Richard Grainger – Louth Folk Club – 22nd October 2026
Richard Grainger is a seasoned British folk singer-songwriter rooted in the coastal traditions of Northeast England, known for crafting vivid storytelling tunes steeped in maritime history and working-class life.
With a career spanning decades, his music often pays homage to shipyards, fishermen, and the rugged beauty of Yorkshire’s landscapes, delivered in a warm, gravelly voice that feels like a fireside chat. Albums like ‘Blood of the Land’ and ‘Stormy Seas’ showcase his knack for blending traditional folk melodies with gritty, modern narratives, while releases such as *War Horse* and ‘On Heather & Clarty Moor’ cement his reputation as a keeper of regional stories.
A familiar face at folk clubs and festivals, Grainger’s work is a love letter to the North Sea coast and the communities that thrive—and survive—along its shores.
