Newton Faulkner to Visit

September 21, 2010

Brit-nominated, chart-topping singer /songwriter Newton Faulkner is set to play a concert in Shetland in November as part of a very short Highlands and Islands tour. The gig will take place in the Clickimin Centre Bowls Hall on Thursday 11th November 2010.

Faulkner is best know for chart topping albums such as 'Hand Built by Robots' (2007) - which soared to No 1 in the official charts - and 'Rebuilt by Humans' (2009) which reached No 3 on release, plus the single 'Dream Catch Me' which reached No 7 on the singles charts in 2007.

Davie Gardner, manager of 'Atlantic Edge Music Services', who are promoting the Shetland gig in conjunction with Inverness based events company 'Beyond Promotions', said he was delighted that artists of the quality of Newton Faulkner continually expressed a desire to play places like Shetland. "Shetland's had its fair share of great names in this respect over the years, but it's always a real thrill when another 'big name' wants to follow in those footsteps and do a gig in the isles" said Davie. "There appears to be a real and significant buzz about Newton's visit, so that bodes well for a great night and an exceptional concert" he said.

Tickets for the gig go on sale from High Level Music in Lerwick on Saturday 25th September at 9am priced £20. They can also be obtained from Seetickets on 0871 230 2360 or at www.seetickets.com or alternatively from Ticketmaster on 0844 277 4321 or at www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
