NIKKI ROUS + QUANTUM PENGUIN + TWO BLANK PAGES

Join us for an unforgettable evening at Albert’s Shed in Shrewsbury on Wednesday, April 2nd, as we showcase the mesmerizing talents of three original acts at Albert’s Songwriters Showcase!

NIKKI ROUS

Nikki Rous is no stranger to performing. She first stepped onto a stage at the age of 5 and trained as a dancer for many years. Over the course of her childhood and teenage years she travelled the dance festivals and performed at countless shows around the UK. When she turned 17 Nikki won a place at one of the UK’s most prestigious stage schools and around the same time she bought herself a guitar and started teaching herself to play. She discovered artists such as Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Tori Amos, Sinead O’ Connor, Skunk Anansie, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Radiohead, PJ Harvey, Portishead, Bjork, Alanis Morissette and many more musicians that inspire her still to this day.

TWO BLANK PAGES

Two Blank Pages are a UK-based alt-folk band formed in 2012 by lifelong friends Antony Titley, Jamie Rushworth, and Fergus McKeown. Drawing on each member’s diverse favourite genres, their music blends folk and country with a unique contemporary twist.

QUANTUM PENGUIN

Matt Woolley is a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter from Shropshire who plays under the name of Quantum Penguin.
His love of storytelling through song blended with driving instrumentals means his set is one minute lilting and filled with emotion and the next joyfully energetic with soaring Fiddle, Guitar or Bouzouki.
