On the phone with Newton Faulkner

Wyvern Theatre

When Newton Faulkner emerged in 2007 he was the fleet-fingered prince of sparkling guitar pop. The 22-year old kid from Surrey had a million-selling, Number One hit with his debut album 'Hand Built By Robots'. Singles 'Dream Catch Me' and 'I Need Something' were the festival sound of the Summer. As were his innovative covers of Massive Attack’s 'Teardrop' and the theme from Spongebob Squarepants. In August 2013, Faulkner released his fourth album, 'Studio Zoo', which was recorded while being streamed live on the internet. The Wyvern Theatre’s Marketing Manager recently spoke to this headline act from Wychwood Festival about Spongebob Squarepants and performing live on stage. Wychwood, The Family Festival, returns to Cheltenham Racecourse for its 10th Birthday in 2014 over the weekend of 30th May – 1st June. The Wyvern Theatre is an official ticket partner to Wychwood Festival. Day and weekend tickets are now on sale at swindontheatres.co.uk
