Brooks Williams is one of those select few ‘'how on earth does he do it?” artists. He can sing. He can write. And, man oh man, can he play guitar. Cambridge UK-based, Statesboro, Georgia US-born, admired by both listeners and fellow musicians, Brooks Williams has been a leading light on the acoustic music scene for three decades. FATEA says his performances show “the greatest level of true expertise.” Listed as one of the ‘Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists,’ his guitar skills are evident as he effortlessly slides in and out of folk, blues and country. "He was playing Americana before it had been given the name,” says CMP . “How soulful a solo guitarist can be when he has talent, taste and astonishing technique,” writes Blues Revue. Williams left his Georgia home in his late teens and moved to Boston at the height of the 1990’s acoustic music renaissance. He did his apprenticeship in the bars and clubs in New York and New England and cut his teeth supporting artists like Shawn Colvin, Chris Smither, Rory Block, Leo Kottke, Odetta, Billy Bragg and Taj Mahal. His first album, North From Statesboro, caught the attention of The Washington Post and National Public Radio, wh...

Lady Maisery's Big London Sing: 29th - 31st October 2027

Cecil Sharp House · London

We’re very excited to announce our Big London Sing for 2027! Please book your place by buying a 'ticket' here and we will be in touch with a registration form. These courses tend to sell out well in advance so you’re advised to book soon! Big Sings are our signature group singing courses and we run a few every year. The course is focused on big group singing, learning some great harmony songs and enjoying ourselves. This time we’ll be gathering in Cecil Sharp House - the home of folk music in London - located in bustling Camden Town. We’re very excited to fill the place with the joyful sound of you all harmony singing! We invite singers of all abilities to stretch themselves, discover something new, gain more confidence and, most importantly, have a lot of fun. We have been running singing weekends and week-long courses over the past decade and they are incredibly popular. With well-being and a friendly approach at the centre of the weekend, participants should expect to sing lots within the safety and big sound of a group. We never ask anyone to sing on their own and aim for everyone (however experienced or not) to get something out of the workshop. Songs are taught by ear...
