<p>*FREE ENTRY*</p>
<p>Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/208041009281736/<span id="more-1029"></span></p>
<p>Corneilius, of Small World Solar Stage renown, will introduce a full evening of entertainment featuring MOJO New Voice Competition finalist Nathan Ball along with a few carefully chosen open mic slots. Frequently compared to folk legends such as Nick Drake, John Martyn and Cat Stevens, Nathan naturally creates his own unique sound – a blend of poetic insightful and at times biting lyrics matched with a powerful and distinctive voice and a rarely excelled captivating guitar style.</p>
<p>Billed as the Finest Acoustic Music from The Best Small Festivals and hosted in the warmth of a large living room, open fire and garden with a festival marquee, the evening promises to offer a little haven of acoustic loveliness parceled between the madness of Christmas &amp; New Year!</p>

<p>Zu Studios, Lewes<span id="more-1018"></span></p>
<p>Two accomplished singer/songwriters with acoustic guitars and a  passion for truthful heartfelt songs, Carrie Tree and Nathan Ball met on  the UK Summer festival circuit several years ago. They have since found  themselves invited to play at the same venues on the same stages, where  they have enjoyed supporting each other, watching each other grow and  occasionally accompanying one other on stage…</p>
<p>With summer over, autumn passing and winter creeping round the corner  they have decided to come together to create a handful of relaxed,  intimate and cosy evenings of acoustic music. These one-off gigs will  see them sharing the stage for the full evening, passing the guitar  between them as they inspire each other to bring their strongest songs  to the night, once again accompanying one other as they have so enjoyed  on festival summer evenings passed.</p>
<p>Join them for what promises to be a very memorable, soul comforting, Winter Warmer of an evening…</p>
