Nathan Ball @ The Magpie's Nest

Event information

Nathan Ball is quite simply an extraordinarily talented songwriter. His beautifully written, self-penned songs reveal the humanity of a man who sings about the world as it is – and how he’d like it to be. A highly skilled guitarist, his use of open tunings and intricate, finger-picking style make every note from his acoustic guitar shine.


Frequently compared to folk legends such as Nick Drake, John Martyn and Cat Stevens, Nathan still manages to create his own unique sound – a blend of poetic lyrics matched with a powerful and distinctive voice. A self-professed ‘bare-footer’, Nathan’s ‘bare feet and bared soul’ have become a trademark on the underground festival circuit.


Nathan returns to the Magpie’s Nest for the opening night of his first UK tour… For an experience that will draw you in, make you think, and leave you feeling that if all could see what Nathan Ball sees, the world would be a better place indeed… Not to be missed.

Support comes from Ruth Theodore.
