Reviews

Special thanks to Chris Byron at Wigan Music Scene who reviewed the Haigh Hall Festival gig:
"Poyzer played his set better than I’d ever seen him on the stage ... a powerful artist and one who certainly showed Haigh Hall how to rock an acoustic guitar ... has got a set of lovely songs that are easy on the ear ... he’s very much an artist for the people ... knows what you want to hear - it’s almost as if he knows where you have come from to get to one of his shows and this is reflected in his songs ..."

Philosophy

It's a bit of an elitist word but for those who wanna read some of the thoughts behind the songwriting, this is it. Only one article so far, 'Blood For Oil', but there will be more ...

And doing it this way saves me sending long worded e-mails out to people who have no time or no inclination to read them.

Live Dates

Four in, one out! First up, added gigs with NICK HARPER @ Manchester University on Saturday May 31st and in Glossop on Saturday July 12th.

Now not happening is an appearance with Lloyd Cole on May 8th - there is no official support slot for the show so I ain't doing it.

Other cracking good nights added though, and two fine places to play they are: dp & friends at The Bakers Vaults, Stockport on Thurs May 8th, and at The Railway, Greenfield on Sat June 7th
