Blair Dunlop + support

Blair Dunlop, the award-winning British singer, songwriter and guitarist, has now released three albums two EPs and toured widely around the globe. All of this in a short four year career is astounding alone, but what sets Blair apart from his peers is the lyrical and musical maturity with which he writes. His third album Gilded was released in May 2016 on his own label – Gilded Wings – and was widely acclaimed gaining BBC Radio 2 Playlist status for the two single releases (The Egoist and 356) both of which were remixed by Ed Harcourt. Prior to this Blair released his acclaimed album House Of Jacks in mid-2014 which lived up to the promise of his 2012 debut Blight and Blossom (the quality of which contributed to his winning the BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award). “Dunlop brings an air of tenacity while displaying a fine repertoire of well-crafted songs spanning traditional and contemporary. He’s determinedly taking the traditions of folk in his own direction.” The Independent
