ACCOMPLISHED writer, guitarist and vocalist, Blair Dunlop will be coming to Marnhull Village Hall on May 1, performing songs from his upcoming studio album Gilded, as well as material from his back catalogue.

He calls into the Dorset village hall as part of his UK tour.

Gilded follows on from Blair’s highly acclaimed 2014 release House Of Jacks and his outstanding debut album Blight and Blossom in 2012, which saw him win the BBC R2 Folk Horizon Award.

Blair is a story-teller, known for his cerebral life affirming lyrics and the new record fares no differently - Gilded is a collection of stories and reflections, recorded in live takes at Manchester’s Blue Print Studios.

On this record Blair remains true to his folk roots lyrically whilst continuing to push musically into new areas.

Blair’s career goes from strength to strength. He has won awards, toured all over the UK and overseas, collaborated with a variety of writers and musicians, moved to London and set up his own record label (Gilded Wings Records), all of which have informed, and are reflected in, his mature and astute musical musings.
