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! You can watch videos on the demo
