Glasswerks presents:
Richard Godwin
Wednesday 2nd April at Tommy Flynn’s, 55 Camden High Street, NW1
Doors 7.30pm (on stage 9.30pm)
A startlingly original voice, capable of provoking hilarity, bliss and/or abject terror in audiences, Richard Godwin will make an unusual mark in 2008. Most often compared to an English Jacques Brel, he has developed a confrontational, dramatic performing style, and has created a canon of compositions which tell the tiny tragedies of repressed butlers, cracked vaudevillians and Houellbecqian clerks (tales often inspired by his day job as a journalist). His louche baritone recalls the tones of Bill Callahan, Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen, while his rich, melodic guitar echoes Elliott Smith and Nick Drake. The admixture of influences, however, is rather unique.
