Ian K Brown performs at Echo Festival

Performance 7.15 pm with Ian K Brown

He will play a selection of songs from his forthcoming show at Broadstairs Folk Week entitled A Man of Kent and the Scottish Border Concert. This will cover a journey from discovering folk music as a teenager to living on the Northumberland–Cumbrian border. Ian’s journey has been shaped by tradition and place. This show shares the stories behind his original songs, inspired by life in the Scottish border region, with subtle references to his early years in Kent. Alongside these, Ian will perform a selection of well-loved songs from the North, celebrating the region’s rich musical heritage

Here is a bit about me.

Ian K Brown is a Northumberland based singer/songwriter guitarist.

I am busy musician who plays festivals in summer and a wide range of gigs and other musical endeavours through the winter.

I have been playing solo since 2012 when prior to that I was with Newcastle’s Tenth Avenue Band playing at festivals in England, Ireland and Germany.I have three albums of songs, ‘Dancing with Shadows’ – produced by Rick Kemp (Steeleye Span’s Bass man) in 2001, ‘Rough Around the Edges’ – 2008 and most recently ‘One Voice One Guitar’ – 2018. They can probably be described as being in the contemporary folk genre.

Over the last few years I have been part of many festivals including Broadstairs Folk Week, Maddy Prior’s Forgotten Lands festival, Baafest, The Feel Good Festival, Redefest, Waterfoot Wakes, The Mighty Dubfest, The Dinky Dubfest, Haltwhistle Walking festival, Alston Live, Woolfest,The Moffat Eagle Festival, Tynedale Beer Festival, Cumberlandia , Greenside Festival, The Hadrian’s Wall festival and the Allen Valleys Folk Festival.

At many of these festivals I do a combination of performance, ukulele workshops and MCing stages – sometimes all three.
