Folk singer-songwriter Charlie Noordewier is set to headline his first full band performance in Cornwall next Friday, October 10th, at Newquay’s Dead Famous. Known for his introspective lyrics and captivating live shows, Noordewier’s appearance marks a significant moment for the burgeoning folk scene in the region.
Noordewier’s Rising Star
Growing up on the fringes of Devon’s Dartmoor, Charlie Noordewier has steadily built a reputation for his compelling songwriting and dynamic stage presence. His music, often described as a blend of life’s tougher realities and moments of gentle escape, is characterized by virtuosic guitar work and strong band synergy. This upcoming show follows a period of significant activity for Noordewier, including the release of his latest single, “Little Miss Sunshine,” and a notable supporting slot for Sam Fender at a massive 40,000-capacity event in Manchester.
A Promising Line-Up
Joining Noordewier on stage will be Dermot Henry, a 22-year-old singer-songwriter whose music artfully combines storytelling with emotional depth and a touch of wit. Henry’s experiences, including a year spent performing in Paris, have shaped his lyrical inspirations, drawing from friendships, relationships, art, culture, history, and film. Having garnered an online following for his candid style, he has also toured Europe supporting the folk-pop band Kingfishr, establishing himself as a distinctive voice in the UK’s alternative folk landscape.
Local Promoters See Big Futures
Local promoters SW1 Productions, in collaboration with Communion One, are championing this Newquay event, viewing it as a pivotal showcase for two artists they believe are on the cusp of major success. Katy Barnes of SW1 Productions expressed her excitement, drawing parallels to the early days of artists like George Ezra and Sam Fender playing smaller Cornish venues. “It’s exciting to work with artists from the ground up,” Barnes stated, “and we are sure that Charlie Noordewier and Dermot Henry are two names that in years to come we will be remembering when they played our small Newquay show!”
