Angy

Angy, things get a little busy but I think it works.

The epitome of generosity when it comes to giving a fine performance, with a quirky poetic style that verges on satirical folk (rap). Earned an apprenticeship through performing in shady low life bands, (including the Slopstones, described by Peracles  as 'over grown harmonious lions locked in a cave') he now continues to be small fry in a vast ocean of talent where in the small rock pool, there is no bigger starfish...

Recorded on albums with unrecognised and sometimes invisible artists, later embarked on a solo pathway producing obscure cds such as ; ‘Show down on Shed Street’ (a tale of two barbers) ‘Strings on Fire,’ (guitar instrumentals) ‘Load O’Mischief’ (nutty as a fruit cake!) and the soon to be released;-..... ‘Misfit’.

The poignant material covers a broad range of subjects including Whinney Hill’, (a local mining disaster) , Fallen of the Day (the story of an Accrington Pal) and the Big Issue Seller to name but a few... Much of the material has been broadcasted on BBC Radio Merseyside, BBC Radio Lancashire, Radio Birmingham and out on t'world wide web, but to no avail.

Appearances include Fylde Folk Festival, (with Dylan appearing in the song writers workshop for the last three years), Middlewich Folk Festival, the Oswaldtwistle Folk Festivals, Pubs and Folk Clubs including charity functions and after dinner conference entertainment. The material ranges from tales of a battle of two barbers in a set curiously entitled ‘Show Down on Shed Street’, to the wild antics of the Ventolin inhaler in, ‘Wiffer in my pocket’

'He ploughs a furrow of individual quirkiness that makes life so interesting and appealing....'
