Maggie and Bill Johnson form the Beacon Acoustic club say:
Dec performed at The
Beacon last night and I'm still searching for an adjective that would do justice
to his 'butterfly' song - how amazing to write songs of that calibre when still
only 15 years old....
Anyway, if you
fancy hearing more of his work now's your
chance:
On Tuesday
December 5th, Glastonbury Assembly Rooms' regular folk night, "Fabulous Furry
Folk" hosts its youngest ever headline act in an evening of rootsy folk with a
community vibe, and an opportunity for floor spots to support the main act.
Recent "FFF" gigs have included headliners Robin Williamson, Martin Carthy and
Martha Tilston but the final gig of the year brings it all back home with a
chance for a local musician to play in the magical acoustic atmosphere of the
Assembly Rooms' stone hall. Declan Millar has earned his wings over 5 years of
appearances at Fabulous Furry Folk (yes - it's been going since 2007 when Dec
was only 10!) and various other Assembly Rooms gigs. Still only 15 years old, he
has also shared stages with Eliza Carthy and Lau and has recently been working
on his first CD, produced in Bristol by Patrick Duff of Strangelove, and
featuring his sister Caelia on fiddle and Brendan Sweetman on keyboards. His
music blends influences including classic folk-rock and psych-folk; Declan is
truly one of Glastonbury's finest troubadors. This gig will launch the new album
and give the audience a chance to hear some of his latest material as well
as earlier songs.Support will be from various floor spots; please get in touch
to play. Admission £5 on the door - 8 p.m. for an 8.30 start.(Nathan Williams)
