Little Civic 31 01 09

Dear residents of Birmingham and London,

I am pleased to announce two new gigs:

BIRMINGHAM: Friday Feb. 20th @ Glee Club, Hurst St. On stage 8:30.

I shall be supporting Jonatha Brooke, one of a select group of artists to be given access to the thousands of previously unheard lyrics written by Woody Guthrie, legend of American folk blues. Jonatha has set Guthrie’s lyrics to new, contemporary music, and the results are revelatory. For more info on Jonatha visit her site: www.jonathabrooke.com

I will play a stripped back, acoustic set of songs; mostly ballads, and i’ll be accompanied by June Mori on Melodica and backing vocals.

Hello,

Thank you to everyone who came to the Little Civic last night and helped to set The Balloon EP off on it’s flight!

The band and I had a great night, we really enjoyed playing to such an attentive and warm audience. A friend of ours called Carsten took some photographs, he has really captured the event well, you can see his photos here.

Tomorrow morning the balloon EP is released in digital format on all popular download sites, including itunes, hmv digital, 7 digital et al. So if you didn’t manage to get a hold of an EP, or you have a favourite track you’d like to download you can do so!

Our next gig is another full band show, supporting a great band from Canada called Wintersleep at Bar Academy, Birmingham on Feb 10th.

If you enjoyed the gig last night please save this date in your diary now: May 23rd 2009. We will be launching the next EP ‘ The Bubble’ at Newhampton Arts Centre, Wolverhampton with a full bodied performance, including a live string quartet.

Keep in touch and see you soon,

Best Wishes,

Dan
