Jenna Witts at Ely Folk Club - At the age of twenty-one, singer-songwriter Jenna already has a wealth of recording and touring experience behind her. Seven years ago she co-wrote the haunting 'Seven Days' - one of the highlights of 'Show of Hands' 'Country Life' CD. Then with Steve Knightley and Mercury prize nominee, Seth Lakeman, she recorded 'Western Approaches'. This led to a successful nation wide tour in 2004. In 2007 she appeared at The Royal Albert Hall as a special guest for a sell-out Show of Hands concert. In the same year, Jenna recorded her debut solo album 'Barefoot and Eager'. A 10 track album produced by Steve Knightley and recorded by Phil Beer. It was listed in the top ten acoustic albums of 2007 in the Financial Times. She has toured this album on three nation-wide tours supporting Steve Knightley and has another one coming up in 2010. On this tour she will be showcasing her new material that is currently being recorded onto a new album which is being produced by Steve Knightley and Mark Tucker. Jenna's new album will be out in Autumn 2009. Jenna has supported a number of well-known musicians including Martyn Joseph, Seth Lakeman, Phil Beer, Martin Simpson and Boo Hewerdine etc. Jenna's original songs are very much inspired by the sea, surf and landscape of her native North Devon and accompanying herself on piano and guitar, she possesses an astonishingly mature voice and stage presence. We are delighted to welcome Jenna back to Ely - Stables Bar, The Lamb Hotel, Lynn Road, Ely, CB7 4EJ - £8 in advance or £9 on the door - 8.30pm - Tickets may be booked in advance by telephoning 01353 740999 or 01353 664706
