Preview: Blair Dunlop at Music Room 25th May 2016
Blair Dunlop released his new album Guilded on 6th May and will be introducing it to the audience at Liverpool Phil’s Music Room on Wednesday 25th May 2016 as part of his UK tour.
Gilded follows on from Blair’s highly acclaimed 2014 release House Of Jacks and his outstanding debut album Blight and Blossom in 2012, which saw him win the BBC Radio 2 Folk Horizon Award.
Blair is a story-teller, known for his cerebral life affirming lyrics and the new record fares no differently – Gilded is a collection of stories and reflections, recorded in live takes at Manchester’s Blue Print Studios. On this record Blair remains true to his folk roots lyrically whilst continuing to push musically into new areas.
Blair’s career goes from strength to strength. Former lead singer of The Albion Band after being passed the baton by his father Ashley Hutchings, Blair has won awards, toured all over the UK and overseas, collaborated with a variety of writers and musicians, moved to London and set up his own record label (Gilded Wings Records), all of which have informed, and are reflected in, his mature and astute musical musings. The Guardian described him as ‘an increasingly adventurous songwriter’, and it rings even truer now. Blair has the confidence and experience to make the music he has always wanted to.
