Folkestone’s own Samuel Ashton returns home for a powerful and personal evening of live music.
Praised on BBC Introducing by presenter Leo Ulph as “deliciously soulful”, Samuel has built an international following with over 500,000 Spotify streams and radio play across the UK, Europe, the United States and Australia.
Rooted in classic soul and blues, his rich, expressive voice carries warmth, depth and quiet power. A well travelled musician, he blends timeless influences with a modern edge, creating music that feels authentic and deeply felt.
His journey has taken him to major festivals including Black Deer Festival and The Great Escape, sold out London venues such as Troubadour and The Green Note, and the legendary Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, where he performed alongside soul icon Madeline Bell.
For Up Close & Intimate, it is simply Samuel Ashton on his own. Stripped back. Honest. Soulful. An opportunity to experience his voice and storytelling in their purest form.
A rare chance to see a local artist making serious waves, right here in Folkestone.
