Simon Kempston, Scottish singer-songwriter, performs on Quadra Island

Simon Kempston, Scottish singer-songwriter, performs on Quadra Island

We are excited to host Simon Kempston, one of Scotland’s very best songwriters’ (The Sunday Herald), a composer and leading finger-style guitarist based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Simon Kempston is performing in the Bayview Room on Thursday June 30th. Doors open for the show at 6:30pm, entrance by donation (suggested $20). This is an amazing opportunity to immerse in this skilled musician’s poetic lyrics & style.

There are very few artists who manage to create a sound on an acoustic guitar which is distinctive, instantly recognizable.  Simon’s complex finger-picking style, which draws from the disparate genres of classical, celtic and blues (amongst others) confirms he is certainly one such artist, his subtle style providing the perfect accompaniment for his rich, powerful and compelling tenor vocals.

His outstanding songs showcase thought-provoking, inspiring lyrics which often sidestep the usual themes of love and attraction, in favour of offering crucial, important political and social commentary.  Fascinations with architecture, travel and English literature have all informed his impressive lyrical style, words which can stand alone as poetry in their own right apart from the music.

Willow for Mother’s Day… dinner & show

Willow for Mother’s Day… dinner & show

Willow are an all-women band loved by all who’ve heard their blended harmonies and multi-instrumental prowess. Sourcing from a wide-range of genres, their performances are highly engaging. From the sounds of Appalachia ringing through gospel and bluegrass tunes to the smokey haze of Blues and Jazz, there is never a dull moment as Willow moves from Reggae and Samba influenced numbers into haunting Eastern European sounds.

This show begins with a two course dinner in Herons which is followed by Willow captivating our hearts from the stage. We’re thrilled to be having this event on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 8.
