douglas e powell

 

 The exceedingly talented, Mr Douglas E Powell. Acoustic singer songwriter tinged with americana, english folk and melancholy. Wholly deserving of your attention!

a fine night out

Last night i had the great pleasure of accompanying my wife & Mr Douglas E Powell to an evening of musical entertainment at Lilicos in Barnstaple. There are free gigs there for the next few mondays as part of North Devon festival. Last night was a very mellow singer songwriter kind of deal featuring Peter Bruntnell, who despite living in Mortehoe, is regarded internationally as one of the finest British acoustic talents and is sadly not so well known at home. Pete (who i feel may have a slightly fuzzy head this morning) was followed by Neil Halstead who is probably one of my faves on my ipod at the moment. Many moons ago he was in shoegazer band slowdive and has since found his way onto a few surf films and into a lot of cd players as the main songwriter for mojave3. Last year he released his second solo album on Jack Johnsons label, and it's great!

He (along with Mr Powell) is on the bill for the upcoming Goldcoast Ocean fest at croyde. Next Monday@lilico's is Douglas E Powell & The Caves, the week after features Otis Gibbs

Highly reccomended. 

(Still flat today here but fingers crossed waves are on the way!)

congratulations, a celebration

Some of my friends got married last week. Congratulations, best wishes, hope you have a wonderful life together to Billy (a fine navigator of the nasal passage on his backhand) and Lucy.

Also massive congrats, best wishes etc to Doug and Tamsin, both fine people and a great couple.  We wish you every happiness.

Doug is a superb singer/songwriter with a somewhat english folk influence (but in a really good way). Visit him here. If you get the chance to catch him live it's well worth it, if you haven't had the chance yet, spend a few minutes watching him in action, he is most definately worthy of your time and attention.
