Live at Craftwerk – Friday 24th October, Southend-on-Sea 🍻

A special night of live music at Craftwerk on Friday 24th October, headlined by Calum Baird as part of his nationwide UK tour. Known for his powerful songwriting and socially conscious lyrics, Baird’s performances blend heartfelt storytelling with a strong sense of purpose, making him one of the most compelling voices on the contemporary folk scene.

Supporting Calum are two of Essex’s finest musicians. Phil Burdett is a much-respected songwriter whose music moves effortlessly between folk, blues and Americana. Often described as one of the region’s best-kept secrets, Burdett’s songs carry the warmth, wit and emotional weight of a true craftsman, reflective, soulful and unmistakably honest.

Also performing is Kev Butler, a songwriter, producer and guitarist known for his work with Dead City Athletic, The Empty Bears and Dad Eggs. Butler crafts timeless melodies and rich, resonant lyrics, with guitar playing that speaks volumes between every word.

Calum Baird is an emerging Scottish folk, punk and story-telling singer-songwriter and musician featured on BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, BBC Radio Scotland and Amazing Radio.

His music is characterised by its honesty and authenticity, with lyrics that are often introspective and personal. His songs explore social commentary, modern life, relationships, alienation and social change. Calum’s influences include Neil Young, Billy Bragg, The Pogues and Dick Gaughan.

Calum has been featured on radio stations across the UK and internationally, and he has performed at festivals and events throughout the UK, Europe and Cuba. He has been featured in online media and the press, including in Scotland on Sunday as their Artist of the Week.

Phil Burdett is a singer songwriter who has been making music for over 40 years. From early years solo on the folk/blues/indie circuits of the late 70s/early 80s through his later band 'The New World Troubadours' playing in Essex & London to getting a record deal through a BBC documentary (resulting in his first album 'Diesel Poems') & on through subsequent changes in styles & personnel making nine further albums of songs drawn from a myriad of experiences & influences with many of Essex's top musicians.
