William Jack

If you are looking for something a bit different to do on a Tuesday evening, William Jack is playing at The Folklore Rooms on 13th October 2026. It is a chance to see the Australian cellist and songwriter in a fairly intimate setting, right in the heart of Brighton at 12 North Street. The doors open and the music starts with a schedule running from 19:30 until 22:00, which makes it a manageable plan for a weeknight.

William Jack has a background that is not your typical classical cello training. He actually incorporates a lot of what he learned playing jazz guitar into his cello work, which gives his sound a distinct edge. His music tends to blend folk and bluegrass influences with some non-Western sounds, creating a style that is quite specific to his own approach. He has been touring across the UK, Europe, and Australia for a while now, and you might recognise some of his work from his album, This Old Cello Box. He also picked up the award for best music at the Adelaide Fringe in 2025, which gives you an idea of the kind of recognition he has been getting recently.

The venue, The Folklore Rooms, is a familiar spot for those who frequent the local live music scene. Since this is an 18+ event, it keeps the atmosphere focused. Tickets are priced at £10.00, and it is worth checking the DICE platform if you are planning to go, as that is where the official sales are being handled. It is a straightforward setup: a musician with a unique approach to his instrument, playing in a central venue, and a clear schedule for the evening. Whether you are already a fan of his genre-blending style or just curious about seeing a multi-style cellist live, the details are all set for that mid-October date.
