Robyn Hithcock is confirmed for the trio of shows, with other guests to be announced. Londod already has folk legend Martin Carthy as well as Natasha Marsh and Max Eastley set to appear.

Speaking about his latest release The Spinning Top, Coxon decribes it as: “Mainly an acoustic journey although there is, of course, some explosive electric guitar action. I wanted to show how exciting acoustic instruments can be, how dynamic and rich and heart-thumpingly raw they can sound at a time when acoustic music seems either too cute or too soppy. Obvious influences here are the amazing Martin Carthy, the late, great Davey Graham and the late, great John Martyn”.
