Singer-songwriter Gary O’Dea…booking live for 2016…solo acoustic or with additional musicians. Recently completed promo performances on the release of the album at Katie Fitzgeralds (pub/venue and studio…where the album was recorded) in Stourbridge accompanied by co-producer Eddy Morton on keyboards, plus a solo headlining performance at The Blue Piano Bar in Edgbaston, Birmingham (one of B’hams premier songwriter gigs) and also a solo acoustic gig in London as a guest of Alan Tyler (The Rockingbirds) and Steve Pulford (The Arlenes) Come Down and Meet The Folks promotions at The Apple Tree in Clerkenwell. The gigs were a great success.
The album has received excellent national, local and on-line radio play and reviews so far…including being made ‘Album Of The Month’ in the current October edition of the premier Birmingham and Black Country music listings and gig guide magazine Ryans Gig Guide as well as receiving a 4**** review from Gavin Martin in The Daily Mirror – see below some promo quotes.
