Newton Faulkner

In 2027, Newton Faulkner celebrates 20 years of Hand Built by Robots, the landmark debut album that launched his career and introduced audiences around the world to his unmistakable voice, inventive guitar playing and distinctive blend of folk, pop and roots.

Released in 2007, Hand Built by Robots went to No. 1 in the UK and achieved multi-platinum status. It gave us enduring favourites such as “Dream Catch Me”, “Gone in the Morning” and “I Need Something”.

Renowned for his rhythmic, percussive approach to acoustic guitar, Faulkner has since built a celebrated career across multiple albums, international tours and collaborations. Throughout, he has kept pushing what one musician can create on stage. His 20th anniversary shows celebrate the album and the songs that have stayed with fans ever since, played live with the musicianship and warmth that have made him a favourite on stages across the globe.
