Gecko- special headline show at Folklore

Gecko is a singer-storyteller based in South London. His songs cover the big things in life with wit and warmth. From deep time to ignored characters in renaissance paintings, from pig fugitives to Duolingo streaks.

He tours in support of his new album ‘The Big Picture’ recorded with Shuta Shinoda (Ghostpoet, Hot Chip).

Gecko has performed across the world including at Glastonbury, Latitude, BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, the Edinburgh Fringe & the BAFTA winning Sky Arts TV show ‘Life & Rhymes’.
