Thanks- and same, really enjoyed what you were up to on Saturday too :-) I keep up to date with gigs here on Myspace, with listings and stuff, or there a place you can sign up for info, if you're interested, on my site at www.matthowden.com
But I can heartily recommend The Lantern concert, may 22nd- principally because The Lantern is such a lovely little venue, (its in nether edge, not far from The Merlin Theatre) and it should be a nice night there for my album launch.
Anyways, best of luck with what you're doing, hopfully I'll catch you in Sheffield soon, all the best, Matt
Charlie Parr is from the same Duluth music scene that spawned the likes of Low and Haley Bonar, and his music delves deep into the back roads of American folk music, there’s hints of Robert Johnson, Nick Drake and Will Oldham in his playing, and a true from the heart power and clarity that is simply stunning. This guy is the real thing, and you can hear it in every note he plays, which would also explain why the people at the superb End of the Road festival ask him back every single year!
Neil McSweeney plays beautifully considered and perfectly restrained music that will delight fans of Low, Adrian Crowley, Nina Nastasia, Mark Kozelek, and Jason Molina.
Deftly fingerpicked folk loveliness from a local favourite - Michael Rossiter perfectly executes traditional folk as well as his own material, sings from his heart and gets the perfect sound from his guitar.
