When one of your middle names is Battenberg, you have three choices, become an accountant, become a sociopath or grow ginger dreads and become a soulful acoustic pop/blues/folk singer. Sam Newton Battenberg Faulkner is a terrible accountant and a pacifist, so the choice was easy. Hes on tour. Click here for tickets.
This may not come as a surprise to people who have tickets for his October shows supporting his Rebuilt by Humans Album. However, with a work ethic worthy of the finest accountant, Faulkner has announced his next tour.
He may have done the worlds most pointless cover with his version of Teardrop but Newton Faulkners soulful and heartfelt music have deservedly won him many fans and a BRIT nomination for his last album Hand-Built by Humans.
