I must also let you know that the Nottingham show on October 27 has been cancelled, all tickets will be refunded or you can do an exchange for Birmingham gig on 26th.

I do hope you can make it to the show on October 26th, Peter Bruntnell is travelling up from Devon to play, which makes it a very special event.

Take care
Dan

ps: Last week I did an interview with Chris at Brum Notes magazine

> So, a full length album on its way – how does you feel? Relieved, excited or
> a bit of both?
You guessed right Chris, a bit of both. But mainly I feel grateful to producer Michael Clarke for capturing the sounds in my head.

Thursday June 10th 2010 @ Glee Club Birmingham

 

Buy Tickets Here

 

Hello there,

The Miserable Rich have a wonderful new album ‘Of Flight and Fury’ and they have kindly invited the band and I to perform at the launch show in Birmingham.

NME described their music as “ …so heartbreakingly beautiful, it reduces anyone who hears it to a weeping mess.” and the studio room at The Glee Club is the perfect, intimate place to watch them live.

I will be playing with a four piece band and doing some new material in addition to songs from the Balloon, the Bubble & the Box (have you claimed your free downloads yet?! – if not get clicking!)

If you live up North, I am also playing a solo support show to TMR at Band On The Wall, Manchester on June 8th.

And finally, Elena Thomas is currently hard at work sewing some very limited CD bags which will be available exclusively at these shows – hope to see you x

Of Flight & Fury : New Album Out Now

Jeremy Vine on Radio 2

Click to hear Where Is The Love? on BBC Radio 2

I have to confess to being a little starstruck upon meeting Jeremy in a car park yesterday. I reguarly tune in and enjoy his mix of pop & pundits and his quick thinking intelligent delivery makes for a real good chewy listen (what I mean is the guests on the phone in often provoke a wide range of reactions and I find myself nodding in a greement or screaming and banging on the steering wheel in despair)  

So I was really pleased Jeremy played Where Is The Love? and would like to thank him for taking the bold step of playing an unsigned artist on daytime national radio. Co – written with Eric Barlow, the song features the wonderful sound of BJ Cole on pedal steel and Carina Round on vocals. Read more about the recording process here

This project was a real pleasure from beginning to end. The research part of it was fun as I had a valid reason to sit and watch hours of Ray Goslings wonderful films, and the filming day was great as Ray is a true gent and shared a lot of wisdom.

Next week I will be featured on a great website called Tunatheday

Bye for now

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.

Two Spring Shows

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:
