York, England

Ned Swarbrick is a 16 year old singer/songwriter from York, UK. Over the last couple of years he has been quietly establishing himself on the local music scene with his indie 3-piece The Corsairs.

With his more recent work, he has taken his writing in a different direction, penning a selection of acoustic based songs that reflect his love of both literature and pop culture.

Music is all about discovery...and Ned is the first to admit that he's still finding his feet. He refuses to be tied down to a single genre. This is reflected in his live performances, switching seamlessly between Belle & Sebastian-esque pop numbers and intimate folk tunes more reminiscent Nick Drake.

Over the last couple of months, with the help from some of York's up-and-coming musical talent, he's been recording an album of his new songs. He's hoping to have some tracks to share soon.

Coming up... Nov 28th
