Beans on Toast, Badly Drawn Boy, Skinny Lister, 3 Daft Monkeys, K.O.G, Gecko, e Nuala

This guy keeps it real, just listen to him and you will understand, everything he says is true and nothing less!

With a name like beans on toast how could you not like him! It's as simple as breakfast, we all need beans and toast in our lives, to give us energy, to keep us down to Earth and well, for another reason which I'm sure has been circulating your mind, like athletes around an Olympic track.

The man makes folk music and anti-folk music, yes as confusing as that sounds he just does, with his frank lyrics on tracks which keep his talent in a good place. In his song 'Things' he goes on a honest rant about how things are which some may find very agreeable "Drilling holes into the hill and poisoning the land" he also appears to be a conscious person with a good sense of humour.

When he performed his song 'Can't get a gig at Glastonbury' the audience fell in love, they sang every word along with him, it seems a lot of people can relate to his experience of when he could not get a gig at Glastonbury, even laughing at some of his lyrics when he described how he got into Glastonbury before he became an act there 'I even jumped a fence!'

He is such a loved artist and I wish him the best!

“When I get to the pearly gates and St. Peter asks me what I’ve done with my life, I’m going to tell him that I wrote that song” – these were the words of a characteristically self aggrandising Damon Gough after watching a solo acoustic rendition of "Once Around The Block" go down a treat at London’s Apple Cart festival. Whilst it certainly struck of arrogance, one has to hand it to Gough – that tune and a host of others like "About A Boy" and "Born In The UK" are gorgeous, deftly arranged little creatures that display a humble side to their creator rarely found in his between song banter. An endearingly cantankerous fellow, Gough has been known to shuffle off stage mid set due to finding himself becoming bored, spend more time talking to the crowd than actually playing songs, and, when the fancy takes him, provide his audience with painfully accurate cover versions of Bruce Springsteen songs rather than any of his own hits. And yet what might infuriate a passing fan of Badly Drawn Boy is exactly what excites his fans – Gough is a preciously talented and charmingly stubborn fellow, with a demeanour that’s thankfully more than backed up by the quality of his work.

Crowd Surfing Double-Bassist and Singer, Flagons of Rum being passed around this is not quite the Folk and Shanty show some may have expected.
