Fresh from taking the stage with Steve Knightley & Friends at the The Sidmouth Folk Festival, we are delighted to have Chris returning to 'Music In The Malthouse' for a solo gig.
The main feature in the programme will be 'Cartography' - a chronological journey through song and narrative of our relationship to the land on which we live - including landowners and commoners, heaths and allotments, enclosure acts and rights (or the lack of them), Dartmoor landowners and exuberant West Country miners.
Featuring renowned original songs including 'Hallows' Eve', 'The Old Lych Way', 'Katrina', 'The Terror' and one or two surprises.
Chris is a Topsham-based songwriter, composer, arranger, lyricist and multi-instrumentalist who plays the guitar, 'cello, piano, piano accordion & mandocello.
"Chris Hoban... expresses, with musical skill and poetic originality, the beauty and diversity of the whole of England." (Dame Judith Weir, Master of the King's Music 2014-24)
