My music library has been in need of a vital update for a few months now and the inspiration to envigorate my library came through discovering a BBC Radio 1: Live Lounge cover by the one and only Newton Faulkner.
I first seen Newton Faulkner preforming at one of Ireland’s largest festivals Oxegen many years back. I was never a huge fan of Newton, just hearing his music on the radio but seeing the man play live was instantly captivating and I’ve been hooked since. A one man and his guitar kind of artist that I have no doubt has influenced the likes of Ed Sheeran and many other artists.
Both Newton Faulkner and Edsheeran have been two of the best live gigs I have ever seen. They both take completel contrl of the stage and audience keeping you mesmorised for the entire time they own the stage.
So from this I want to share the link that inspired this blog, which shows Newton Faulkner covering Maroon 5‘s newest single Payphone.
Listen. Watch. Enjoy.
