Heavy Pop: Richard Dawson
The revered singer-songwriter Richard Dawson joins us for a special solo show this August.
Such is the degree to which Richard Dawson has drawn down long drafts from the whirlpools of Elemental North Eastern Archetypes, he may now be one himself. Fearless in his research and willingness to follow his inspiration, Dawson has created an impressive catalogue of music and storytelling steeped in both ancient myths and contemporary dread. A fog of sickness, trauma and mute inevitability inhabits these records and is often expressed in the havoc with which Dawson’s hands produce sounds from his long-suffering guitar, an instrument as bruised, individual and indefatigable as its owner.
Support from Ben Marwood
A singer-songwriter with a guitar style somewhere between folk and rock and a twisting, poetic tongue-in-cheek lyrical style, Marwood has drawn inspiration over the years from fellow folk fingerpickers Johnny Flynn, Fionn Regan, Elliott Smith and Frank Turner to name but a few.
