The Alun Parry Band

Imagine if Woody Guthrie joined The Jam. That is the sound of The Alun Parry Band.

Referred to by the Liverpool Echo as "a Merseyside folk God", Alun Parry is one of Liverpool’s foremost acoustic based performers and songwriters.

His packed gigs are described as the number one night out in Liverpool, and his album Corridors of Stone received widespread critical acclaim.

BBC Radio’s Folkscene, Britain’s longest running folk music radio show, recently profiled Alun Parry’s work and music in a one hour special.

"Talented songsmith." - The Guardian

"One of my all time favourite Merseyside musicians. A legend on the Liverpool acoustic scene." - Jade Wright, Liverpool Echo

"One of our great Liverpool songwriters." - Billy Butler, Radio Merseyside

"The Liverpudlian singer-songwriter packs more weight in the punch of his folk songs than most acoustic musicians do in a lifetime. From the anti-deportation anthem I Want Rosa To Stay to the rousing Thursday Night Drinking Song, Parry is acutely tuned in to the concerns of the everyman. With sparse instrumentation (guitar, bass, drums) Parry's honeycomb voice carries his insightful anecdotes with enough wry humour to wish he was your drinking buddy." - Lianne Steinberg, Big Issue In The North

"Parry whipped the audience into a cheering, table-slapping finale. This is music that makes you think as it makes you smile! Alun's thought provoking songs separate him from the rest of Liverpool's rich acoustic scene. A true individual in his attitude and his lyrics." - LIVE Magazine

"He managed the rare trick of combining radical politics with a down to earth style that won over everybody in the room." - Catalyst Media

"He delivers his own fiery brand of gritty folk/rock with a vigorous sincerity and an infectious sense of fun and energy" - Nerve Magazine

"Like those of other great musical storytellers such as Woody Guthrie, James Taylor, and John Lennon, the songs on Corridors Of Stone captivate the listener with subjects both serious and whimsical that never fail to capture the human experience." - David Bash, International Pop Overthrow Festival

"The hardest working musician in Liverpool." - Tricia McTeague

"A top recording. Incredible." - Lynn Staunton, BBC Radio Merseyside
