TOM EVANS & JACK
HOGSDEN
Tom and Jack grew up in families with a long involvement
with folk music in Sussex.
Tom’s Dad is a regular contributor to local sessions and his
multi-instrumentalist Mum, Sue, is a pivotal member of the famous Twagger band.
He too can turn his hand to a variety of instruments and has been playing in
public since he was 11.
Jack’s parents, Becky
Martin and Leon Hogsden, are steeped in Sussex traditions. Excellent musicians
and singers, they are integral to the activities of Ditchling Morris.
It’s
unsurprising, therefore, that their repertoire comprises mostly English songs
and tunes as well as those of Ireland, Scotland and North America.
DOM PRAG
Having already
forged a reputation as an insightful lyricist in his native Hampshire, Dom has been turning heads on the
Brighton music scene of late. Hearing
his father playing traditional Scottish music he was later influenced by the
songs of the Durham miners in a documentary he encountered during his film
studies.
For him the creative
process begin as poems but his captivating melodies transform them in a most
felicitous way.
