- Friday 12 September - Alex Hart -
Described by BBC Radio 2 presenter Mark Radcliffe as "the Stevie Nicks of Folk". The south-west based singer/songwriter Alex Hart has just released 'VISIONS' her most exciting and anticipated album to date.
At 18 Alex was noticed by producer Neil Stainton who honed her talent, worked with her during her early career and co-wrote and recorded her debut album 'On This Day'. Alex also worked closely with musician and songwriter Barney Dine from Torbay with whom she co-wrote many songs from this album, songs afterwards and gigged extensively. During this time, she was able to grow as a musician and perfect her craft.
Following the success of Alex's debut album, her voice and musicianship caught the eye of legendary Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre, who asked Alex to be a part of his band as a musician and vocalist for their European and international tour dates. Alex has performed and toured all over the UK/Europe with the band and has embarked on many international US tours.
