Terence Blacker


WHAT I DO
I write and sing songs about the way we live now, and play them on the guitar or ukulele. I have performed shows of songs and stories at venues from the Hay Festival to the Edinburgh Fringe, from from folk clubs to London’s Crazy Coqs cabaret bar.

I have also written, presented and played in Taboo-Be-Do!, a two-part BBC Radio 4 documentary about politically incorrect songs, and once gave a performance of Noel Coward’s ‘There Are Bad Times Just Around the Corner’ for The World At One.

My latest show, The Shock of the Old, a musical celebration and exploration of age in the 21st century, has been touring theatres since 2022.

I have released five CDs of my songs. My 2020 album Playing For Time was selected by the Sunday Times as one of its Top Hundred Albums of the Year. My most recent album is Meanwhile...(2022).

‘Terence Blacker is a one-off... A hugely popular performer in folk clubs, his songs range from the tender to the satirical, and are always written with wit.’     Folk London

'We need cheering up right now and this singer-songwriter, sometimes tender, sometimes sardonic, is just the ticket.'    Sunday Times

'Clever, engaging, urbane... It’s a real pleasure to listen to such a well-crafted, thoughtful and essentially delightful album.’   R ‘n’ R Magazine
