Lindisfarne to Durham From 8th-20th June 2025 singer-songwriter Gareth Davies-Jones walked (with a guitar and recording equipment on his back !) from Lindisfarne to Durham Cathedral via St Oswald’s Way and The Way of Light (Northern Saints Trail). As he travelled, the journey itself provided inspiration, stories, perspectives and soundscapes for a new album called “A Troubadour Journey” to be released in March 2026. Each night along the way he performed a series of concerts on the theme of pilgrimage to connect with local communities and explore ideas around journeying and passing through. This Autumn Gareth performs some special gigs in intimate spaces to preview some of the new material and revisit the ideas he encountered in Northumberland - the ‘land of the far horizon’ and along the pathways of Durham - ‘no ordinary county”. The gigs will also feature some of his other work and collaborations.
Tonight's concert comes part way through Gareth’s album recording process working with renowned producer and guitarist Graeme Duffin and is an opportunity to hear some of the new songs before they are released in Spring next year.
