Stevens by reviewers. His music contains both moody ballads and driven, faster songs, both love songs and almost spoken lyrics, but everything with a catchy depth. We look at this performance very much! Because we - your organizers - have seen Pete Morton in England perform several times and thought it was very good, we are pleased to welcome him for a home concert at Folk At Home. Pete Morton is a songwriter and singer with a wealth of great songs and stage presentation. His shows are dynamic and intense, but remain accessible and humorous. He constantly tours, both solo, using his own material, and with other projects. Started as a street musician in the streets of Europe, he has performed all over the world with his unique style of writing and singing songs. Pete sings from the heart and brings songs that tell fascinating stories from a very unique perspective. With a passionate, powerful voice and sturdy guitar style, traditional songs are often combined with remarkable ease with the current writing style of Pete. His songs are a mixture of humor, politics, love and social comments. Pete has recorded many solo albums with original material and a project album with traditional songs entitled 'Trespass'. Since he discovered the acoustic music scene at the age of sixteen, Pete has been on an never-ending tour as a folk-singer-songwriter. With his powerful melodious voice, the rich stories and his catchy stage presentation, he continues his exuberant talents as a storyteller. While singing about peace, justice, equality and hope, Pete knows how to bring his audience to ecstasy with a playful accessibility. In January 2024 a new collection of songs was released as the successor to his acclaimed album "A Golden Thread". Keep an eye on his website! “Not only unique, but also a revelation.” (The Guardian) “Pete has everything we expect from a singer-songwriter, he is extremely creative, independent, competent, talented and phenomenal unpredictable.” (Mojo Magazine) A text poet who manages to express everything, from very personal to broad social topics.” (R2 Magazine) “As an archivist of human thoughts, and critical observer of our history and progress to the future, he is high at the top with countrymen such as Richard Thompson and Chris Wood.” (Glasgow Herald) “An independent spirit, an old -fashioned troubadour…. He continues his exuberant talents as a storyteller.” (Froots Magazine) As usual, we strive again to sing and make music together in a jam session afterwards, so for those who want: bring your voice and/or instrument again and keep hanging afterwards! So we sincerely hope that you will register again en masse for this Folk At Home party! We hope that we can count on many of you again. Do not hesitate: it will be really good again!
