Henry Sparks is a singer-songwriter living in Canterbury, England. Informed by chequered careers as a farm hand, carpenter, architect and university lecturer – and others too dubious to mention – Henry’s music draws its vitality from piercing social observation and the English and American folk music canons as its core texts.Alongside the struggle for the ‘legal tender’ Henry has written and played continuously during his life. He was a founding member of DIY punk innovators Longport Buzz and Sheffield roots pioneers Bootfare (appearing at Glastonbury and Kerrville Festivals). His 2012 solo CD ‘Seven Songs’ and 2016 EP ‘Latest Waxing’ received favourable international reviews. He is working on a solo album which should be launched in early 2022. He currently plays with The Country Counts and out locally as the plague permits.…distinctively English pastoral folk-pop, with its heart in the right place.fRoots…bizarre and startling in its originality.
