British singer/songwriter, Newton was one of the true artist breakthrough success stories of 2008 after his debut album, Hand Built By Robots, achieved platinum status and went to number 5 in the charts. Faulkners 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.
