Christopher Crompton & Julie Disney |
|
Christopher Crompton is a singer-songwriter, musician, writer and poet from the West Midlands of England. His work is created from a diverse palette of influences that cross genres and cultures. His distinctive voice and guitar playing draw these threads together into a unique sound and presentation. The subjects he addresses are equally heterogeneous, from the personal to the political, from the Stoic to the spiritual, from the everyday to the extraordinary. In every corner of experience, Christopher seeks the sensibilities that render the individual universal. His words and music set out to make you feel something. They challenge but carry compassion. They empathise, lament, celebrate and encourage. Julia Disney is a UK-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger. Strong folk influences combined with classical training shape her unique sound. With a timelessly expressive voice that has been likened to the great Sandy Denny and Joni Mitchell, Julia captivates audiences with her passion and warmth. Her 2025 solo album, ‘Underneath That Tree’ is carefully collated from a lifetime of songwriting. It spans the breadth of human experience from grief and loss to love, self-discovery and empowerment. Julia’s warm and layered voice, string and piano arrangements lead us through an immersively soothing world. This album leaves us with a lingering sense of hope and reassurance amidst the trials of life. Tonight they combine to provide what will be a truly great evening. |
