An Irish folk singer is bringing his personal and reflective style of songwriting to the Isle of Wight next month as part of a UK-wide tour. John Blek, from Cork, will return to Medina Bookshop in Cowes on Saturday, September 21, having last performed in 2022. Tickets are available HERE: https://medinabookshop.
com/event/john-blek-byob John will play songs from his ninth studio album, Cheer Up, which will be released on Friday, September 6 by the Bigger River Recording Co. Among the songs John will perform will be his newest single, Country Mile, which features the Dutch group Woolf and arrangements by Dresden-based musicians, Broken Strings. Speaking about the collaboration for his latest single, John said: “I played some shows with Woolf in the Netherlands, and we immediately clicked.
The first time I heard them sing together, I knew I wanted to work with them and hear their voices add a new depth to my own songs.” Medina Bookshop recommends bringing your own refreshments.
