3 Troubadours. With Paul ‘Silky’ White, Chris Tavener and Dave Vermond. Three incredible singer songwriters share their songs, their stories, and a stage.

SILKY

Paul ‘Silky’ White is a stand-up comedian, musician, songwriter and much more. He is best known at Seven Arts for his long running monthly stand-up comedy night, Silky and Friends; and here we see him flex his musical talents with a selection of his own original songs and a generous sprinkle of his wit and fine humour.

“Far better guitar playing than is required for a comedy show.” — Stewart Lee

“Wonderful stand-up, beautiful singer.” — Fred Mac

Aulay

“Not only is he funnier than me, but he is also better at the guitar. He, unlike me, is a fully rounded human being, and I am riddled with poisonous envy. See him if you must.” — Boo Hewerdine

CHRIS TAVENER

Chris Tavener is a satirical singer-songwriter from Cheshire. A huge talent in the world of witty rock music, Tavener is a 5-star reviewed act at the Edinburgh Fringe and has written songs that have been sung by household names, including Sir Ian McKellen. He’s been a tour support for the likes of Kyle Gass (Tenacious D), Super Hans (Peep Show), Ed Tudor Pole and John Otway; with his whimsical storytelling songs featured on BBC 6 Music and at Glastonbury Festival.
