Newton is an amazingly talented and charming singer/songwriter from Surrey. His unique style of getting different sounds out of an acoustic guitar by not only using the strings but the actual body of the guitar is influenced by the late Eric Roche, whom he met whilst studying at the ACM College in Guildford.
Describing Newton's music is incredibly difficult as he covers so many styles effortlessly, from the heartfelt and mellow acoustic numbers through to the heavier ranged songs, not forgetting his emotional rendition of the impossible to cover Teardrop by Massive Attack.
It's not all serious songs with Newton though as he sneaks about on the stage and engages with the audience beautifully by telling a humorous story for each song, trying out different styles and showing off his skills at "acoustic jungle", and for the members of the audience that
have been following him for a while, he'll also happily give in and sing the theme tune to Spongebob Squarepants!
