[Event Chat] Bad Timing: Richard Dawson + C Joynes - 16/02/15

Tickets already going quite quickly for this intimate show.

Following his memorable performance in Cambridge Junction for the Monomania festival last March, he returns to Cambridge for what promises to be an intense and intimate headline show following the release of his acclaimed album 'Nothing Important' in late 2014.

"Nothing Important is a remarkable record - at times deeply, painfully intimate, but also witty, bawdy, surreal, disquieting, nostalgic, brash and fearlessly individual. While Dawson draws loosely on folk traditions, be it from the North East of England, the Appalachian Mountains or the Gulf of Arabia, his sound also brings to mind more modern sources - Beefheart, Earth, Loren Mazzacane Connors, Bill Orcutt, Sun City Girls, tiny glimpses of drone, minimalism, avant-metal, math-rock, psychedelia. It's all of these things and yet none of them."

That was the bees knees

Had the pleasure of seeing Richard Dawson at Green Man last week, astonishing live, wish I'd made it to this one

Which animal's knees would you compare it to, marks?

Probably a weasel's ed, can't get higher praise than that

What's the difference between a stoat and a weasel?

I don't know, what is the difference between a stoat and a weasel?

one's a small furry animal, and t 'other's a shopping bag

A weasel is weaselly recognised but a stoat is stoatally different!
