Richard Dawson

Marc has Geordie songwriter Richard Dawson live in session from Salford.

Marc has Geordie songwriter Richard Dawson live in session from Salford Media City.

Though far from traditional, Richard Dawson's ability to channel the strangeness of common experience (whilst adding a little of his own) makes him a folk singer in the truest sense. Latest album, modestly entitled Nothing Important sees Richard pushing further into the experimental wilderness with his finger-shredding guitar work providing a harmonious accompaniment to his tales of everyday weirdness.

A treat for one and all if you like it out there.
