March 13th: Joint Concert with The Brewood Singers at Newhampton Arts Centre, Wolverhampton

Allow yourself to be guided by voices at this unique musical collaboration, a ‘must see’ event for all devotees of passionate singing. The Brewood Singers are directed by David S Brookes, and Dan will be accompanied by John Large on Percussion and Tom Bounford on Violin. Both acts will perform separate sets before joining forces for a finale.

The Brewood Singers are a popular, forward looking choral group who were formed in 1973. The Singers are known for their wide repertoire of classic pop songs, show and film music, traditional and religious music. The variety of repertoire has enabled them to perform many different types of concerts throughout the Midlands and have seen them collaborate with several orchestras and ensembles.

We will perform separate sets before joining forces for a finale (which is the really exciting part!) Please book your tickets to guarantee a seat and don’t miss this ‘one-off’ event.

This is the first time I have ever collaborated with a choir and whilst I am sure there’ll be some nerves I am very excited and honoured that David Brookes accepted my request to be involved.

Hello,

Were you at Huntingdon Hall last Tuesday? If so – THANK YOU!

Tom and I had a brilliant night supporting Peter Green and Friends. The venue is a converted church which has been lovingly restored, the staff were lovely and cooked us a chilli con carni, and the audience shocked us with their warm response to our music. 

I am now looking forward to supporting The Miserable Rich this Thursday at Birmingham Glee Club:

Funeral Song Featured In Ray Gosling BBC Documentary

Dear Friends,

“Death is something that makes men weep, yet a third of life is passed in sleep.”

A Lord Byron quote used in Ray Gosling’s documentary about death and dying broadcast on BBC East Midlands Inside Out last night.

This 10 minute short film discusses different types of burial and assisted suicide and includes a very personal admission from Ray that made headline news this morning.

I appear in a scene filmed at Ray’s house, where he hears for the first time the song I was requested to write for his funeral.

Whilst certain to cause heated and varied reactions, I think Ray has made a poignant and valid input into this ongoing public debate on death.

All the best,
Dan
