GARTH Hewitt, troubadour, gospel and protest singer will be giving a concert at Crediton Parish Church on Thursday, April 28 which will raise funds for the Amos Trust ( www.amostrust.org ).

Drawing on his extensive catalogue of songs old and new, Garth sings songs of struggles and hope, regrets and home-comings.

Touring for 40 years, he has visited areas of poverty, conflict, deprivation, and disaster, prioritising friendships with local people and bringing them encouragement, but always returning to Europe and the US with personal stories bringing to life media headlines and challenging the privileged to share and to join the protest against injustice.

Garth founded the human rights charity Amos Trust in 1985 and worked for 26 years as its Director, then handing that role on to Chris Rose. Garth maintains a role with Amos as its Founder.

The concert starts at 7.30pm and tickets, priced at £8 (under 16’s free) are available from A E Lee Outfitters, 17 High Street, Crediton, by email: [email protected] , or on the door on the evening.
