UFO

Newton Faulkner

Ugly Truth

WE SAY

Since we last featured Newton Faulkner further radio support has come from Dermot O'Leary and Newton had a strong presence at SXSW back in March. We caught him live at Jo Whiley's Little Noise sessions at the Union Chapel this week; he definitely won over new fans with an excellent cover of Massive Attack's Teardrop, which appears on his new EP. The witty, endearing UFO is the lead track. When we first featured him over a year ago we wrote that his music had "elements of Jack Johnson". It's no surprise then that he has built a sizable following in the South West coast's surfing community after high profile support slots with Donavon Frankenreiter. He is currently recording his debut album for release next year. London Gig: 11 December Water Rats WC1
