Lowther’s Folk Club with Danny Bradley & Steve Canavan

Danny Bradley and Steve Canavan join us for this month's Folk Club in The Chapman Studio.

Danny Bradley
Winner of the Liverpool Acoustic Judges’ Award 2021, Danny is a finger-style guitarist and songwriter who has opened for Martin Carthy, Tony McManus, Jon Gomm, and Jeffrey Foucault. He is touring with Fairport Convention in 2025 as the opening act on their Winter Tour.

Danny’s debut solo album, 'Small Talk Songs', is available now. Danny recorded the album himself, in his Liverpool city centre flat, with three microphones. Throughout the recording process, he opened the door to his little fifth-floor balcony, so that the songs of the Scouse seagulls overhead could be heard lilting quietly in the background of this airy, richly recorded acoustic album.

Steve Canavan
Steve Canavan has been on the Lancashire folk scene for the past decade, and performs his own songs - sometimes serious, often not. Steve also performs the songs of his dad, Mike, a folk singer of renown in the 1970s whose song Knocker Upper Man is still performed at folk clubs around the UK.

Steve lives on the Fylde and for many years ran the popular St Annes Folk club.
