Acclaimed singer songwriter and unique Australian performer William Crighton embarks on his first headline solo tour throughout April and May 2019. Combining traditional sounds with unexpected experimentation he has released two albums since 2016, the latest of which ‘Empire’ was labelled by Dave Faulkner of the Hoodoo Gurus as ‘The best album of 2018, local or international’. He has toured extensively throughout Australia, Europe, UK, Canada and the US over the last two years and is rapidly building a reputation as a must see artist.
On this tour he will be playing songs from both albums as well as new material on a variety of instruments.

William Crighton will be joined by UK artist ‘Beans on Toast’ who is a leading torch in the new wave of UK folk artists. The pair met whilst playing at ‘Boomtown’ in the UK in 2018. These will be very memorable shows.
After more than 10 years in the game, English songwriter Beans on Toast has become something of a cult figure. He’s a hippy, a punk, a poet, a drunk, a die-hard romantic and an eternal optimist. Singing simple songs that tackle big issues. Political protest songs for the modern day, honest and open love songs. Songs that will make you laugh, but also make you think with no holds barred honest lyrics and quick wit.
Grace + Hugh is a musical collaboration between songwriter/performers Grace Hickey and Hugh Scott Murray. For the last 2 years the pair have pushed their little upright piano down country side roads and back alleys, writing a catalogue of contemporary songs influenced by blues, roots and soul music. The pair have just recorded their first album together, featuring co-writes with Don Walker (Cold Chisel) and Bones Hillman (Midnight Oil) and a stellar band of players based between Sydney and Nashville, Tennessee. Grace + Hugh are currently touring their self-titled record to halls and theatres across regional Australia.
They will be playing at Frederickton School of Arts Hall at 3pm on Sunday the 19th of May, and tickets are just $30 per person.
It's BYO drinks and snacks and you can grab a ticket from Fredo Newsagency or online using the link below.

“The word prodigy seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills, he coaxes sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws.” – The Calgary Herald, Canada
