A SONGWRITER will show off beautiful melodies with poignant lyrics when he takes to the stage in Maldon.

Singer and guitarist Huw Williams will be performing a range of his tender and humourous songs which observe human behaviour.

The star, who is making a return to the town after several years away, will be showcasing his music at the Blue Boar Hotel, in Sliver Street, on Sunday, October 14, from 7.30pm.

Audiences are set to be wowed by his songs during the special show.

Described as an underrated songwriter, Huw started his career as a singer and songwriter.

He toured and recorded as part of the duo Huw and Tony Williams.

Their songs went on to covered by many other artists in the USA and Europe, including Fairport Convention whose version of Summer Before the War and Simon Nicol’s Rosemary’s Sister brought him to a much wider audience.

He has also worked as a broadcaster producing and presenting programs for BBC in the UK.

Folk Wales accurately sums his performance up as ‘well-crafted and finely-honed songs, each one an absolute belter. Many songwriters could take a lesson from his brilliant chord progressions and his thoughtful and entertaining lyrics, but his magic touch just about seals it and cajoles the listening public to come back for more – and more and more. All this along with dry and hilarious humour.’

Nicola Esson, from organisers, macTheatre said they were looking forward to welcoming Huw back to the town this weekend.

She said: “Huw Williams is a wonderful orator and communicator, his openness with his audience encourages instant engagement and he’s a fabulous guitarist too.

“We’re very much looking forward to welcoming him back to Maldon after several years.

“It’s really a one-off chance to experience this brilliant performer.
