Support Act – Jack Pound Trio
In the past Jack has been compared to various artists such as Big Bill Broonzy, Mark Knofler and Guy Clark. In reality Jack Pound is simply himself and against all prevailing musical trends has established himself as a low key, song writing phenomenon.
A highly skilled guitarist and songwriter, his bluesy, often quirky style is particularly appreciated by discerning literary audiences…whilst the rest of us just enjoy the music.
John Rice, Poet – South East Arts
A quirky, sophisticated, constantly innovative original with a veritable soundtrack to a cinema of songs.
Pete Brown- Annexe Music
Funny, serious, sometimes perplexing, sometimes clear. His astonishing individual style stretches across all manner of parameters.
Colin Irwin. Mojo
