Acoustic Night with Wildwood Jack

Sat 26 Dec 2015, 8 pm
Hanoi Social Club

From Hanoi Social Club:

Melodic songs with guitar and ukulele fingerstyle sophistication drawing influences from folk, country and world music.

Wildwood Jack are the acoustic duo Adam Piggott and Jayne Freeman, brought together by a love of music when they first met in 1991 at Hull University and travelling on musical journeys ever since.

Their sound is a harmonious blend of fingerstyle guitar and ukulele and has been described as a mix of Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Nanci Griffith and Ry Cooder. Memorable live shows can feature anything from traditional songs and tunes to a reworked punk classic or even Pink Floyds’ “Shine on You Crazy Diamond”.

They released their first album ‘Anytime Now’ in 2011 on the Big Village Records Label under their own names. R2 Magazine described it as “quality songwriting, engaging, uplifting and filled with memorable melodies” as well as “a perfect summer soundtrack”. Their second album “The Firefly and the Half Diamond” followed a year later, FATEA Showcase said: “This is an album full of great songs”, Shire Folk said: “Melodic and Sophisticated”, and Netrythms described it as “genuinely uplifting” with “intensely adept acoustic guitar stylings”.

Adam says: “Everything we do is about maximising the sound and capabilities of the acoustic guitar and ukulele together when we play live. Our style has evolved from playing and experimenting over the years with a lot of influence from folk, country, blues and jazz”.
