Dan Whitehouse: Dan Whitehouse is an award-winning UK artist living between Tokyo and Wolverhampton - a singer-songwriter, composer, producer, spoken word performer and community workshop leader, renowned for his reflective, genre-defying artistry. Born in the heart of the Black Country, the home of heavy metal, Dan’s music is rooted in pop and rock sensibilities and embraces the living poetry of spoken word. “I write folk songs, but not folk music,” he says.
Featured on Folk On Foot, his acclaimed albums The Glass Age and Voices From The Cones explore communication in our screen-fixated society, and commemorate the glassmaking communities of Stourbridge. His immersive live show A Night Of Glass weaves story and song into a mesmerising experience, moving audiences with nuanced, crystalline vocals and emotionally rich performances.
Tom Hickox launches his long-awaited third album “The Orchestra of Stories” in a vibrant show with an expanded, all-star orchestral line-up.

This concert will feature arrangements created especially for the evening from Hickox’s two acclaimed existing albums as well as from The Orchestra of Stories, in which he weaves together a rich tapestry of human narratives, brought to life with grand orchestral ambition and intricate detail. Renowned for his celebrated storytelling and rich baritone, Hickox promises a cinematic sweep of a show, brimming with drama and poignancy.
