Doors open 8pm
Richard Dawson has performed live all over the UK, Europe, and Australia and New Zealand since the release of his album ‘Nothing Important’ in late January 2014 and we are delighted to welcome to the Trades Club for what we hope will be the first time. Book early – we precict this will be one of the shows of 2016.
“This is a record that unsettles and subverts…Whether it’s a masterpiece will become apparent with the passage of time.” 5* – The Guardian
“one of the most unique singer-songwriter records in recent memory”- Rolling Stone
“A remarkable record” 4* – MOJO
“genuinely my favourite record of last year” – Marc Riley, BBC 6Music
“madcap, abrasive and, at times, laugh out loud funny” – Q
“Nothing Important is a rhapsody of the material, the messy, and the intensely human” 9/10 – Loud & Quiet
“Nothing Important is a remarkable record – at times deeply, painfully intimate, but also witty, bawdy, surreal, disquieting, nostalgic, brash and fearlessly individual. While Dawson draws loosely on folk traditions, be it from the North East of England, the Appalachian Mountains or the Gulf of Arabia, his sound also brings to mind more modern sources – Beefheart, Earth, Loren Mazzacane Connors, Bill Orcutt, Sun City Girls, tiny glimpses of drone, minimalism, avant-metal, math-rock, psychedelia. It’s all of these things and yet none of them.”
