“In the Southside’s Glad Cafe, Henry Parker holds us rapt with superlative guitar-picking and song stories,” - Lenny Helsing Shindig! Magazine

That quote describes an intimate live set of 70’s influenced original songwriting and reimagined traditional folk tunes by the quietly renowned Yorkshire folk guitarist, Henry Parker.

Parker’s two acclaimed solo records, Silent Spring and Lammas Fair, have led him to share stages with the dearly missed folk legends Wizz Jones and Michael Chapman and progressive-rock royalty Soft Machine, placing him firmly in a world where finger-style folk guitar meets psychedelic aspirations.

His collaborative instrumental album with David Ian Roberts, Chasing Light, reached the UK Folk Charts Top 20 and saw the duo perform at FolkEast Festival in 2025, appearing alongside artists such as Steve Tilston and Bridget St John on a stage curated in tribute to the late 60’s and early 70’s folk revival.

Katie Spencer at The Canopy Theatre

KATIE SPENCER – Canopy Theatre, Hungate Church, Beccles Saturday 21 st November 2026 8.00 p.m.

Katie Spencer ‘A fine singer-songwriter, and an excellent guitarist’– Songlines Magazine ★★★★

Katie was born and raised in East Yorkshire and her songwriting, and most notably her guitar playing, stem from a time when the steel-stringed instrument was truly finding its voice. Artists like Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and perhaps most evidently Michael Chapman, flow into her sound, carrying with them the warmth and idealism of the early 70’s folk and songwriter movements.

Katie’s latest album What Love Is was released in October 2025 and is an intimate collection of ten brand-new songs produced by Matt Ingram (Laura Marling, The Staves). It reached #12 in the Official Folk Albums Chart upon release and went on to win “Album of the Year” in FATEA Magazine. Recorded in London’s Urchin Studios and featuring prominent players Giacomo Smith (clarinet), Max Clilverd (pedal steel), Tom Mason (double bass) and Matt Ingram (drums, synth).
