Richard Dawson

Newcastle-based alt-folk performer and songwriter whose songs cover many subjects such as "...disgruntled civil servants dreaming of better days, anxiety-addled joggers listlessly searching Zoopla (UK real estate listings site) for houses they cannot afford in their spare time, amateur footballers who think they're Lionel Messi and beleaguered pub landlords battling rising floodwaters...."

He released his debut album, "Richard Dawson Sings Songs and Plays Guitar" in 2007, followed by: "The Magic Bridge" (2011), "The Glass Trunk" (2013), "Nothing Important" (2014), "Peasant" (2017), "2020" (2019), plus 2021's: "Henki" (with Circle).
