SHROPSHIRE’S answer to Frank Turner, Paul Henshaw returns to The Cove armed with his powerful brand of acoustic rock ’n’ roll folk punk.

Following last year’s quality gig, the singer-songwriter is back for more in Hope Cove on Saturday, March 12.

He’s a gig junkie, playing from the far-flung reaches of Wisconsin coffee houses and beach festivals to sweaty punk gigs in Eastern Europe and China and of course the length and breadth of his beloved UK.

Also hailed as a cross between Billy Bragg and Tom Robinson for passion and meaning, he wears his heart on his sleeve – winning over crowds during support slots for Newton Faulkner, John Otway, Attila the Stockbroker and The Blockheads.

Expect to get truly sucked in.

Live from 9.30pm, admission is free.

Music Meal Deals will once again be in operation – booking is advised.
