Faulkner
Looking like an eco-warrior, playing guitar like an angel, Newton Faulkner has strummed, tapped and twiddled his way to the top of the charts with his brand of smooth, folksy pop. Honing his finger picking skills at the Academy of Contemporary Music under the tutelage of Eric Roche, Faulkner started playing Green Day covers with friends before joining short-lived funk-rock band Half A Guy. As an acoustic solo artist, his fame built through support slots with James Morrison, Paolo Nutini and John Mayer, before Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley championed his second single Dream Catch Me, helping it to Number 7 in the UK. Debut album Hand Built By Robots (2007) topped the charts and his sense of fun has resulted in live covers of everything from 2 Unlimited, Bohemian Rhapsody and the theme tune to the Sponge Bob Square Pants cartoon; a cover of Massive Attack's Teardrop was his fourth single. Second album Rebuilt By Humans (2009) reached Number 3 in the UK backed by hit singles If This Is It and With And Without.
