This is the Launch Show in North Wales for the Ep BYDD WYCH...
I will be performing with a full band for the first time in Wrecsam & am very exited about this show...
Melody driven songs with experimental elements & unconventional instrumentation such as the African Karrimba, a box filled with gravel and singing wine glasses. Layered orchestration and innovative approach to song writing creates an individual style & sound engaging audiences with an exciting & unmissable live performance.
Recent solo shows have been met by a listening silence and very enthusiastic responses & reviews.
So don’t miss these shows!!!
I am very happy to announce that The Guest Performance for this show will come from The Gentle Good...
The Gentle Good is also known as Cardiff born Gareth Bonello, a Welsh folk singer and songwriter. His honest and tender vocals are well matched to an intricate guitar style that owes much to the great guitarists of the 60s folk revival. A dedicated multi-instrumentalist his recordings are layered with subtle string arrangements as well as banjos, mandolins and glockenspiels.
