Welcome
to the web site of Bernard Hoskin, acoustic roots
singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from
Cambridge, England. I am
an experienced performer and live play a mixture of
original songs, traditional folk and covers on 6 and
12 string guitar and mandola.
There is a diverse range of influences that go to create
my distinctive and original sound which is based upon
English songwriting and world music rhythms as well as
the more common folk, country and blues styles.
I have opened for people such as Bert Jansch, Martin
Carthy, Harvey Andrews, John Renbourn and Jacqui McShee,
Julie Felix, Clive Gregson, Phil Beer, Andy Irvine, The
Oysterband, Peter Knight's Gigspanner, Johnny Dickinson,
Tim Edey, O’Hooley and Tidow, Josienne Clarke & Ben
Walker, Blazin' Fiddles, Ninebarrow, Wild Willy Barrett,
Steve Tilston, Heidi Talbot and many more! If you are interested in
booking me for your event you can watch videos on the
demo page
Here's
my
new collection of songs, Lighthouse Keeper. You can listen to all the
tracks here for free. For the best sound quality you can
buy all 17 tracks for £6 from Bandcamp.
Here's
the full show from my Facebook Live performance on 29
April 2020.
HOUSE
CONCERTS
Have
you
ever thought of hosting a concert in your own
home? The format is simple - you gather some
friends in your living room and I will give you
an intimate, unplugged concert performance. This
kind of evening is a lot of fun and you don't
need a big audience to make it worthwhile. Send
me an email!
Here's a link to more information on how to host
a house concert: Click here

Many
thanks to Chris Keniger for organising the event
and shooting the video.
