Newton Faulkner

Having sold over 1.5 million records, with 180 million streams making him one of the UK’s most successful singer-songwriters this millennium, Newton Faulkner returns to the Cheese and Grain to headline Frome Festival 2023.

Newton Faulkner is a man in motion. Across the songwriter’s freewheeling fifteen-year career, the sole constant has been his urge to tear down what came before, shed his creative skin and outrun industry dogma. Already, that rebel spirit has seen Faulkner’s music pinball from the outer-limits acoustic sorcery of 2007’s UK#1 debut, Hand Built By Robots, through an acclaimed catalogue that takes in rock, pop, folk, soul and beyond.
