Aaron Norton – 11:15 – 12:15
A modern independent artist. Nothing more, nothing less. Aaron writes his own songs, releases them, and then plays them around Surrey and London – for nearly twenty years!.
At the core it is voice and acoustic guitar — every vocal is live, every guitar part is played. Sometimes I layer in backing tracks and electric guitar to give a fuller, band-like sound. There is a wide range of covers run wide: Elvis & Buddy Holly through Simon & Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac, George Michael and Paul Anka, up to James Morrison, Paolo Nutini, Michael Bublé, Ed Sheeran, Snow Patrol, The Killers, The Kooks, George Ezra, Myles Smith and The Everly Brothers.
Aaron is a regular performer across Elmbridge, including The Bear Pub, Bridge Street, Walton-on-Thames.
