West Yorkshire musician to make debut at Yorkshire whisky distillery

The team at Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery has announced that Castleford singer-songwriter, Jack Walton will be making his debut at the special Twixmas Distillery Session on Monday 30 December.

Spirit of Yorkshire Marketing Director, Jenni Ashwood, is delighted to welcome Mr. Walton to the distillery for the first time: “It feels like a long way away, but soon all the hurly-burly of Christmas will be over, and we’ll be in the funny ‘betwixtmas’ week which is perfect timing for our final Distillery Session of the year.

“With heartfelt lyrics and breath-taking vocal delivery, Jack weaves uplifting lyrics around heartfelt guitar playing, contemporary electronic beats and skilful production. Drawing from influences as diverse as Led Zeppelin, Prince, Justin Bieber and Paolo Nutini, Jack fuses electronic and acoustic elements to create an unparalleled sound that’s truly his own. We can’t wait!”

Tickets for the event cost £15, or £25 including supper of pulled pork sandwiches, roast potatoes, apple sauce and gravy. They are available online at spiritofyorkshire.com or by calling 01723 891758.

Jack Walton has been writing and recording original music since the age of 11, initially refining his talents as a performer while playing gigs around his hometown of Castleford.

Since finding fame on The X Factor 2014, Jack has established himself as an accomplished solo artist and a talented songwriter and performer. After being scouted by several major labels, Jack signed with an indie imprint and production house, The House of Nanchang. He has just released his debut independent single, “Nowhere to Hide,” available on Spotify and YouTube.
