An Evening with Garth Hewitt
Strange Weapons - an evening with Garth Hewitt - Garth Hewitt, troubadour, gospel singer and protest singer in concert at Crediton Parish Church, raising money for www.amostrust.org
Drawing on his extensive catalogue of songs old and new, Garth sings songs of struggles and hope, regrets and homecomings.
Touring for 40 years Garth has visited areas of poverty, conflict, deprivation, and disaster, prioritizing friendships with local people and bringing them encouragement, but always returning to Europe and the US with personal stories bringing to life media headlines, keeping individual’s stories at the forefront when newspapers have forgotten, 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 Founder.
