A Suffolk musician is celebrating his eighth album release, which draws on his life experience and the people he has met.

John Ward will debut new tracks from his album 'Life Drawing' at The Stanford Arms, in Lowestoft.

The album, which was recorded in his home county, but mastered in London explores language of love through music and art.

It also explores the hope overcoming adversity, the solace of singing together, escape from entrapment and the triumph of love.

The performance will consist of instruments such as double bass, mandolin, accordion, whistle, piano, violins, cello and banjo.

The artist, who hails from Lowestoft, will travel across the country with his three-piece band - Les Woodley, Lynne Ward and Stephen Mynott.

The musicians will travel from Scotland to Devon, the Midlands to Wales, Yorkshire to the South Coast.

The performance will take place at The Stanford Arms, 9pm on February 16.
