Local singer-songwriter Benita Johnson plays two solo sets at The Taproom in the Fishermans Lodge at Lakedown Trout Fishery, Swife Lane, Burwash, Heathfield, TN218UX. Free entry (pass the hat).
Fine range of beers on offer - including AF.
Set in the rolling hills of East Sussex, Lakedown is set on Actor and Rock Legend, Roger Daltrey's family farm, home to a brewery, trout fishing lakes, and the inspiration for the business.
Benita Johnson:
“I know we have a lot of home-grown female singers who are very underrated but Benita is quite simply the possessor of one of the best voices to come out of the U.K. in many a year. . it’s not folk and it’s not rock or pop, it’s Benita Johnson doing her thing and it’s beautiful. . . simply breathtaking. . .”
Malcolm Carter, Penny Black Music Reviews
“Her song-writing is top-quality stuff, and it’s music that you just gotta hear for yourself. . . I’d be surprised if you’re not convinced you’re in the presence of an unsung genius”.
