Remembering David Hughes - Craft Beer Maldon

Remembering David Hughes

Craft Beer Maldon | 16 September | 7.00pm | Free Entry

Join us for a special evening celebrating the life and work of much-loved Maldon folk singer-songwriter, guitarist, author and local historian David Hughes (1951–2023).

We’ll be screening the complete 2015 live-stream “Songs of Integrity”, remembering David’s music, humour and remarkable contribution to Maldon — and raising a glass to his much-loved alter ego, Cocker Freeman.

A talented finger-style guitarist, David performed on BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends, toured with acts including Fairport Convention and Pentangle, and was a founding member of St Agnes Fountain. Locally, he was equally loved for his humorous songs celebrating Maldon and the Dengie Peninsula and his books documenting the area’s rich history.
