This week we return with an extra special
night our last Concert Showcase of the year featuring the ever-popular Dave Sutherland. Dave has been one of our favourite performers
over the years at the Acoustic Club and we are delighted that he is coming to
us this week. It is a very busy week for Dave as he launches his latest album
at the legendary Blackheath Halls on Saturday 17th October. |

Dave
is a London based Americana singer-songwriter with nudges towards the Country
Music genre. So much so, he was awarded ‘UK Male Country Singer of the
Year’ at The UK Country Music Awards 2024. An accomplished performer
filled with raw energy and emotion, Dave’s music speaks of life, love and
London with the eye of an artist and the ear of a poet. His fingerstyle
guitar, melodic vocal and engaging stage presence have cemented his place
among the leading artists of the UK Americana scene. Bill Tarran will open the music at 8.00 pm
with some new songs. Dave Sutherland will play two separate sets from 8.30
until 9.10 and 9.20 to 10.00 which will give ample opportunity to hear the
songs from his new album. |

Just
Like A Black And White Film, Dave’s sixth studio album, marks
Dave’s most emotionally honest and accomplished album to date. ‘Just Like A
Black and White Film’ is a deeply cinematic collection of songs that unfolds
like a modern rock opera. All 11 songs are written by Dave and come from a
very real place, inspired by people, moments and memories that have shaped
his life. Whilst the songs are very personal, they are rooted in experiences
and emotions that connect us all. The album is produced by Martin Levan at
Red Kite Studio and released through One Eyed Man. It features Dave on vocals
and guitar, Holly Carter on pedal steel and guitars, Owain Hughes on piano
and organs, Tim Harries on bass and Jim Kimberley on drums, with guest
musicians Frank Mead, Emma Thornett, Tom Kimber, Bryony Sier and Adam Luke
Thomas. Just
Like A Black And White Film promises to take you on an emotional journey of
love, loss, hope and heartbreak, unfolding with all the timeless beauty of a
black and white film. It is a given that copies of the album will be available
on the evening. |
