Ned Swarbrick is a 16 year old singer/songwriter from York, UK. Over the last couple of years he has been quietly establishing himself on the local music scene.
His more recent work has seen him penning a selection of acoustic based songs that reflect his love of both literature and pop culture.
Music is all about discovery...and Ned is the first to admit that he's still finding his feet. He refuses to be tied down to a single genre. This is reflected in his live performances, switching seamlessly between Belle & Sebastian-esque pop numbers and intimate folk tunes more reminiscent of Nick Drake. He describes his music as melancholy, upbeat, sad, happy, tongue in cheek and serious.
He recently supported Bernard Butler in Leeds at the Howard Assembly Room as part of his UK tour. With 40+ shows under his belt, he's had the pleasure of playing alongside some great bands and artists including, The Deep Blue, Edgar Jones and Marnie Glum.
He's just released his debut 4 track EP - Michelangelo which features a live track Emperor's New Clothes that includes friends and musicians from the National Youth Folk Ensemble (NYFE).
Over the summer, with the help from some of York's up-and-coming musical talent, he's been recording a collection of his songs, and has just done a live session with BBC Introducing York & Humberside. He's hoping to have some more new music to share soon. You're sure to catch him busking on the streets of York or playing in and around the city.
'The teenager from York displayed a maturity in his songwriting and the charming confidence of his delivery that belied his tender years.'
Simon Godley - God is in the TV (From review of Bernard Butler/Ned Swarbrick, Howard Assembly Room, Leeds)
'He’s a young fella from York who has already done more than a great number of artists twice his age.'
Will Farr, Eclectic Picks, Fresh on the Net
