He’s also featured on Ont’ Sofa Sessions
He’s also a regular performer with Tradiio.
Currently gigging relentlessly around the South of the UK with his catchy brand of urban folk music, Lewis is fast becoming a crowd favourite, even being championed by the great Frank Turner.
Hard at work, Bootle has just finished his eagerly awaited debut EP, ‘Friction in the Funds’. Don’t be fooled by the track called Yellow Brick Road – it’s not an Elton John cover, but all his own work).
