Stewart Shackleton
A regular visitor to the Cramlington Folk Club since the mid 1990's, Stewart again took up the guitar after his children flew the nest.
He writes and performs his own songs based on his life experience.
He also performs other lesser known popular songs from different periods from the past. Stewart likes to involve the audience and makes full use of the 'Cramlington Choir' when he can.
