Paul Liddell

One of the country's hardest-working troubadours will be showing why he's in such demand on the live acoustic circuit when he arrives in Howden next week.

Sunderland singer-songwriter Paul Liddell will play Howden Shire Hall, on Saturday, February 25, as part of the new Howden Live season of shows.

Liddell has won rave reviews for his latest album, the independently released A Lighthouse Keeper's Diary and is best known to East Yorkshire audiences for a well-received performance on the Beverley Folk Festival main stage.

A spokesman for Howden Live said Paul could be relied on to produce a night of spell-binding acoustic folk.

He said: "Paul's singularly unique voice and unpretentious delivery combine with the use of live sampling, guitar percussion and layered vocal harmonies to provide a great platform for his wonderful songs to shine."

Where & when: Howden Shire Hall, Market Square, Howden, on Saturday, February 25. Tickets £8. Call 01430 431535. Visit www.howden-live.com
