Bio
.... Additional Links : .. ....Visit Miles Cain.com.... ....Buy A Way Of Being Free @ CD-Baby.... ....Miles Cain @ indiestore.com.... ...... ..For gigs, and Press info, please email : milesinyork(at)hotmail.com.. ..Miles Cain works as a musician, storyteller, writer and journalist. He writes and presents 'Next Week's News' for BBC Radio York, and has numerous radio appearances under his belt. These have included : BBC Somerset, BBC Radio Humberside, BBC Radio York (where he has played both acoustic and electric sets), and in August 2007 will feature on BBC Radio Newcastle and the "Dr Rock" show on Radio York. In addition, he's played an acoustic set on Radio Ryedale, and featured on Minster FM. Miles has also been busy in other areas : hosting a venue at the Beverley Folk Festival in 2007, 2008 and 2009. .. ..In 2007, Miles released his fourth full length album, "A Way Of Being Free", which showcased the usual strong blend of pop tunes alongside more heartfelt acoustic numbers. It's all a long way from his early days, when he started to write and perform his own songs in 1989 in a band called Trash. The band was formed out of an alliance with ..Syd Egan.., somewhere in England's home counties. Inspired by The Alarm, The Clash and John Mellencamp, Trash's career was mercifully short, and the band folded after just two gigs in the autumn of that year after the Police located their stash of sherbet dib-dabs... ..But one thing leads, invariably, to another, and Miles began writing and recording his own material. Early demos, like "Haunted Man" (1992) were produced by Syd, and Miles began to flirt with recording studios. .. ..By 1993, with the cassette, "The Dark and The Light", he was showing real talent as a songwriter, easily embracing influences such as Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Abba and Thin Lizzy, to name a few. .. ..More albums followed, including "Time to Credit Marvels" (1995), and the 6-track acoustic EP "Naked"(1996). In 1998 Miles and Syd teamed up again to write and record "Fairground Town", a down-at-heel tribute to Hull, where Miles lived for much of the 1990s. The live CD, "Live From Planet Hull", featured a backing band of local musicians and came out in 2000... .."Different Destinations" (2004) took five years to make, and showcased some great tracks and clever production by Paul Davies of Tollbooth Music. Cain considers good songwriting to be punchy, soulful and heartfelt. Think Billy Bragg meets Del Amitri, with a twist of Jackie Leven for good measure. The next Miles Cain album, A Way Of Being Free, was released on 30th April 2007. "At the end of the day," says Cain,"it all comes down to great hooks and sharp lyrics, well delivered. Four chords? That's plenty." .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..</ -
