   About Adrian Nation
It’s not often you discover an artist with the 3 S’s for success..Songs,Singing and Serious musicianship… there are few more gifted acoustic players around today. Once you let yourself be charmed by his music, you’re hooked.” (Chris West co-producer of Richard Ashcroft’s ‘Keys to the World’) From the coast where he lives to the mountains he climbs and the lakes that he loves to be on, Adrian Nation has a unique view of the world and a rare ability to distil that view into the songs he writes and performs to a loyal and increasing fanbase. It was whilst performing solo to a festival crowd of some 8000 people that Adrian first caught the attention of Chris West (co-producer of Richard Ashcroft’s ‘Keys to the World’.) Impressed with the quality of Adrian’s songs and his ability to captivate a large crowd, Chris West approached Adrian and plans were soon underway to record a follow up to his debut album ‘Sowing Seeds’, this time with Chris as producer. A remarkable list of musicians became involved in the recording of the 11 new songs including drummer Gerry Conway (Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull) , on bass Brad Lang (ABC, Barbara Dickson) and one of Adrian’s heroes legendary Canadian guitarist Colin Linden (Emmylou Harris, Bruce Cockburn) Those 11 songs have become ‘Fall or Fly’, a wonderfully warm and balanced album on which Status Quo’s producer and Judie Tzuke’s songwriting partner Mike Paxman comments…“distinctive voice and guitar is backed by sensitive playing and a colourful, dynamic production. The result is a collection of songs you cannot get out of your head” He goes on to say “as soon as you hear the first few bars of ‘Don’t Turn Away’ you know you are in the company of a great songwriter…………the beautiful and evocative ‘Song to Maria’ is one of the best songs I’ve heard for years” The April 2008 edition of Maverick Magazine reviewing the four track EP of the as yet unreleased ‘Fall or Fly’ used the words “infectious, rhythmic and uplifting” But it’s not just Adrian’s recorded work that is receiving acclaim because it is in the live setting that the spirit of his songs come right to the fore. It was one such performance that prompted a BBC reviewer to write “Adrian combined his magic on the acoustic guitar with equally adept vocal skills to produce a set that had the crowd hanging on his every word.” www.adriannation.com For all bookings and enquiries contact info@laburnumbridge.co.uk

Alright mate, how's it going?
Yeah, absolutely loved you at Gosport, your playing was really inspiring. If you've got any transcriptions for any of your tunes, let us know, I'd love to give it a bit of a bash.
Yeah, hopefully we can gig together again sometime soon. There are a LOT of pubs and stuff around this area that have acoustic nights all the time that would be worth checking out, just let us know and we can give you some names... And if you have any venue recommendations for us, we'd love to know too of course, haha.
Also, whereabouts is it you're from? I see you've got some gigs at places like Colchester and Bury St Edmunds. I'm originally from a town called Sudbury near those places.
Steve.

The Reverend is delighted to inform you that his bold new single ELIZABETH – composed in honour of Her Majesty the Queen’s 83rd Birthday -  is OUT NOW through iTunes etc.
 
Featuring the bells, choir & organ of St Runwald’s Church, Colchester, it is a fortuitously-timed state of the nation address in Bb major. ELIZABETH is backed with HAND FOOT MOUTH, the Reverend’s response to the Swine Flu panic. Music doesn’t get more infectious than this – spread the dis-ease and download your copy now.

Check out our new music video "I Hate the News" on our page. Pour a bowl of cereal and join us on this romp through a typical day of TV journalism. It's not pretty but hopefully, it'll give you a chuckle.

Spring is here and so are the butterflies! This week I have a gallery of a particular group of butterflies called Brushfoots. Brushfoots are the most commonly known and encountered of the large colorful butterflies (excluding the swallowtails) found in Florida and the Americas. These include the monarchs, fritillaries, buckeyes, and the viceroy below (who has nearly identical markings as the toxic monarch butterfly) to keep it from being eaten by birds.... cool trick, huh? :-)

Click the butterfly below to see my gallery - and please let me know what you think!



Thanks for looking!
