Experience Ben Hawes live on February 6th

Ben Hawes, a British multi-instrumentalist, composer, and performer known for his distinctive fingerstyle guitar playing and evocative soundscapes, will be appearing in concert at Gjethuset in Frederiksværk, Denmark on February 6th, 2027. His music blends elements of acoustic guitar, ambient textures, and often incorporates influences from folk and contemporary classical music. Hawes frequently utilizes extended techniques on the guitar to create layered and atmospheric compositions.

Gjethuset is a cultural venue located in the former iron foundry of Frederiksværk. Originally established in 1991, it has become a significant hub for music, theatre, and visual arts within the Halsnæs municipality. The building itself holds historical importance as part of Frederiksværk’s industrial past; the town was founded in 1808 around the foundry and cannon factory established by Frederick VI. Gjethuset’s conversion into a cultural space reflects a deliberate effort to repurpose industrial heritage for community engagement and artistic expression. The venue hosts a diverse program of events throughout the year, catering to a broad range of artistic disciplines and audiences. It is known for its intimate atmosphere and relatively high acoustic quality given its industrial origins.
