Review in Folk World of Stephen Harrison 'Today Tomorrow - Remastered'

REVIEW OF STEPHEN HARRISON 'TODAY TOMORROW - REMASTERED'. Published in Folk World, November 2013

This is the remastered release of an album that Edinburgh musician Stephen Harrison put out last year. This is the first I have heard it or anything from Stephen Harrison, and it may be my loss for doing so. Although Harrison goes all the way back to the earliest post-punk era of 1979 in a band called Metropak, he has had a rather sporadic career until the last decade or so. His is a rich voice that is almost spoken ala Leonard Cohen and uses some lovely repetitive guitar patterns to set up his song stories. There are some strings and horns that broaden the horizons of the songs and plenty of reverb in the voice to create even more space. Even with those add-ins, I would preferred a bit more variety, even at the risk of losing the meditative qualities of this style. Whatever your opinion, it is pretty hard to deny this is a highly individual work that had me attentive from first note to last.

Foakies' - At The Royal Oak, 1 Infirmary Street, Edinburgh. EH1 1LT (downstairs lounge)

I will be playing a twenty minute set as a guest of Edinburgh songwriters Simon Kempston and Mark Barnett. Susanna Orr Holland will also be performing. The event is part of the annual TradFest which runs this year from 24th April to 6th May.
'The festival takes under its wing the former Ceilidh Culture promotion but marks a new phase of vigorous renewal of Scotland's culture in its local, national and international relationships. Edinburgh's first TradFest will take place from 24th April to 6th May 2013. For over twelve days the city will be a hive of music, song, storytelling, dance, crafts, folk drama and environmental celebrations for Mayday/Beltane. Falling at the traditional start of summer, TradFest heralds a seasonal wave of festivals across Scotland reaching through to the autumn'
