David Hughes performing at Hove House Concerts

David Hughes

At the tail end of 2015, we welcomed back David Hughes – Essex’ finest and most original singer songwriter – to a front room near you. Our front room in fact. Described by Q Magazine as “Dry as tinder” and “More observant than Jodrell Bank”, David’s songs are by turns witty, caustic and moving. He writes about girls, football, folk music, girls, Maldon, girls, boats, pubs and girls. David Hughes’ website.
