Sorry, this event has passed

We start off our spring season on January 30th with Songdog + support Velvet & Stone Kingskerswell Parish Church Doors 7pm (Part Of Independent Venues Week)
AMERICANA UK 9/10 - "A set of songs that makes you think & touches your soul from a man for whom the word genius would not be an overstatement." (Jeremy Searle)

MAVERICK 4**** - "As ever, Morgans' lyrics and delivery is brilliant." (Christian Brown)
UNCUT 7/10 - "Dylan Thomas meets Ray Davies backed by The Waterboys? Believe it." (Nigel Williamson)
While the eleven tracks here retain what NME once described as "glacier-paced folk noir", the collection augments Songdog's melancholic majesty with a radio-friendly buoyancy. This is particularly the case on 'It's Not A Love Thing', which Lyndon calls "Ray Davies' Terry and Julie on Waterloo Bridge updated for a less optimistic age", and 'Raise Your Glass In Praise', which finds him "blowing a kiss to all those who find my stuff too bleak". Of course, there are those who find empathy in Songdog's forlorn balladry. And this particular constituency will feel gratified by the likes of 'The Old Superhero', 'Amen, Baby, Amen' and the title track, whose plaintive melodies and profound poeticism traverse familiar terrain of love and loss.

The whole thing is beautifully blended by renowned producer Nigel Stonier, who has previously worked with Fairport Convention, Joan Baez and Thea Gilmore. In addition to fellow Songdog regulars Karl 'Pod' Woodward, Dave Paterson and Jasper Salmon - playing guitar, banjo, mandolin, accordion, drums and fiddle - Lyndon is joined by several guest musicians, including Thea Gilmore, who appears as backing vocalist on four songs.

'Joy Street' has received critical acclaim from the likes of Mojo, Uncut, The Mirror, Maverick and Americana UK, amongst others. Tracks have been played on BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6Music, including a recent session on Tom Robinson's show, plus on other regional and international shows.
