Label: Big Sun Records
Release Date: 1st May
Chris Brain's music is so gloriously and comfortingly English folk with elements of Nick Drake, John Martyn and Fairport Convention that it has me hankering for an early saturday morning metal detecting or fishing or pickling or going to seeing wrestling in a community centre. Heading to a pub that smells of pork pies, cracking open some scampi fries for the table, drinking something hoppy and stumbling back homeward to my love.
'Did you have a good Saturday?'
'Aye, perfect'.
Chris Brain is a Yorkshire-based folk singer-songwriter releasing his fourth album, Red Sun Rising. Rooted in intimate storytelling and the pastoral tradition of British folk.
