Who is Newton Faulkner

Newton Faulkner

Faulkner began playing guitar at the age of 11-12 with session guitarist Bob "crazy guy" Cranham and also attended the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, where he spent 2 years gaining both diploma and the higher diploma award under the tutelage of Eric Roche.

His first band was a Green Day cover band, in which he played bass guitar. His experience on the stage grew as he formed Half a Guy, a funk rock group with a quirky edge, with fellow band mates Matt Buchanan, Dave Elvy and Nicola Crawshaw. Half a Guy recorded two demo CDs and managed 2 years before splitting. He then spent time recording and gigging under the name Newton Battenberg Faulkner, where he played the Lapagestock festival on the 11th June 2005.

Recent appearances on BBC Radio 2 as well as a publishing deal with Peermusic UK compelled the Independent on Sunday to tell its readers to "Watch this face." [1] Faulkner performed at the 2006 South by Southwest music festival and at Guilfest 2007.

2008 Deluxe two disc (CD + PAL/Region 0 DVD) edition features the original double platinum-selling album with bonus tracks plus a DVD showcasing Newton's 16 song live performance at the Roundhouse in Spring '08. Hand Built By Robots is the 2007 debut album by one of the most highly touted DIY-type major artist talents in the UK. Faulkner's laidback scat singing and gutsy holler, shuffling beats, Blues riffs, intelligent/tongue-in-cheek lyrics and string tapping are just some of reasons why audiences seem to light to him so quickly. His live performance style is well honed and instantly endears him to his ever-expanding audience. Among the songs here are 'I Need Something' and 'Dream Catch Me' as well as his daring cover of Massive Attack's 'Teardrop'. Sony/BMG. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.
